On foot pics just because. I gotta say any 1 with SBB-style color blocking looks best with white laces

Taxis? Duck feathers?

Enjoy the preruined 1s with "duck feathers" under the wings.

at leadt u cant see em. not ruining tbe whole side of the shoe like the 12s imo

It takes a while to grow on you but the detail and the quality is very good. Someone is offering a Pinnacle 1 Vachetta tan for mine, plus a bit of cash of course and I'm kinda close to pulling the trigger though lol.

I would do it if you don't like the shoe
Personally I think the shoe is nicely
Made quality is outstanding
But I can't see my self wearing these
I'll be willing to trade for black toes if I come across.
It kudos to those who will rock...
Post pics with outfits hen y'all do!!!

Gotta shine is a bit underrated IMO...

Understatement of the Year bro I agree wholeheartedly the all stars were the one shoe that I absolutely wanted this year even more than the royals and I was happy I was able to get them!

 

[turbo95eg6]

Beyond impressed with these. They're the next top 3. Everyone bashes bashes bashes and then boom they're 100-200 more on the secondary market

Wings are a sleeper bro. the quality is amazing. i agree with u 100%, ppl are crazy for bashing these. i will be rocking these all fall long this year.

Why the fall? People should just wear them now, I swear no one wants to post on feet pics cuz these look impossible to pull off

Maybe I'm just speaking for myself, but I plan to only wear these with jeans since the boot laces give off a boot vibe. And seeing as the weather is steadily in the upper 80 degrees and humid, I'm also passing on the jeans--and thus the wings--until fall.

Someone on my local FB group let go of this for $180... DS+my size.... had to be copped!

 

[bashmilk]

What was retail on the wings?

 

[trulyfit]

I honestly forget that I have these. I wore em yesterday though, so fire.

 

[sneakaprince]

ASG> Wings for sure.

 

[gothmog]

ASGs were great no doubt 

 

[pmpdaddyrobford]

@CharmCityKid
so what do you do, wear a pair of shoes five times and throw em out/sell em? Or obsessively clean them?

a lot of us have enough shoes to wear them a couple times a year

 

[mf gooze]

ASGs were better than Wings... But then again so are Benassi slides.

 

[jkitty]

Lettermans > Wings

The only shoes I wear a ton of are my breds and royals. Everything else kinda gets out on the reserve list unfortunately. I wear my 2013 black toes a decent amount as well to switch it up

i switch it up between all my shoes. but, my everyday go to is my cement 4s. only cuz i doubled up tho. wish i trippled. but i eventually rock em all. my fear 4s have actually seen more wear than others. love those. onve i break out the metallic blues, those will see feet a lot this summer. Wheat 13s have held up well over the years. dam, so many shoes...lol

 

[sneakaprince]

Not saying nothing else gets worn but my breds and royals are my go to a lot of the time.

I've been meaning to downsize my collection a bit this year because so much **** just sits otherwise. My ideal collection/ rotation is probably 50' really good pairs of kicks.

 

[coach js]

Im right around 50 right now. its a good manageable size collection. mostly jordans in OG colorways is what im in too. some retro + cant be passed on tho. but, i try not to get too carried away......try lol

Yeezy Season 6 Runners >>>>> Wings

The Wings literally look like they've been baking in a trash heap for 50 years. Quality, my ***

See I've been as high as 175 ish got smart in 2011 and sold a lot but I've crept back up to around 100. I recently sold a couple of things and I've begun donating a lot of my older SBs that I don't wear to friends and fam or my students.

I'd be totally fine with 50 solid pairs of kicks I swear.

 

[jaynev]

Glad we're back on track. Wings should've been a metal statue trophy room display piece.

 

[tr23]

I don't think wings are hard to pull off. They are basically one subdued color. Top 3 or maybe even sbb are harder to even "pull off" because of the orange.

Wings are ok imo. Quality is really nice just something is off for me. I think it's the black midsole. Maybe if it was white and like a gum or bronze outsole I'd like em better.

 

[modelsandpizza]

In all honesty, there are far uglier Jordan 1s out there.

But to even compare it the classic-in-the-making All-Star 1s is downright insulting

My re-cap of the last few pages:

Wings are decent quality but terrible colorway
2014 blk/wht 1's better than a lot of 1's from then till now ( been saying this)
Forcefields are the TRUTH!! I wear them in AJ 1,3,4,13 and dunks
Sails and TB's will be copped on heavy discount (maybe)
