Official Air Jordan 1 Retro High Thread Vol: Best Model/Thread

[g-time]

I guess we’ll find out soon. Navy’s are supposed to release this year too.

As long as it's on the inside and not the out

I noticed nike don't be doing reserved no more unless I don't get them

Yeah they stopped. Last reserve I could remember was for UNC 1’s. I used to get reserves for all types of Jordan’s and dunks.Only thing they do now is exclusive access on SNKRS.

Recently got a great deal on a pair of 2015’s but I’m kind of attached to my 94’s. If you had to wear just one pair which would it be? Curious to hear responces. 94’s ar probably a 7/10, 15’s are 9/10.

beat up the 94s

 

[nostalgia94]

grey japans looking nice. wonder how navys would look like...?

also what if they included these (probably in the insoles instead of the heel)

That would be a cool detail but they will more than likely say CO.JP like the metallic silvers

kinda tough because both can hold their own value even if worn, but I tend to give my older retros a rest once a new retro is available. Your 94s even worn holds a decent value. I’d say wear the ‘15. You’d probably further deteriorate your ‘94 if you continue to wear them (especially being almost a 30 year old shoe) and ultimately you’ll only have one pair in the ‘15. Present day shoes are able withstand crazy beatings, you’re ‘15 will last a long time.

Never handled them in person but from everything I've heard about them they really are high quality...plus they're an original idea. Limited and resell price has nothing to do with it. If JB released them as a general release but still used the same quality materials then I'd still make the BMW comparison

I have the Black Toe Unions, and I personally love them. The unique build and unique details of them, the good quality, and the fact that they’re almost the Black Toe with Black Tongue that I’ve always wanted are what reeled me in. But IMO, anyone would be absolutely fooling themselves if they said their limited nature had absolutely nothing to do with their appeal.

I’m pretty sure that they’ll look just like the original Navy Japan’s, but with the same stitched NA on the tongue like on the upcoming Silver pair. So just like this...

Probably the only Jordan 1 im ok with having a jump man

 

[thegamemodo9]

Did them on the Pine Greens in February.

I’ve always liked these, but always dreamed of a release without the Jumpman, so I was excited about this rumored pair. But, and I’ve said it a few times before, the lack of a tongue tag looks weird to me. Just a straight naked tongue without the tag to give it more dimension and break up the the tongue area is a tad odd. So it’ll be a close call on whether I ultimately swing for them or not.

 

[126006]

I’ll probably pass if the tongue is leather. Just can’t do that.

 

[beed]

Leather tongue tag is trash. I never even noticed till y’all said something

It’s so trash, but you didn’t notice.

happy easter everyone

happy easter everyone

Quality on tongue tag?

 

[126006]

The tongue tag is sbb quality. Both A-1 and bananas.

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

happy easter everyone

Tongue tag looks like great quality wallet leather.

Yeah def looks better then the ROY tongue tag quality wise based on pics. Gonna wait to see in hand though before I pass final judgment

 

[howdythere]

happy easter everyone

These look on feet. Which Jordan 1 would you compare it to in terms of leather quality?

 

[ModernMade]

Leather laces coming next

 

[D_eezus]

happy easter everyone

Happy Easter fam.

can’t wait for my pair to come in, throwing white laces in them immediately

I can’t wait for my Court Purples (CPs) to touch down. While I’d always prefer the original style nylon tongue tag, the CPs are perfect otherwise, so IMO the tag is a minor detail when everything else (color and colorblocking) is dope.
While I totally understand and respect how a detail like the tongue tag can sway someone one way or the other in terms of liking a pair, some of you guys are talking like if JB gave us a completely accurate reproduction of a classic Jordan 1 (like let’s say a Chicago 1 or maybe the coveted Black Toe w/ Black tongue), and gave us actual quality material, great shape, and correct OG details, and the actual single difference was a leather tongue tag as opposed to the nylon version, that you’d pass due to this single detail. While I’m sure some would, and that’s perfectly fine, let’s not act like that single detail would truly deter many from buying would we’d otherwise view as a perfect shoe. Let the inevitable 85’ Chicago be this whole “limited, numbered, genuine calf leather, 1 to 1 OG perfect reproduction of the coveted Jordan 1 Chicago, white tongue tag like the OGs but leather to signify this once in a life time re-creation,” and all these things be indeed true. 99.9% of us would be losing our sht over them (I would, but the Chi is the GOAT Jordan to me), even if some commented here and there about how they wish the tag was nylon.

 

[negrotastic]

I'm imagining what cats would complain about if the tag on the CP2.0 was actually nylon?

Leather tongue tag wasn’t a deal breaker for me. I’d rather true to form, but I love the dark purple color they used and the Chicago style blocking. It looks so classic. Not to mention they use WHITE and not Sail like they used on the other Court Purple’s. I actually prefer these over the other ones, but for me it goes back to the OG Chicago style blocking.

Exactly my point. I’d prefer the nylon tongue, but they’re dope regardless, and Chi color blocking is GOAT IMO. I also like purple since it’s both my high school colors and I’m a Kobe fan, so these were additionally a no brainer.
