Official Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG Thread

The red is nicer on the lows compared to the Highs but other than that... nah

the leather is not even close. the red leather on the lows is like straight up plastic. im honestly trying to wonder how they will look after a few months of wearing
 
The biggest disguise is this "tumbled leather." People associate that with good quality, but they all smell like chemicals now.

Is the toe box for these Bred lows better than those Black/Gold Melo 1's? That toe box material felt terrible and stiff.

I've said this plenty of times in the Remaster thread. Folks are blinded by this tumbled leather. Remove that feature and what do you have? The same retro as recent past with a higher msrp. :{

The toe box on those PE Melo's were some kind of felt/velvet material. Or are you talking about the lower toe piece?

Look at my very old posts in that thread. i been telling people remastered leather on most of the models isnt gonna be any better or anything special. I even mentioned people are getting fooled by the tumbled crap.

That's a shame. Looks like any future pickups I have will have tumbled leather on them. if the smooth leather turns out be akin to grape V leather (with a higher price) it will be hard to go back to them.
 
The Red Leather On The Toebox Of My Lows Feels IDENTICAL To My 2013 Bred, Shadow And Royal ToeBox's, Y'all Dudes Are Buggin' :lol



They Aren't Black/White High Quality But The Difference In My Eyes Is Minuscule Compared To The Others :rolleyes
 
Any body else not get shipping from Nike? I was thinking that maybe because the holiday, plus all the other shoes that dropped, that they are lagging behind.

I got shipping already, but I also got an email saying that the shipment might be delayed due to weather. Mine should still show up on time though.

I think my royal toe box is softer than both my low and high pairs of breds. Don't get any sort of weird creasing on those. Just the normal wrinkles
 
I haven't even gotten shipping info on my NDC order. I chatted with a rep tonight who told me that all shipments in and out of their Memphis warehouse were halted for a few days because of the weather.
 
1 of 2 pairs came in today. NdC shipping was a weird one. I selected the 2 day Lunar shipping. The order never updated. Then last night I get a shipment delay/possible cancel email. Only to get a shipped email a few minutes later?? Then this morning I tracked the package. They shipped it overnight to arrive today! The original receive date when I placed the order was today. I guess FedEx stuck to their committed arrive date.... Crazy!
 
Looking for a 14 at retail. If you know anyone who has it available, please post. Thanks!

Royals are much softer than these lows, no comparison. And they are softer than Bred Highs
 
Please don't post pics...

I don't think I can resist them, and I really need to slow down. Hopefully I'm offshore when they drop:rollin
Even if they dropped they'd be here when you got back. Lol...a lot of people will pass on those.


Let's not turn this into the remastered thread. That thread is awful!!

I hate these quality and jordan brand discussions. They don't mix and bad quality isn't stopping most from buying them so why complain? Lol...the shoe still looks dope.

Excluding remastered ones it's pointless to argue xxxx was definitely better quality because the NA AJ1s quality was non consistent across the board.

FWIW out of all the NAs I've had in my possession royals were by far the WORST quality followed by the Blk/red, shadows were the best I've felt out of the three.
