i think its an obvious hype grab on nikes part. nike moves different when they want to generate hype and when they want to fill shelves

as a color way theyre not bad.
That's kinda par the course for Nike though. If they were done with the 1 I don't think they'd even give them a layup like Mocha lows.

youre right, it is. but the point that im getting at is that its manufactured to some extent. when nike wants some models to "cool down" they bake it in to the release schedule imo
 
I am still waiting for the Jordan 1 Retro Low OG Shadow 2024 to be added to SNKRS. The release date is May 11th, so it should be soon.
 
Secured mine a few days ago

ngl i'm not so sure about this color blocking cause I feel like trophy room could've done something different. ( for example I think a converse tar heels inspired pair would've looked sick, providing that they gave it the worn look that they did for the first Jordans they did )
 
Mocha lows do absolutely nothing for me. Just as boring as the highs.

Brown and sail shoes need a rest . I don't need more than 1 pair of that color combination.
 
I don't like how JB changes the material/color tone on the high colorways when they release them as lows.

They did it with the black toes and looks they're doing the same thing with the Shadows.

The bright, smooth leather on the heel becomes a dull matte look.

...hoping they don't do the same with the game royals.

I agree. I have the Palominos Highs and I haven't even wore them yet simply because brown is not a color I wear often.
 
Same. Contemplating unloading my DS metallic blues for what i paid for ($127) if anyone needs a 10.5
 
What is the point of this model now that they are releasing 85 lows?

I would have said that the 85 was for original colorways and the OG was for non-original colorways, but there were only two original 1 Low colorways, they've already released, and there are more on the way. So, it's not that. I like both cuts and would much rather them get rid of the knockdown 1 Lows that have the higher collar and ****** materials, but they probably won't do that either. Who knows.

Yeah but the non-85 OG lows are ironically less OG than the 2015-2016 OG low model. They intentionally crippled this model by shrinking the swoosh and removing a lacehole for some unknown reason.

Pretty much every retro is cooling down, even 4s at this point.

Nike/JB increased retail prices and flooded the market trying to capitalize on the post-Last Dance and COVID retro hype meanwhile the sneaker market in general is down.
