Official Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG Thread

[sfsjjang98]

I like elephant print as much as Jordan 3 head I guess, but the highs and mids are an example of too much for me, sort of like the jordan 3 flips from many years ago.
Like the elephant print cardigan that was being talked about in one of the threads lol. Just too much print everywhere I guess.

But somehow the color blocking on these work for me. Hope they sit for for a decent 20-30% discount everywhere for everyone to cop.


A past example of some print that I like. One of my favorite low CWs, don't ever see these in the wild.

Clean and just enough:

Just too much:

Guess I’m in the extreme minority but I just don’t understand why folks don’t like the cement highs. I actually don’t think they’re all that bad. I mean the lows are dope too but I thought the highs would’ve been received much better than they did. Crazy to see them sitting everywhere. I definitely want to grab them on discount. If those sat then the lows should also sit IMO.

The hate be louder than the love.

When black toes drop ?

Has anyone been able to solve getting out of this maze?

I think these lows are . Throw some different laces on em and they can slide easily into the rotation. But I am one who likes things that are a little quirky and different so…

Have you guys had a good experience with SnkrDunk? They have some smoke grey lows for a decent price on there

Very good experience. They update you every step of the way. I bought some Tokyo 96’s and some L&F’s from them so far.

We expecting black toes to be tough cop?

As I'm getting older, lows are starting to make more sense for me.

I think they’ll be easy enough. Big sizes will sell out, small sizes may or may not, but resale will brick. Just the platform will win, flippers will take home less than retail and buyers will pay more than resale. Idk why people sell on there to make less than retail unless somehow they got them for the low.

Grey toes look really good. I’m kinda moved on from buying every shoe that looks good. Still may want them though

Black toes in 11.5+ will instantly be gone.

 

[206to813]

Black toes in 11.5+ will instantly be gone.

But we’ve seen plenty of shoes sell out and brick on resale. I think that’ll happen here. Basically be available for >$20 over retail. But then get busted on the head for fees.

 

[onthenephs]

Yooooo Girbaud back in style or what?

 

[Davey Magoo]

Yup.

still waiting for the pairs of cement laces

 

[zombiejohnny]

^^^still deciding if I'm going to cop a pair. It doesn't seem like many stores are releasing them. I didn't see them on the calendar for FNL or FTL. Makes me wonder if they're going to be limited.

Yeah, kind of an interesting release. Not that many places releasing them, but they’re gonna be on SNKRS and Nike.com…?

 

[jordanhead718212]

Need to see sail laces in the elephant prints. I feel like those could set them off.

I saw Hibbetts is getting em too but sizes always sold out like at 10 am on the dot.

This video has some lace swaps. They call it cream but pretty close to sail. I'm not sure I like this red used or the gray that come with them but I do sort of like the sail/cream color.
