Official Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG Thread

Tried red and sail laces but ended up settling with black. Real nice in person

Stopped by the Finish Line in Denver and they had the Black Toe lows out for sale. Snapped a few quick pics of them when I got home.

Wow. Cherry creek ? Or which location?

I really haven't seen any elephant print issues with the cement low release. Really has great quality / uniformity all around. Not sure what happened with the RE 3s'....

Here's my lace swap contribution. Red was always going to be it for me though. Same color I went with on the cement j-pack dunks but I really like white with the swoosh too.

These would have benefited from the “skinnier” EP since it makes up most of the shoes, but I will still rock mine with no qualms.

Took those out immediately. Prefer wax as well.

 

[Ewing206]

jopx waxed black laces??

 

[FlightNikes]

Caved & copped. These are too nice to pass. Hope GOAT sends a fire pair. Turbo ship.

These will become classics.

Nice with those waxed red laces above.

I size down a 1/2 in low, you don’t have the ankle collar support and they feel bigger to me. For PF I’m not sure what kind of insert you’re using so that could change things.

There’s major heel slippage with AJ1 lows for me at least. Not sure even going down a half size would remedy it. I definitely need to use all seven lace holes to keep my heel from sliding around.

Same. I like to keep my laces loose which only exacerbates it.

 

[Ewing206]

Maybe thicker socks? Have a little heel slippage on the Zions but not enough to go .5 half size down. Thicker socks fixed that issue for me.

 

[urn0tlike]

Lows fit huge compared to regular 1s. Had to go down half size.

My left foot was graded to be the industry standard - this was confirmed by PSA in late 2022.

For AJ1 lows:

TTS only for spec B footers, .5 down for spec C. Spec A, no concerns. Hope this helps...

I think I might have plantar fasciitis developing in my left foot and I suspect the reason is wearing Jordan 1s 5 or 6 days a week for as long as I can remember.

They’re my favorite shoe of all time, but they’re terrible for your feet when you get to a certain age.

I told myself I’m not buying any new pairs unless its something special, like the Palominos.

I haven’t used a Jordan stock insole in years. Always take them out. Maybe that’ll help you.

I think it’s time for you to retire and wear these…

Yup, the first thing I do with a pair of AJ1s or any type of retro shoe with old tech is replace the insole. Find a good insole and swap it in whenever you plan on wearing that shoe.
