jesus man please help us this is like the 3rd og jordan classic they are going to ruin with this **** this coming year and next **** off nike
I really hope they dont go this route. the done 2 WC drops since GR 2011 with jumpman (I still have) 88 which were super limited and the slamdunk with translucent sole. Can we just get a true WC no weird alteration and drops as a GR for the masses? seems simple enough

I’m normally against it myself as well, but I think it looks good on photons, in pics anyway. If they end up sitting in my size, I might cave, or if I end up seeing a pair in person, I might grab if they look good in hand.

I said it way back. The Ts color ways are beyond decent. Shima or safari vibes for sure. I could do without the cactus branding and the cover. As a colorway only, it’s a top 50% at1 model.

What a mess

Left shoe has some wrinkled suede issues and the right seems to already want to be broken in and bent in before use.

I should’ve broken in this pair first. Thinking of a return unless someone wants for retail plus shipping with the issues known. Size 13.

💯 The Travis AT1 would've been much better without the Cactus branding and the snap holes. But still pretty excited to see them in hand.
Damn, sucks your Chloros showed up like that. There's a bunch of QC issues with my pair too, seems to be the case with a lot of the Chloros. Except I knew my pair had QC issues and still bought em :lol:. I asked the person working at the store if I could get another pair since I noticed some small issues with the pair they gave me and they said "Nah, that's the only pair" so I bought em. Then like a week later they load up stock on their website, and what do I see - my size available for sale :emoji_thinking:

Eeeesh. My Navys have a little bit of that wrinkled gray nubuck on one of the shoe’s heels, but that’s it as far as any real flaws on any of my three pairs of these 2022 AT1 retros. Starting to think I’ve gotten lucky with the QC for the most part.
 
My pair from UNKNWN was pretty good. Some glue stains on the left and the banana shape on the right. I wouldn't pay resale for another pair though.

2012s are still good as well.

It’s a shame these left the factory like that. Nike has to do better when it comes to quality control.

I really like my pair from unheardof. Aesthetically it looks great. Material wise, yeah it feels a bit thin, around the ankles and tongue. Overall, not bad for my first pair of chlorophyll trainer 1s. Got a sticker from unheardof.

It’s just sad you have to go through 3 pairs to maybe find one that’s acceptable. Lucky or unluckily, the first from size was 99% perfect. And those got worn first. Sole classics had some inner medial white leather issues and my third pair is literally the worst.

We’ve had glue stains and such over the years but this feels different. Should I be glad we can see the actual flaws now?

All three will get worn with ease but I don’t feel comfortable reselling these other two for anything but close to retail. These flaws are bad. At the same time, I overpaid on the first size pair so it’s all about averaging it out.
 
Does anyone else feel like these new Trainer 1s fit both tight and long? 10.5 in both the Chlorophyll and Photon were great for me length-wise but a bit too tight, and 11 in the Photon felt good but seemed too long.

On a related note, do we think there are any more size 11 Chlorophylls out there, or am I a day or two too late? :emoji_grimacing:
 
Navy’s and Photon’s were delivered today from FP after a 10 day delay (24 days in total) due to an email I missed. Totally my fault and I’m glad to have them in hand finally. They were shipped in a bag but surprisingly the boxes were ok and only one had a slight dent on the box. Both pairs look great and no quality issues. Ended up paying $130 CAD in duties which is fine and I expected it.

Ended up with 2 Chlorophylls, 1 Navy and 1 Photon. Hoping to double up on Navy’s if they come to Canada and I’m really tempted to double up on the Photons but we’ll see.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread and helped out with links.

How small do these run again? I’m a TTS 12. Not sure if the 13s would be too big

Ended up unexpectedly finding an 11 Chlorophyll at Hirshleifers on Long Island. Yeah they're a bit long but definitely do-able and better than 10.5.
 
I bought these as a consolation for taking an L on the Travis pairs, but the horrible quality on these makes me want to send them back. Crazy glue stains all over and you can see the paint streaks on the midsoles smh
