Vietnam isn't any better. They still have that garbage toe.

they are indeed not much better
but at least the toebox and the midsole wont go up like a ski jump
and you can reshape the vietnam 1s, but if you do that to the china 1s they still look crappy after the procedure

My ID's are from China and my OG pack pair were Vietnam. I'm taking my ID's over those any day. Material aside, the OG pack pair was like a half inch shorter in height or more than the ID pair. The dimensions were way off and the sizing was way off too.
But in all seriousness, is there anything that can be done about this? Jordan brand is revamping their whole line up, so why can't
Nike fix some stuff. I don't even care if they use super premium materials on these, but fix the damn shape at least. They can use durabuck and mesh all day and I'd be happy. Some of the best Air Max 1's are durabuck. Someone spam Gentry until he replies lol.

FINALLY!!!!! Been a long time coming but finally got my hands on a pair for a decent price. Came home to a grail.... IMO.

they deff can but nike is not gonna use the old AM1 mould cuz it would take more materials to manufacture the upper
and more materials means that i will cost more money, they will maybe save 1-2 dollars by using the new mould
but if you multiply that with 200000 pairs of shoes it will be a lot money what they have saved
i think keep complaining about the shape/quality is a good thing, cuz nike is deff monitoring NT
maybe 1 day they will gonna remaster the AM1s like what they are now planning to do with the Jordans

Looks like bows & arrows in Berkeley has the mercurial pack on sale. You'd have to call them for sizes tho.

Theres a guy selling a size 8 QS varsity blue but is asking 350 for it and wont sell for any less than $300 shipped. That price is too steep for these

That's too bad, I was hoping only the samples would look like this, I was looking out for these and the white/grey/red leather c/w, gonna pass now. The perforated leather is a nice touch though

samples will never look like that, and also samples comes from vietnam or taiwan and not from china
and samples are always slightly better looking than the real deal, because they gonna use them for catalog pics and such

Yeah I meant the shoes used for the catalogue pics, they always look good, most of the times the same shape
And I've seen them on Ebay and a few webshops in all kind of shapes, but it wasn't really clear that they had the China shape, on some pics they looked bad, on other less bad, not good but less bad

Good pickup. Got mine last year for $300. Couldn't resist. I have the urge to double up on these.
