THE OFFICIAL AIR MAX 1 THREAD

[vinnuendo]

How do i check the progress on my NBYs?

I tried on the email they sent me saying that they're making it but it just takes me to my order

It's not quite like a dominos pizza tracker lol they'll get there when they get there

 

[KungPaoKao]

Looks awesome!

 

[pilbondin]

My pair just came in, whoever said that the leather was trash has no idea about quality leather……. You can literally smell the quality on these

Sorry, I still maintain that the leather looks trash and will continue to think the same if my pair looks like that. Quality leather is generally smooth, not tumbled. It can be soft or stiff. When it comes to sneakers, my pairs with the best leather are Common Projects, Margiela GATS, Feit Handsewn Lows, and Slimane-era SL/10hs. There’s a massive difference between those and any Jordan 1, IMO. They’re not the most amazing leather ever, but they’re good. (Of the AJ1s I own, the pair with the best leather are the Obsidians, and the worst are the University Blues.) These AM1s are trash in terms of the leather quality, and the photos make me wish I had chosen mesh instead of leather for the toe box.

https://www.styleforum.net/ here you go dude just hang out there instead

You got all that knowledge about leather quality taking up space in your brain, out here shouting designer brands, yet you still went on nike ID and thought "hmm yeah I'm gonna go with the leather"

Im no sneaker afficionado or leather/pleather expert, but that looks good to moi.


Tumbled factor reminds me of the quality they used on the
Recent bacon 90s.


Muy bien, guays.

Not all of Nike’s leather looks terrible. With that said, the last time I got something decent from a NikeID order was a pair of Dunks in 2017. I chose leather for these AM1s because the Atmos Elephants remain a grail for me, and I wanted to mimic them.

And I do spend time on StyleForum, though I’m aiming to get off forums, generally, this year.

Bound to happen. At that price might as well go for the real deal.

The sad part is someone will probably jump on it. Haha

Can’t even be mad at them - get in where you fit in.

 

[turbo95eg6]

That leather does look a bit odd, kinda stands out too much

Just for the sake of argument……….both have tumbled leather, the Banned 1 have the best leather I have ever gotten from Nike to date, last time I saw that quality was before 2005, second is the wife’s Kate spade purse, once again tumbled leather, soft and great quality so your argument that tumbled leather is trash don’t hold no weight at all ijs…..
Also stiff leather does not constitute good leather, point look at all the dunks Nike been pumping out, they smooth leather and stiff, does that make them “quality” by your definition?

 

[frankmatthews]

Never thought I'd see a kate spade purse posted in this thread yet here we are.

My vote is the leather looks trash but I'll reserve final judgement til I see it in person.

 

[bigstick2324]

its for "educational" reasons........

As I said in my post, good quality leather can be super soft or it can be stiff AF. Those Banned 1s do look pretty good, IMO. The bag, IDK. I’ve handled some Kate Spade items, and I have a handful of leather goods from their old men’s line, Jack Spade, from before it was purchased by Liz Claiborne and Andy and Kate exited the business. They’re mostly OK—not amazing and not terrible, either, sort of like Coach.

 

[Nipsey3000]

Lookin goooooood. Shape is admissible IMO.

Shape is definitely manageable...

 

[calye2da]

Wouldn’t have these without y’all NT . Shout out to the dudes who used to post fire pics of these & whoever posted these going on sale on ndc.

But how's the quality of the houndstooth?!?!

Last few pages giving me classic post-SBB AJ1 Thread feels

From Twitter

 

[playaproved]

Based on that twitter pic, I hope I ordered leather for my main overlay. The black suede looking a little faded.

 

[retro fiend]

I should of picked turquoise laces. Does anyone know the exact name of that color option so I can order a pair know
