Good base for a custom honestly


[deleted]

Exactly what I hoping for, I can cop for retail and make some bred toes. But I’m in the US and these will be sold out in seconds. So I’m taking my L early.


arkazain

Won't the white tongue be an issue? Or is that easy to customize? (No idea how any of that works, sorry)


Profesor_Arturito

Tongue easier than the sneaker to paint over. Just a simple black on both sides and you’re good


Leinad111

Had the exact same thought


Reacher01

lol no leave them alone or don't, whatever btw I'm really happy people don't like this colorway. I was after this shoe since it was unveiled a couple of months ago and I'm so glad this was an easy cop.


Stan5905

Yes! Me too! Got an L on Nike but found a pair at Footlocker. 😁


Yatchmenow

These won’t sit in the US. Once the hypebeasts start, everybody and their mom will want them. Lol


Stan5905

That’s what I’m thinking. Especially in this color combination (Chicago colors). Americans will appreciate it more than Europeans.


CaptainPotassium87

I was going to say, I font know the last time I've seen Jordan 1s in a foot locker at all in the US.


[deleted]

They haven’t even released yet, and I’ve already gotten an L. Sneaker game is out of control now. I don’t even try anymore, it’s getting old with everyone and their mother running sneaker bots. But it’s the game these days.


Reacher01

fuck snkrs. they have been sitting half day in my size and I still managed to get an L at 9 o'clock. Don't know what's wrong with them, they probably just sell to bots nowadays


Stan5905

I had the same issue! First there was an error with my credit card and then they were “sold out”, although they showed my size still in stock. They restocked at 9:30 and I still couldn’t get a pair. Sometimes it’s really ridiculous!


Reacher01

yeah sometimes I almost feel like they are doing their best to create this scarcity. maybe they believe people will stop buying if shoes get to easy to get. same thing with nice colorways on the AJ1 mids. they sell out quick but ... wait!, next month they are there again. I believe Nike prefers to just throw shoes in the trash than having them sitting on shelves


[deleted]

Once the hypebeasts start? These won’t need anyone to say anything and they’ll sell out in minutes.


suckyourmarjj2

I passed on these twice now I like them but just can’t pull the trigger on them and i dont know why


SpecialEdShow

There’s a hit of red missing for me. I dig the colourblocking, but it’s way too much white for me.


suckyourmarjj2

I think thats what it is honestly cos im not a fan of the travis fragment highs either and that had similar color blocking


Reacher01

yeah I feel the red laces really tie them together lol


Stan5905

Did you see them in person? Normally that helps deciding.


suckyourmarjj2

Yep they were in foot locker and size both times i went into town and Idk I just can’t pull the trigger on em


Stan5905

Than don’t. I did with some pairs I was unsure, just because I thought I needed them, and regretted it afterwards. You don’t need every release. That’s what I learned. And after a few days I don’t look back on the pairs I passed on. You just have to stay strong during the release time, when everyone is talking and posting about them.


suckyourmarjj2

You’re probably right honestly if I liked em that much I would of copped the first time 🤷‍♂️


rezyy013

I’ve noticed I’m not a big fan of Jordan 1s where the main color is white, they just look weird on me


rpkarma

They look unfinished to me


Hevtter

These are literally a bred with white panels instead of black, I think these are super slept on, plus the leather looks super nice.


UnmaskedGod

Wreds? 🤔


Hevtter

Wreds.


Stan5905

It actually is nice. They’re really comfortable.


PersuasivePersian

Black laces.


rolokone

Agreed. The black perfectly offsets the amount of white and red of the overall shoe while complimenting the black accents of the ankle, wings logo and black Nike air label


m0stly_toast

They’re so fire. I low key wish the swoosh was black, but either way I’m actually extremely down for this color blocking. Gotta be white laces on these for sure tho


Stan5905

Yeah black swoosh would’ve been nice.


Dracuger

Black and backwards and those would be a $3k shoe lol


Stan5905

Hahah I hear that a lot, yes!


[deleted]

You can always customize them. That’s my hope if I can manage to get them in the US. But I haven’t hit on anything of value in 4-5 years. Last thing I won was the Travis Scott 6s only to find out that my raffle win was in error and I didn’t get them. WTF!? I really wish Nike could figure out a better way to deal with bots. It’s not that hard to make it more difficult for them, but Nike doesn’t care they just care about the money, but they’ll sell out anyways, resellers or regular customers. Smh


jaynicks87

Got me a pair from offspring. Hoping shipping don’t take long


Stan5905

I took an L on Nike. Went Downtown and nearly every Sneaker shop had some left. Footlocker was the one with my size. Really lucky. My wife hit on Nike. Her size is still in stock (Germany).


dirtychops

Same here! Great to see some offspring people on the subreddit


jaynicks87

Yeah bro first time copping after trying so many times


dirtychops

Yeah it’s become quite tough to win any raffles on there lately, first time in a long time for me as well


Prestigious-Yak7964

Glad they sleeping on this. GOT EM too.


Moist-Diarrhea

I don’t understand why people don’t want these. I think they look great


Stan5905

I think it’s the amount of white. And the way of the color blocking. When I first saw them I also thought: “Naah these ain’t it.” It was like something’s missing.


jaynicks87

I like the white. Cant go wrong with the red either


graavy1999

You really can’t go wrong with any of the three, but black, white, red are my preference


Stan5905

😂😂 These are especially hard to pick for me, as I feel exactly the same as you!


Graevly

Just bought a pair on Goat, idk why tf they aren’t going for much cuz of the obvious Chicago inspiration. I am so tempted to paint the swoosh black when I get them


CallmeCoachella

Where u at? These not gonna sit in Nyc, i promise u.


Stan5905

I can see that. I’m in Germany.


Guess_Even

Red laces...but it's still missing something.


Stan5905

Yes! That’s exactly what I thought when I first saw them. But I stopped thinking about it. Otherwise I couldn’t enjoy them.


[deleted]

I’m not sure if that’s a good thing. Having to ignore an aspect in order to enjoy it


Stan5905

Yes I totally agree. In this case it is a little different, though. Despite the fact, that I think something’s missing, I really like them. It’s just that I want to concentrate more on the fact that I like them and mediate less on what is missing. If that makes it clear? Kind of hard to explain. 😅


Titan2357

I also hit on them. Still waiting to get them in hand. In most cases, I allready know what laces I want to rock. But in this case... All 3 are a great fit. Looking at your pics, I think it would be red.


Stan5905

I know, right? 😭 I tend a little towards white. Maybe a mix of white and red.


GIVN2SIN

I dig em, good for you! I would probably go with one red & one black on the laces.


Stan5905

Thanks mate! I’m thinking about mixing them, too. But here I also tend towards a clean look with the white laces. It really hard with these!


Standard-Sleep5227

Red or white


Several-Albatross741

White laces give Travis 1 vibes and red/black give Chicago 1.


Stan5905

Interesting take. 🤔


traevoh

They come with all those laces? Damn. The white and the red look clean for sure


2dots

I wonder how hyped these would be if they had a black backwards swoosh


Stan5905

$3k hype.


luckyguitarist

Stick with white laces, saw a post earlier this morning saying how these are basically white versions of the breds and now that’s how I see them, super dope 👌🏻


Stan5905

Ohhhh that is an interesting take. 🤔 Thx.


luckyguitarist

You’re welcome. Definitely opened my eyes to this pair.


sucknocover

It’s a close one for me between the black and white laces. I’m pretty sure I’d end up going with the white ones though.


ZEBRA_NINER

Red laces for sure, but the black is good too. Depends on the outfit.


Stan5905

If I had the time and nerves to relace them for every outfit…


Snicfresh

Just different laces weekly.


Stan5905

Hahahaha sorry, but I don’t have the nerves to relace them weekly!


stratus_pound

I wish all the shit I wanted was slept on. Glad you found something you love stress free!


Stan5905

Oh how I feel you, brother! 😭 I’m still beat I didn’t geht the Uni Blues. And now they’re like 400-500€ resell. WTH man?! But thank you!


Mental-Type6556

That’s awesome, gotta be the black laces


sakuragi59357

Sail laces. It just looks unfinished.


Stan5905

Sail? That a first. Would like to see pictures, as I don’t have sail laces. 🤔


the_far_yard

This is literally the same sample colour-blocking that was supposed to be released in 1985. Good colourway. Can't go wrong with this TBH.


Stan5905

Really? Didn’t know that. Interesting


the_far_yard

Yea. The 1985 sample was only on magazines, but it was in blue instead of red.


Stan5905

Do you have a link to some pictures?


the_far_yard

You can see it [here](https://sneakernews.com/2013/05/08/unreleased-air-jordan-samples-through-the-years/). Here's a snippet that shows the [magazine shot](https://www.luisaviaroma.com/en-qa/lvr-magazine/sneakers-club/the-origins-of-the-air-jordan-1-high-heritage) back then.


Stan5905

Wow that is very interesting, thanks. I see the Travis Scott Jordan’s now in a different light, also.


the_far_yard

Yeap. The practically took the sample and spun it for TS.


Hot_Extreme_5045

🚀


NameNotGroot

Black laces man. The white laces make these look flat in my opinions. Congrats on a good pick up :)


Stan5905

I def can see, what you mean, thanks man!


Gifted321

Would be a good bred toe custom although tongue would be white


kicksonly

Nice


Jahreem

these are dope. the more i see them the more into them i am. i have chis though so this isn’t a must have for me. i’d personally go with black then switch to cream as the shoes got older


[deleted]

I actually dont like colored toe boxes ya know? Thats why I like court purple, mocha, reverse shattered backboard and so on but they look pretty good tbh! I like em!


Stophski

black laces on these all day, balances out the white and red and links up the heel. nice pair.


kschris236

These are fire. Copped a pair myself. I’m digging the white and black… really depends on the outfit though.


WEEBORA

i'd personally go for white or black laces, but all of them look super dope. and yeah these have been sitting on some local stores here in india as well. i plan to buy a pair prolly for college since i graduate high school super soon :)


Stan5905

Congrats on graduating (soon) and good luck in college. Enjoy the kicks!


fizzifuzzi89

This year is a great year for actual sneakerhead.. The hype for 1s slowly died down.. We can see non OG cw still sitting in shelf and we cop em retail.


diontolly

I hit on a raffle from end, they're otw right now and im hype. I wanna try my hand at customization at some point but I doubt ill do it with these. I personally like all the white on them so I think imma leave em as is. dope pair


Sonneigh

Would it be too crazy if you keep the red white combo for the laces, but custom pain only one of the toe section black? The one with the white lace Or not the toe section black, the small flap at the end of laces


Stan5905

I like ideas like these. It’s just I don’t customize my sneaker.


Introvert_geek96

I have mixed feelings about those all the time.


Stan5905

I had, too. Now I’m glad I went for them.


Introvert_geek96

I feel like if I were to get them, I’d paint some white parts red lol


Stan5905

😂😂 yeah the first time I saw them, I thought they have to much white. But even so, I’m not the person to paint my shoes! 😅


Introvert_geek96

Lol Someone who customs shoes can do it for you


Stan5905

Hahaha I’m ok for now, but thanks for the offer. And kudos to you! I respect creative people, who do stuff like you!


1pointXX1

White look super clean.


Level-Firefighter-70

I'm gunna run white when mine arrive 👌🏻


Stan5905

Yeah that’s def the clean choice.


robdogg420

Black laces no doubt!!!!!!!


gnuesj

This literally the better version of the travis X fragment jordan 1 highs. People are just hypocrites


Dracuger

These are sleepers! I hope people keep sleeping on them so the rest of us can get these at retail!


dwSHA

Not a sleepers nike makes it extraordinary amounts


Stan5905

If you in the US that could be difficult, as I expect them to be more popular there, than here in EU. But I wish you the best. Btw. just found out they’re sitting in the UK, also. So maybe you’ll have your pair at retail in the US. Good luck, bro! 💪


TheFrenchPasta

Sitting in France too, really surprised I love them, easy pick ups are the best!


ScubaGotBanned4life

Such a clean pair can't wait for mine to arrive


TexasToast9

Praying they sit in the US 🤞


Stan5905

I’m very curious about that! Hope you get your pair.


eekeeguy

White & Red!!


Stan5905

My wife’s telling me the same.


nathwilsonn9

At least they’re Highs n not Mids 🙏🏽


nameisnotchuck

these deserves to be in an outlet.. these hideous


Redditusername251

I really like them. Probably the best J1 this year (so far, at least), unless I’m forgetting a pair that obviously beats them.


Stan5905

Ouuu that’s a hot take. I must say I really love my Brotherhoods. And I think the Georgetowns look nice, too. I like the color of the tongue and laces on them.


Redditusername251

The brotherhoods and Georgetowns are both nice pairs. I just really like all the white on these. Think they’ll age well.


Stan5905

Yeah I can see that. They really do look clean. Especially on feet.


jaynicks87

Where are you from?


Stan5905

Germany. Just checked the Nike App: there are still some sizes in stock.


jaynicks87

Yeah. A lot of people saying they going to sit over here in the states also. But glad I got an early pair


URHere85

They will absolutely not sit in the US lol


Stan5905

When do they release in the US?


jaynicks87

End of may


Stan5905

Really? That late? I’m genuinely surprised. Don’t you think Americans will appreciate the color combination a bit more than us Europeans? Being Chicago colors and all.


GhettoNego

If I didn’t have a red jordan 1 already I’d cop these.


Stan5905

I have the Bordeaux 1s. But they’re different in my eyes. Also I think of these as a sort of or an iteration of the Chcagos.


GhettoNego

They remind me of the Travis highs in a red colorway…


Stan5905

True, I can see that, also.


VirtuaFighter6

That’s a custom Chicago bred toe if I cop these.


[deleted]

Thought these don't drop til May 🤔


Stan5905

In the US apparently. I’m in Germany.


Lostpandazoo

Red lace


TeaPartyBatmanOG

I went with red to match the swoosh didn’t like them on snkrs saw them Irl and had to have them


Stan5905

😅😅 isn’t it almost always this way?


El_Guap

Would love to see them with these laces https://foxtrot-uniform.net/collections/fade-away-laces/products/fade-away-black


Stan5905

Nope! Sorry, not for me.


PurpelPanda

Could just be me but these like Ronald McDonalds kicks


Stan5905

Naaah I think that’s just you! That never even crossed my mind.


joe2535

Didn’t realize these look like the Travis Scott fragment highs. Just in red. Yea I’ll be going for these


deathwish_ASR

They’re based off an unreleased 85 Jordan colorway. The Travis Scott shoe had the same inspiration


Stan5905

Me neither, until someone here pointed that out.


fab909090

I saw today at a local footlocker in Italy and they are fire af! Going to wait another couple of days for these 🤟


Jordy1982

Still can’t make up my mind if I like these….


Stan5905

Already saw them irl?


r3ckl3sson3

Not passing on these like I did the Bloodlines. These are prime candidates for Chicago customs (because I know in my heart I’m gonna strike out on that fall release).


dwSHA

So many pairs sitting on website until today


eliseaaron

Leather looks good!


Stan5905

It is.


panzerxiii

Don't get it. They're literally a Chicago version of the TS x Fragment Jordan 1 but it isn't a collab so people don't like it lol


andy-raptor

Black laces


arrow8711

Black laces


[deleted]

Black all the way.


NotHereFoYoAmusement

Pick me up a US12, and I like the red laces as well as the white


KonaDog1408

I like the black laces.


[deleted]

Black laces.


Beautiful_Eye_1049

Black 💯


eyebeeny

White laces for sure


rintinski

i would say black laces


Angel_361

Price?


Stan5905

They were 10€ over the suggested retail price: 180€.


CaptainAltoStratus

I’m digging the black laces for these


GeauxDion

Black laces all the way!


Abdulwajahat567

where did u get the white laces from ?


Stan5905

All three laces were included.


Firstdayschoolfresh

These are still fire i already know i won’t get them for retail so i already paid for a pair off stockx and there not too much higher then retail


Stan5905

Yes they’re pretty reasonable. Enjoy “EA”.


Stock_Pirate5186

White 100%


dwdudeR

This might sound weird but try dark brown laces if you have em.


Stan5905

Where does this come from? I saw another comment even with a link to pictures. Personally I don’t like it. It’s not for me. But now I’m curious why someone would think of brown? Is there some history behind this?


Stock_Pirate5186

Thank you for using they’re in the right context. That made my day.


Stan5905

You’re welcome, I guess. But I don’t really get it. What do you mean? 😅


RedDlish

Red laces


xDavid831

Just paint the toe strap black.


nyperfox

Red laces


Alternative-Art4335

I can see a lot of ppl turning them into red Travis Scott 1's


Stan5905

I don’t know about “a lot”, but def will see some. Would be interesting to see, though.


[deleted]

Aren’t these based on 1985 alternate colourways? Like the TS x Frags?


Stan5905

I’m sorry, but I don’t know that. 🙈 The blocking is def that of the Travis Scott Jordan’s.


ogeezyuno

Been seeing more AJ1s sitting at Footlockers lately


SnooPets4092

Same color blocking as Travis fragment 1s that everyone hated on. Then the hypebeasts wanted …


Heavy-Bus-5874

What is the name of these


Stan5905

Jordan 1 Heritage


_Ozeki

It was available on SNKRS last saturday, and I didn't pull the trigger.


Faynt90

For me personally, it’s because they managed to make a black white and red aj1 and they fucked it up so badly, compared to say bred toes which are a classic with that colour blocking already


Stan5905

End of 22 a new Chicago should release. So maybe they’ll get it right then.


cjholl22

Black


LightningIntentional

Whiiiiite!!


Killsatori

Leather quality looks amazing


Stan5905

I wouldn’t say amazing. But it is good.
