There are definitely better pairs in quality in my opinion. The Obsidians and Crimson tint 1s come to mind. The actual shoe may crease easily but the actually feeling of those shoes are A1
How can you tell synthetic leather from real leather? I've seen you mention raw edges several times. I checked because i only wear leather shoes unless they're my running/training. All my leather shoes have raw edges, chucks, vans, aj1 low ogs, boots, all except my 2020 reverse bred lows. They have a hard, rounded edge. Does that mean they are synthetic leather? I don't care much for this pair, but i'm afraid i just paid a lot of resale cost for 85 varsity reds and they won't have raw edges either. Can anyone who owns 85 varsity reds confirm?
The Retro OG Sail / University Red aka "Premium Essentials" leather is better than the Shattered Backboards simply because all the leather of the Sails (except for the swoosh) is as good a quality if not better than the Shattered Backboards (which have some high quality leather on parts and crap on others).
I disagree with that. While that leather is nice it's just oddly laminated almost. If you look once it wears, there is an artificial layer above the main. Nothing wrong with that leather tho- I'd like to see more
Definitely has the look and feel of premium out of the box but that tumbling/grain is artificial which concerns me for longevity. It's like the bred toes- out of the box they looked so premium but after wearing them and the leather getting tossed around a bit, the true quality of the leather seemed to come through.
Hello man, i just discovered this channel amazing list I've always considered the pinnacles better than the shattered backboards, most people don't realize they sell us leather shoes with a coating on top, and shatter backboards havea nice coating but not even close to the vacchettas.. By the way another not very loved model but that in my opinion has a quality enough to make the list is the jordan 1 comme des garcons ..super underrated, and i believe that the new diors have to be at the top of this list.. Although the cdg feel softer.. But once again i have to remember the coating.. Have you seen the cdg of the diors? What do you think?
Anytime someone relates creasing to Quality, completely disregard not you but in general I'm speaking . Also important to keep in mind every air Jordan retro 1 is like 13 bucks factory produced and sent back here to the states ... Ones that come to mind that ARENT GOOD that people lose their mind over are the Shitter Backboard 1s there still a 13.00$ pair . I'm sorry it's not quality . Love your content man !!! Keep it up
The 2016 Bred 1s are almost as good as the 2015 SBBs in my opinion, their the only two pairs in my collection that have that softness to the touch, my 2018 Shadow 1s are super soft but also but different.
my left ear loves this audio
my right one doesnt :(
😂
I thought my earphones were broken
😂😂😂
The shadow 2018 is underrated. Even the black leather on the shadow is smooth when you touch
So what’s your knowledge on leather? You just picked random sneakers without any justification lol
What do you think about the leather on the recent High 85 black and white ?
Great video, but the audio is really wack for some reason.
2013 breds, shadow and royals are actually top quality cuts. Every panel is consistent and frayed. People always drive me crazy cuz they dont see it.
The first ones are really unique, masterpiece! 35 years and the world changed forever AJ1 1985
Best leather of ALL Jordan’s list 💯
I agree 100% with the 94's. I have a pair and can't believe how well they were made.
People sleep on them and they're missing out. Name another retro that develops that wear in such a sexy way- Ill wait.
What kind of leather did they use on the 1985 Chicago
Came from a bull which Michael Jordan haunted and skinned himself.
i’m really curious if the actual j1s x off white or those af1 x louis vuitton have better or worst leather than those vintage jordans

I made a trade on Tradeblock for the crimsons not knowing much about them and was super stoked on them after seeing the leather quality
marbled leather ≠ quality

i cant tell in photos, they kinda look rounded nooo :(
Where would you rank the ship out of these? Thanks man
Higher- I would say at 3 easily.

jordan sail for sure the best
What donyou think of the 01 japan exclusives the all white and all black ones?
What is your opinion about the unc to chi 1s leather release? Dope video

So the Chicago 94s leather is different from the bred 94s?

Is the New Beginnings Jordan 1 leather any different than the reverse bred leather?
Ever so slightly. The reverse bred seemed to be stiffer out of the box.
The jordan 1 craft has a full grain leather
what about the diors
New subscriber
I agree!! The quality leather in og 1985 still amazing!
Where do you rank the UNC to Chi women’s that just came out
The obsidian 1s have rlly good leather on the side panel that can be compared to Travis 1s and SBBs ngl
The 2016 Bred 1s are almost as good as the 2015 SBBs in my opinion, their the only two pairs in my collection that have that softness to the touch, my 2018 Shadow 1s are super soft but also but different.
Dope hoodie 👍
I'll have some of these available (and tees) on the85project.com this week.
my favorite jordan 1s are the lucky green
Blood line had really nice leather
Here's the Top Five Jordans. Starting with Number 7.
And there is a tie, so it's a list of how not to do a list.
It's okay munchkin, just cry your heart out. 😂
It's okay snowflake, just cry your hear out. 😂
I don't get it. How, over 35 years, did JB's leather quality only ever get worse? They got it right the first time then never again?
Levi Johnson it’s cus they knew they could sucker us out of our money by using cheaper materials
@@yoopdoop9874 lol not much of a capitalist yourself I'm assuming?
Levi Johnson hey I mean it’s true. I’m not super angry at it but at the end of the day it’s just how it is
One word: Greed.
@@Leviajohnson cause people only bought 1pair if shoes per year back then now people buy several per year . PS yoop fool is right
idk man the Union ones are both amazing leather quality.
Dior Jordan 1, is the best quality jordan 1 EVER
Shattered backboards really don’t have top quality leather tbh
Agreed
What about the Black history month Jordan 1 07, And the laser 1s, The leather on both are crazy
Super dope hella yea them pinnacle have one of the best leather
Yo enyone else pissed by the audio ?
If nike made an aj1 OG leather re-issue and price it for $200 or less, that's when i will know that God does exist.
NFR, Unions, Gatorade pack, Sail and the hyper royal Jordan one's are all better than the sbb in my opinion.🤷♂️
That's tough. The only gripe I have on the leather they use on those is it appears to be layered. Def high quality though!
Fucking great video boys!
1994 black and red over the 2011s the X mark and entire shape is way off !!
We got Dior 1s now
I’m afraid homie doesn’t actually know anything about leather😂 it’s just the shoe he likes
Pinnacle jordan 1's. Every color except the black or white ones
I'd put the turbo greens in the list.
Delete the video mate it’s stupid the audio
I bet all of these shoes are actually the same exact quality😂
