Air Jordan 1 White/Black Retro vs. OG Comparison
As promised yesterday in our Throwback Thursday article, we have a detailed Retro vs. OG comparison of the Air Jordan 1.
The White/Black Air Jordan 1 returns for the first time in 23 years in the 22/1 Countdown Package. Though we were told that the shoes went back to having a high cut, well, so close but not quite as you can see to the right. There are a few other minuscule differences between the retro and the original, but they definitely should not be enough to hold you back from grabbing a classic pair of Air Jordans. A bit of a disclaimer, we threw in some black laces to replace the stock white threads to give it a more original feel. Take a tour of the two shoes in the official retro vs. OG comparison after the jump. |
Throwback Thursday: Air Jordan 1 Black/White
This week’s Throwback Thursday could be no other than the original Air Jordan 1 in Black/White. Twenty-Three years after its initial release in 1985, the shoe will return this weekend in the Countdown Pack along with the Air Jordan 22.
Of course, like with any shoe, nothing is like the original. There are a few differences between the original and the retro that comes out this weekend, but you will need to tune in tomorrow to see the comparison. For now, enjoy the original Air Jordan 1 after the jump. |
Throwback Thursday: Adidas Rivalry Low
With Pat Ewing’s much deserved induction into the Hall of Fame last weekend it was the perfect time to pull out one of his signature shoes from way back when. The Adidas Rivalry was essentially the cheaper, team model of the Adidas Conductor that came in a ton of colorways back in 1986. The shoes used the same outsole and almost exactly the same upper minus the Ewing logo on the tongue, but for Ewing fans looking for low tops, this was the only route to take.
These, like all of Ewings shoes with Adidas, were manufactured with the highest quality in France. One can only imagine what these sneakers would cost today if the same quality of materials were used as well as French labor to construct the product. Some lucky individual was able to grab these from a store called “First Quality” for the bargain price of $19.99. Sad to say, the days of finding “slept on butters” (shout out to Bobbito) is nearly over, but it is always worth your while to take a quick scan at the clearance section The Adidas Conductor came back this year and the Metro Attitudes are on their way, but the Rivalry currently is not in the pipeline to return at this moment. Adidas, please, bring back the only other Ewing sneaker. More shots of these shoes after the jump. |
