Any Sneakerheads In The House?

Jordan 312 - Armory Navy

Since going 1/2 down my TTS earlier this year worked out really well on an AJ1, I was curious to try this pair again, and my luck that Nike decided to bring it back.

I'm not big on hybrids (and especially fusions). Usually just a visual mash up without a real direction otherwise. Not sure if it's an accident, but the 312 actually seemed to go somewhere with its chosen elements. Generally speaking, my problem with the Jordan 1 is it runs so low with minimal impact protection, and my problem with the 3 is that the upper+tongue can pinch with some lackluster chunky fit.

Both those problems get fixed this way, but the Jordan 1 is dated, so the eyelet reinforcements and heel overlays from the 3, the added midfoot overlays inspired from the Force STS(?), and the strap from the Alpha Force (which MJ wore for a second) — there's some logic here, and it's all from the '85 through '89 timeframe so it's an interesting hindsight of what Nike could've done with resources at that time to make a basketball shoe

So the cobblers in FL finally shipped back the $350 restoration and sole swap I've been waiting for on my Y2K Jordan 6 Midnights. I will post photos soon. 6 months!!! They told me 6 weeks and I'm a sucker so I paid up front. LOL. UPS Ground takes 6-7 days to get to Cali. Patiently waiting!!! I could buy a brand new set for $500 but they'd probably still crumble when wearing. Since the leather on Jordan 6 was nice back then I think it'll have been worth it if the glue holds!!!
 
Aime Leon Dore x New Balance 550 just came in the door

There's a bit of a pause that comes with this. Goes into my current run of 80's basketball shoes, very nice in person, but I'm not sure I need it. I'm at that point where I've got enough nice enough shoes and it's just no longer a good reason to hold onto stuff.
