J1s are my favorite silhouette. I understand they’re not everyone’s cup of tea, but as you can see, I absolutely adore them.
I’m still on the hunt for several pairs I missed out on, such as the OW Chicago, 2015 Chicago, L&Fs, Breds, OG Royal, Mocha, LA to Chicago, UNC, Unions Black & Blue toe, and Travis Mocha & Fragment.
The Off-Whites are laced with replacement laces, but I also have the originals. I’m aware that the lettering and placement are off.
I got it VNDS from a reseller here. It’s my most expensive pair, and I don’t think I’ll ever go over budget like that again, unless I stumble on the OW Chicago with an unbelievable price.
I want the 85 Chicagos as a museum piece, but that is my ultimate personal grail.
I ask because the heel cup shape doesn’t look like the typical retail pair I’ve seen. Have you had them legit checked? Heel cup texture, tongue thickness and length, and size tag are often most helpful. Just want to make sure someone didn’t scam you out of your money
