Unless it's white laces in a pair of Black Metallic 5s or the alternate laces that come with certain pairs of 1s, I'll never swap laces. Most lace swaps are ugly. Especially those up there. :sick:
Black/Reds are the Air Jordan 1 to a lot of people though some would say it's the Chicago's. Regardless, the recent '85 OGs that have released are not on par with the Black/Reds in terms of mainstream appeal, so it's hard to use those to gauge how the Reds will do. I'm also a size 13 so my size...

I do agree though that there's a limit...
I used to have the photo saved but cannot find it anymore. I remember it being posted in the 2013 Grape thread but all the images from back then have expired and can't be viewed anymore. Dudes getting matchy matchy with the Grapes was a problem during that release though. Hell I remember seeing...
Fingers crossed that it'll just be another "Industrial Blue" moment where they end up being a non-gimmick, close to OG release. Worst case scenario, it's a reimagined release with a pre-yellowed midsole and white tumbled leather upper.
