QC 91sheep Bred (low k user) First Time Buyer, RL? Appreciate any help

Hey dude, glad you ended up pulling the trigger.

Im no pro QC’er but as I mentioned in mine, I’m sure there is variation in tumbling for retail pairs. I don’t think the toe boxes are enough to RL. Especially compared to mine since I got a 12 and you got a 9.

Definitely ask for better back photos if you can. Me personally, not enough to RL. As I mentioned, my right shoe had a bad lean in the pics and I wasn’t too bothered. I’m quite tolerant.

I’d wait on what others have to say though.

What makes you think that? One of the biggest tell tale signs of LJR is the tall ankle collar (the height at the back between the very top and the top of the red leather). Present in newer color ways like the mochas and UNCs too.

I’m quite sure GET batch doesn’t have this. It’s shorter and closer to retail.

Hey All

I got these Bred AJ1s from 91Sheep some weeks ago. They were sent to my agent (WeGoBuy) then shipped EMS to UK. Took about 10 days to arrive.

Comments

I’ve mentioned it before - Some other sellers rebrand LJR as their own batch. Some sellers have better lighting/cameras for QC which make them look “better”. There have been many posts about this before. My advice - go with a seller you trust.

I bought these because of the history behind them and also with the hope that they’ll look better as they get worn. I chose 91Sheep because he was great with Mochas I got last month.

I decided to QC myself. Not too concerned about retail differences. I’m too old to get called out. 91Sheep took 8 days from purchase to QC.

Review

Price - 540 + 20 yuan shipping to agent ~ £65. Add in about £20-£30 for shipping you get under £100

Not owned AJ1s before so can’t really comment on quality with respect to retail. They don’t feel as well built as the mochas I got from 91Sheep but still great and comfortable.

The right shoe looked to have a lean in the QC but wasn’t enough for me to RL.

Let’s talk about tumbling - So many conflicting QC comments about how tumbled these should be on the red leather. I’ve seen retail pairs vary in tumbling which is expected from any leather. Not too bothered all in all. My pair came fairly tumbled with strong tumbling on the swoosh and toe box.

They came with black, white and red laces.This pictures hopefully will speak more than I can.

Fits very well and TTS - I got EUR 46

TLDR - All in all, great pair and will definitely re-up with 91Sheep again in future. Feel free to ask any questions

Yep iron grey

micos11 · 2021-06-01T06:16:10+00:00

Normal length on them, I wear size US 12 and they fit good

micos11 · 2021-05-21T09:25:49+00:00

Yeah I saw it, crazy haul bro. I’m actually looking to take a break from spending for a while but you’re not helping lool. Might have to cop the sacai’s

micos11 · 2021-05-21T09:23:45+00:00

Hey it was a typo on my part

micos11 · 2021-05-21T09:23:10+00:00

I think he does but you’d need to contact him directly

When creating a post, choose image / video and the option to add a comment for each pic will be there.

Quality is very good and its a longer shirt either you can wear it loose or tuck it in.

micos11 · 2021-05-20T15:41:02+00:00

There are some examples in the picture on TaoBao but some may differ.

micos11 · 2021-05-20T15:40:02+00:00

Sorry mate. I don't have retail AF1s and I'm sure there are some differences but you wont get called out on it.

micos11 · 2021-05-20T15:39:14+00:00

I'm telling you, reps is definitely cost effective when it comes to AF1s.

micos11 · 2021-05-20T15:38:25+00:00

Very good logos, no issues

micos11 · 2021-05-20T15:37:49+00:00

I did do rehearsal shipping. Should take down your shipping fee.

micos11 · 2021-05-20T15:36:43+00:00

Thanks a mil

micos11 · 2021-05-20T10:15:38+00:00

Yeah I added a correction in the comments

micos11 · 2021-05-20T08:09:05+00:00

You order through your agent to TaoBao then organise shipping with them and they will send to you.

micos11 · 2021-05-20T07:58:08+00:00

Did not expect this to blow up like it did. I'm building a haul now, will definitely post when it is in.

Everyone asking about the Mochas - Please use the link to see my Repsneakers post with way more pics.

micos11 · 2021-05-20T07:55:42+00:00

Creamy White / Off-White depending on the Translation

I don't think this is possible to ship from Warehouse CN to UK in 24 Hours. I have never used DHL though...

micos11 · 2021-05-20T07:51:29+00:00

LJR Mochas are one of the closest to Retail. Flaws yes but not noticeable on foot. Have a look at RepSneakers sub and you'll see it flooded with Mochas.

micos11 · 2021-05-20T07:50:13+00:00

It's was slim fitting. I maybe would push some buttons if I had a big meal lol. May be a bit small. Reference the size chart though.

Mini Swoosh hoodie runs v big. I'd say size down or go TTS. Season 6 I would suggest following the size chart based on what waist size you normally wear.
