Air Jordan 1
Back in July I hit up the Gus Macker in my hometown of Eau Claire, Wisconsin. I wrote about the kicks I saw at Macker, including a beat pair of original jays I bought off a dudes’ feet. With how hard it is to find a pair of ‘85 Mikes in good shape, I decided to take those beaters and bring them back to life! They just needed a lil Love. Check out the before and after pictures above.
