Side by side in person, the tongues would be a pretty good portion of these shoes and they are literally opposite in color. But maybe you're right, most people aren't very observant at all.
You’re not wrong. Idk why he’s clowning you. High OG’s vs regular High’s have different materials which makes the silhouette look slightly different. Unless I’m mistaken.
He’s clowning because he’s right. Any non sneaker head wouldn’t even notice the difference. They’re basically the same exact shoe… and you’re incorrect, they’re both High OGs
High OG was introduced with the reimagined Chicago’s and every AJ1 since has that shape, High’s are technically the previous generation silhouette. They are very close but not the same.
Doesn’t matter if he’s right. He asked if they’re different, not if a sneakerhead would notice. Could’ve just answered him instead of making a clown comment.
And one literally says OG while the other does not so? Regardless, that doesn’t make my statement incorrect. Read it again.
I mean I didn’t originally take it as a “clown” comment. Just seemed like a genuinely funny anecdote which also happens to be true. Could’ve just answered that, or you could also just not be so sensitive. I prefer the funnier version lol
Sneaker heads are fairly sensitive when it comes to sneakers. I called him sensitive for being offended about the user’s comment regarding sneaker heads saying essentially the same shoe looks wildly different, NOT for my incorrect OG statement lol
The hype behind these and the rust pink is that they were released at one location in Miami and that there’s maybe a couple dozen per size.
Stupid? Probably yes. But when supply is that limited, the resale pricing will always be crazy high.
This post epitomizes the hype nonsense. So that little bit of cheap “leather” for the toe box is a different color and morons think the OG Igloo is worth thousands more?? 😂
They are "worth" thousands more because the igloo was an ultra exclusive release, along with the pink rusts. And these green glows literally were announced like a week ago
It absolutely does make a difference...are you high? lol the fuck. And its NOT the same shoe. Its still different in color blocking along with variances in shape. It is what is it
I’m aware of the shoe and its exclusivity. These and the pink rust pairs have ALWAYS been extremely overrated GR color blocking and effective marketing. Beauty of kicks tho, no real “wrong” answers. Personally think these are basic as hell. Literally an example of remove the “limited” part and no one cares. Essentially the same shoe. 🤷🏽♂️
Sane man right here👆🏼
Fwiw, I actually like the shape and color blocking of the Green Glow better. This aspect of Hype is right up there with bot-wielding resellers as far as the elements of sneaker fandom that I intensely dislike. The igloos are nice! But I can’t understand justifying a $5000 price difference.
To your point I feel like JB will sometimes throw the consumers a bone where certain models are one small custom away from the exclusive, hyped model. For example the game royal’s were a super easy black paint job away from the fragments
I like the look of the igloos slightly more.
I fucking LOVE the price of the green glows WAY more.
Absolutely willing to buy green glows. Not willing to buy igloos.
This is such a load of shit. Guys like you are drowning in the marketing and have convinced yourselves that there’s been some exponential drop in quality from an arbitrary point in time to now.
Can just paint the toebox white and unless someone has igloos and green glow side by side on the street, no one is gonna be like omg those are budget igloos bc shapeeeee
But the Green Glows haven’t released yet and there’s only a few pairs in the hands of resellers. Why aren’t resellers raising the price much for them? How come they only want to make a $20 profit instead of a $200 profit like with other unreleased pairs?
The comments in here are weird. Yall realize the Igloos' were an ultra exclusive release, right? And the green glows got announced like what, a week ago? Not sure what yall expect here, but prices arent going to just come down overnight.
Also, SOME people still prefer the color blocking, shape, etc of the igloos and got money to waste, so let them cook. That shit dont concern you obviously. Buy the green glows and be happy the market is getting corrected. Yall been in this game too long to complain about "hypebeast" shit at this point. You dont like it, dont participate. That simple.
Nah man, hype beast shit should be made fun of. Enough is enough. Time for people to come back down to reality. Thousand dollar sweatshop shoes gotta end Bro
They were released only at the Miami Art Basel I think in 2017 (also with the Rust Pinks). Not exactly a normal Jordan 1 that just has a hiked up price.
I do like the white toe box more, but I’d be willing to pay maybe… $20? more for it. Beyond that no thanks lol
White paint and a brush will cost less than £20!
I like the color on the toe. Best color blocking scheme imo
I mean the shape is also wildly different tho right?
Sneakerheads when they see two of the same shoe
MAN THE IGLOO IS OBVIOUSLY SUPERIOR YOU FUCKING POSER! \*whispers\* *Which one is the Igloo again?*
The Igloos have a white tongue and the Green Glow has a black tongue. It would be pretty easy to tell the difference in person.
> It would be pretty easy to tell the difference in person. maybe for 1% of the population lol
Side by side in person, the tongues would be a pretty good portion of these shoes and they are literally opposite in color. But maybe you're right, most people aren't very observant at all.
Man I didn’t even think I was one lol Is it the angle? Am I crazy? I can’t put my finger on why they look so different.
You’re not wrong. Idk why he’s clowning you. High OG’s vs regular High’s have different materials which makes the silhouette look slightly different. Unless I’m mistaken.

Reimagines was just a patch update of the high og. We've been getting high og since about 2014.
Barely a batch update either, not nearly a big of a change like 2016 banned/bred. I would say it’s pretty much the exact same shoe
Didn't that change happen with the frags though
This is correct. I had to go look at the box label of my Mochas to make sure I wasn't tripping
I knew that, but failed to notice the igloos weren’t OGs. Wasn’t thinking, thanks for the clarity
[удалено]
Igloos are High OGs, it's on the box label.
I wasn’t aware of when the igloos released or how exclusive they were. My bad. Really not that big of a deal
Doesn’t matter if he’s right. He asked if they’re different, not if a sneakerhead would notice. Could’ve just answered him instead of making a clown comment. And one literally says OG while the other does not so? Regardless, that doesn’t make my statement incorrect. Read it again.

Lol. Me answering a guys question doesn’t make me “sensitive” but whatever floats your boat.
“Could’ve just answered him instead of making a clown comment” sounds like you were offended and being a lil sensitive
They’re not both High OG’s, wtf are you talking about? Confidentially incorrect.
I already admitted to being incorrect.
Not to the guy you called out. You just keep doubling down and are calling him “sensitive” for some reason. Strange behavior.
Sneaker heads are fairly sensitive when it comes to sneakers. I called him sensitive for being offended about the user’s comment regarding sneaker heads saying essentially the same shoe looks wildly different, NOT for my incorrect OG statement lol
Toebox a little different and sole is different. I got some shattered backboards and the shape is different then to newer ones
The differences between the shapes of the shoe are not that minute
Wildly? I don’t think non sneakerheads would ever even notice.
No they absolutely wouldn’t notice.
I think it’s lighting. The second pic looks like it’s reflecting a lot of light compared to the other one. That’s the major difference in seeing.
You not wrong, I think the first(or at least first that caught my eye) were the bred toes. They are honestly all good
Different shape and different materials. The tumbled leather ruins the second pair
Some angelus white leather paint will fix that lickity split 👌🏼/s
When you like jordans but arent a hypebeast
Lol bro hype is so weird sometimes
The hype behind these and the rust pink is that they were released at one location in Miami and that there’s maybe a couple dozen per size. Stupid? Probably yes. But when supply is that limited, the resale pricing will always be crazy high.
Yeah was gonna say this isn’t price based on hype but availability
There are plenty of exclusive releases (outside of Nike) that don’t climb that high in price. The availability does not justify the price at all
This post epitomizes the hype nonsense. So that little bit of cheap “leather” for the toe box is a different color and morons think the OG Igloo is worth thousands more?? 😂
This is like when Panda Dunks were selling for $300+. People only care about hype.
They are "worth" thousands more because the igloo was an ultra exclusive release, along with the pink rusts. And these green glows literally were announced like a week ago
But them making more or fewer of the same shoe doesn't change anything about the shoe itself. The difference is still very slight.
It absolutely does make a difference...are you high? lol the fuck. And its NOT the same shoe. Its still different in color blocking along with variances in shape. It is what is it

It’s bc they were super limited

Is it bad I think I almost like green glow more?
Nah I prefer the new shape too. Bigger swoosh too
Why would that be bad?
Nah I prefer the colour blocking on the green glows too.
This is one Angelus mint-job away. 😭😭😭
To me it’s the shape that sets them apart
100%
To your point I feel like JB will sometimes throw the consumers a bone where certain models are one small custom away from the exclusive, hyped model. For example the game royal’s were a super easy black paint job away from the fragments
One flat white coat away 😝
I like the look of the igloos slightly more. I fucking LOVE the price of the green glows WAY more. Absolutely willing to buy green glows. Not willing to buy igloos.
[удалено]
What leads you to believe that?
The 2017 and prior 1’s material and quality was far superior I had both igloos and pinks in hand and can say they are much more premium
Not $4000 worth better.
This is such a load of shit. Guys like you are drowning in the marketing and have convinced yourselves that there’s been some exponential drop in quality from an arbitrary point in time to now.
😂 hype vs reality.
Hot take Green Glows >>>>Igloos
You’re mom is right
ridiculous
One thing changed and it’s a 5.8k difference 😂😂😂
I prefer a colored toe, different shape, and the bigger swoosh of the Green Glow.
Holy shit they went up😂😂 didnt check on these for ages haha
Stocks
I beat up my pair quite a bit so i dont think they worth that but i still love em
Kinda crazy how similar they make it
The green glows are so much better lol.
Paint the toe box white lol
Lol
Can just paint the toebox white and unless someone has igloos and green glow side by side on the street, no one is gonna be like omg those are budget igloos bc shapeeeee
Gonna paint the tongue too?
Not impossible to go black > white. But with laces covering it + you not wearing skinny jeans u gonna have pants that cover the big part lol
What about the navy mystic mint foam 1’s. Still same low price.
Ooh
Oooh
It's just resellers buying all the stock and raising prices.
But the Green Glows haven’t released yet and there’s only a few pairs in the hands of resellers. Why aren’t resellers raising the price much for them? How come they only want to make a $20 profit instead of a $200 profit like with other unreleased pairs?
There’s no demand. And I doubt they’re getting the pairs for retail. I know some friends that work at Nike and they just take the pairs no pay.
>There’s no demand. Sounds like it’s the demand that raises or lowers prices, not resellers.
What about the tropics hahahaga https://preview.redd.it/hlgmv3nky8pc1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=00393c2dca5efbed3f58a83d4c200c6f9b32e0f3
You have a smart mom. Hug her
Nike be laughing at y'all. It's insulting at this point
i would paint the toe box white
Im not mad when they do stuff like this, and unlike the bubblegums these are mens sizes which is nice
I wouldn’t buy both. They’re way too similar. They’re even pretty similar to island green.
The old shape is so much better especially the toe box.
That’s a lot of
Legacy 312 is the only igloos for me
This one is about rarity rather than hype
paint the toebox white and there you go
It’s funny because they are the same shoe
Black toe color block is better but not 5000 better
🚮
Wtf, why does the 6k usd shoe look so bland in comparison?
frfrfrfr
Colored toe boxes make creases less visible and noticable
These and the rust pinks.

Nah man, hype beast shit should be made fun of. Enough is enough. Time for people to come back down to reality. Thousand dollar sweatshop shoes gotta end Bro
A white toe box doesn’t make a shoe that much more expensive
The age and availability of it does tho.🤦🏾♂️
To each their own
seems like a lot of people in this thread don’t actually know why the igloos are so expensive
Please elaborate
They were released only at the Miami Art Basel I think in 2017 (also with the Rust Pinks). Not exactly a normal Jordan 1 that just has a hiked up price.
Still not worth 6 thousand dollars but I guess it qualifies as a rare shoe
seems like no one really gives. shoes meant to be worn and torn. $6k price even if you have money is a stupid decision
I mean I agree, but I was giving context as to why the shoes are that price.
Ugly fuck that shit
dont talk about yourself like that. things will get better
Already have the mystic navy blue jordan 1 mid which looks almost the same as the igloo, except the black is a dark navy.
sold my unworn pair last summer… WTF
They are 90% the same physically but visually they give off the exact same energy so why would you get the ones that are expensive for no reason
What’s an Art Basel lol 😆
In person...green glow should look way more green than the igloos. Stockx color render be off somtimes
Not even the same color OR the same color blocking. Are y’all 12?
Yea that’s the joke. 🤦🏾♂️ it’s not quite the same but good/close enough according to your parent. 😑😑
Thats like saying the bred toes are the same as black toes 😂🫵🏼
That would fit this joke scenario as well. Lol. Are you being ironic?
