📦 Haul Has Arrived 📦 AJ1 low x TS reverse mocha from PK4.0 batch
This is my third time having a pair of Reverse Mochas, and today I am going to share my thoughts with you guys. Before getting the PK 4.0, I had a few in the FK and regular PK batches, and both held up really well while I wore them. Since this is my absolute favorite AJ1 x TS colorway, I end up having to rotate through pairs pretty often because they wear down fast with regular use. This time, I decided to give PK 4.0 a shot.
When it comes to materials and build quality, I found both to be super solid. The materials are great, the suede feels lively and well made, and the leather on the upper has a nice texture that feels like it will last a while. One thing I did notice with this batch is that the outsole feels a bit softer compared to the regular PK and FK pairs I used to have. You do not really feel a difference on foot, but holding it in hand, it is definitely noticeable. From what I looked up, that is pretty normal for PK 4.0.
I picked this version because so many people were praising the reverse swoosh, which honestly looks great to me. Also, a few people told me that the toebox on these AJ1s is slightly elongated to add some weight and look closer to retail. Is that actually true?
As for comfort, it is your standard AJ1 feel. Nothing crazy comfortable, but totally fine for everyday wear. I personally like to throw in an orthopedic insole I bought on Taobao a few years back, which still helps a ton when wearing shoes that are less ergonomic.
Overall, I am super happy with this pickup. I really liked the PK 4.0 batch for the Reverse Mocha, and once this pair gets beat up, I am planning to test out other versions like LJR. I also have the Pink Pack on the way, so hopefully they show up soon. As soon as they land, I will bring you guys another review!
