I don't like the 2015's because they are different. A duplicate is a simple concept and especially the inner red and slanted back are a let down. Great Post Thanks
When you mentioned the width of the collars, the 2015 is wider because you didn't have it laced up. If they were laced up, the collar would go inwards.
the thing I never liked about the 94's (I got them in '94 I was 16) was the toe. The red leather was way too wide, doesnt look like the 85's at all but they copied the 85's in other ways thats better than any release afterwards. The best retro ever is the 94 Jordan 3. That one was very close to the original 88, and no release after comes close to being as original. I have those too, but arent in as good of shape as they were my favorite shoes in 94 I wore them a lot. I had the 85's in 1985, but was a kid and tore them all up and they were thrown away within a couple years. I have pictures of me in them though with my Jordan warm up shirt so its always fun to look back. I really wish when they retro something, they would literally make it exactly the same but it doesnt seem possible.
Thanks for the video I got a pair of 2015's and my step brother keeps on telling me that they are fakes. Due to this video I can see the similarities between mine and yours and can tell that they aren't. So thank you
Thanks for taking the time for the raffles and vids. Makes me feel better since I struck out but at least I get your detailed review and comparisons. 👍
How's the fit on the 94-95 chicagos? I'm a size 14 in modern Jordan retros but I was curious about these. A size 14 is like 5k where a size 13 is 2k so if I could I'd love to fit in a 13 but something tells me they run small. Thanks for your help and have a great day!
Original AJ 10s for me run true to size. Going down a half size meant sacrificing comfort. I haven’t had issues with modern retros although everyone’s foot is different.
Wish I could have gotten a pair, but the only pair of 1's I want are black/red's. Never owned a pair of any Jordan 1 Hi's in any OG colorway. To add on to your reasoning of why the Chicago 1's are unlaced, I believe I read somewhere that it is an ode to MJ's last game at MSG. *To anyone that weren't alive during that time, that is reading this comment, MJ received a DS unlaced pair of Chicago 1's, which he wore in-game, in 1998 before his last game against the NY Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
Thanks for your great comparison video. If you don't mind me asking: is the 2015 back not straight up from the side and wider (collar) from the back only because they are unlaced compared to the other 2 versions (85's and 95's)??? When you lace up the 15's the back will loose the curve and the collar tighten. Ps. Love your videos tho 😉
Nah the 2015 is definitely slanting at the heel. I also have a pair I'm beating down and it's the same as my DS pair. The 85 and the 94 have straight heels when looking side by side.
You compared the toebox material for the 2015 and 1994 ones but forgot to compare them to the 1985 one. How's the OG material like on the toebox man? :)
The OG leather is much thicker. Genuine. Takes awhile for that leather to break in and soften up while the 2015 is soft out the box. The 1994 matched up a little more to the OG but not as thick a cut of leather. OG all the way still for me. Hope that helps.
Woah! Alright. Off topic, I can only fit GS sizes, should I still collect Jordan's? I know GS is always short changed compared to men's when it comes to some style/materials/tech I.e. Jordan 1 bred 2016 men's leather is far better than GS's
I just bought my bf the Chicago 1 2015s for his birthday. Gonna cover it up under a bunch of black socks. This boy gonna lose his mind when he opens up his prezzie
Great video man! Does the width of the collar from the back shot have anything to do with the fact that the 2015 version is unlaced? Thanks for taking the time to make this for us!
***** I'll lace them up tomorrow and snap a pic for twitter. It's an initial visual perspective but I'll find out when I see them side by side and stick my foot in it as a wear test comparison. Thanks for pointing that out.
@@mjo23dan nike really doesn't like to make these shoes like regular af1. insane how they didn't restock these in 21 years (94-2015) hopefully they will restock these before 2035 xD ofc it's nice that they like to keep jordan 1 little bit rare but i hate how resell prices goes to 1000$ immediately after release.
Do the 85 and 94s fit the same regarding the toe box? The new retros I can wear 9.5 so not sure if I should stay the same if I could grab a pair of 85s or 94s. Thanks
@@mjo23dan Which year was the Chicago Jordan 1 with the Jumpman on the heel AND the '85 written above released? My father says he owns it for more than 15 years but as far as I searched I couldn't find anything about the specific version I mentioned.
@@jaguardentk oh yeah! You can definitely rock OG 1s though the air unit will be blown out and uncomfortable so I'd either suggest you put in a different insole or have it restored but the shoes are definitely rockable and won't crack.
Yes they will because 1s have a rubber outsole and it is stitched onto the upper unlike much of the other Jordan models. I still wear my 85s from time to time still hold up great!
If you paid attention to the date of the video, it’s an older video of mine so I obviously didn’t streamline the way I do my content up to this point.

Why can’t Nike just retro things in detail the way it was originally put together. That’s the reason is a retro to give you that nostalgia. I just don’t get it.. smh
Lots of factors go into this. Simply put, Nike does not have the same resources they once had back in the 80s such as companies used to source leathers, the same factories, those workers, the types of glues and other materials used. Also, some things may be banned that can’t be used in trade for US goods and the fact that the brand wants to scale production and use subpar materials to gain maximum profits.

Why doesn't it seem possible?
TechVidz different manufacturers (many of the old ones closed) and often times they no longer have access to the original molds
They could do it the same way they made the off-white Jordan 2’s, use the original shoe and scan it
Damn that 2015 pair looks like an SB dunk from behind compared to the others. Plenty of padding for sure.
Gunnar XCII The tongue is really nice but I later found that the tag on them are misaligned. JB missed the mark on straigtening those out.

Not me. It's not gonna be an OG
Ik the chances for copping them are low because everyone’s gonna especially be trying to get those but I’m really hoping I can get them
This is my dream shoe , I still want 2015 pair but that new pair that’s coming 😭
Well done man! Glad you were able to scored doubles after the Foot Locker jig. Haha
I had alot of attempts to get the 94 and 2001 version bred in a size 13 I should have taken that chance
You say the 2015 is much wider than the other 2, but the 2015 is not laced and the others are.
underrated video
Yh, got the 85 ones and the 15 seems kinda a mashup between what 85 and 94 mixed together would look like

I don’t get why they can’t ever get the shape or swoosh right after 85😭😞
Forgot to add that the heel of the soles go inward on the 85’s. And the 94s and later the heel of the sole goes straight down
Also the curve along the side of the midsole on the 85’s
@@juandavila5097 Actually you have that all wrong. The 85 and the 94 have the heels straight while the 2015 is the one that curves inward.
And the Lost and Found release was 2 years ago, but it feels like a week ago
The 2013 version was a misstep from Jordan Brand and doesn't represent their "quality" branding.
2015 version definitely makes up for it though.
Yo marv what color laces did the 2015 pair come with? Black and red right ?
Yes, plus white. Total of 3.
MJO23DAN thank you!
Back when they were 75$ damn
Great comparison video i hope to get these soon. I have the 2013 version but its not the same.

How can you judge the width of the back fairly though if the 2015's are unlaced, the other 2 are laced tight all the way up

Nice video man, and good back story.
Are you going to get the chicago reimagined thats coming out in october?
Gonna try!
Noticed you have a size 10 in all three pair. Would you say the sizing is the same. Thanks!
The OG has shrunk over the years due to age so I would’ve wanted to go a half size up on those but everything else is TTS
Are the 1985 1s in height taller than the 2015 Jordan 1s
Best OG condition!
So the lost and found chicagos are similar to the 94 version.

85s fit snug so I’d go a half size up in that. The 94 you can go true to size
how's the sizing? i wear size 8 in jordan's 3 but it's definitely a bit constricted. jordan 4 i wear an 8,5
Dek Dela Cruz 1's primarily fit true to size so I'd go with your true size.
