I have a pair and love them. The leather on this shoe is much more stiff and actually more thick than the current Jordan one high OG. I thought it was mid material at first glance but was way wrong. The leather breaks in very nice but it takes a while to do so. Have crease protectors in as well.
I saw u on kickz insta story was wondering if you managed a W congrats man, I am hoping to get lucky on new beginnings pack cause that white/red jordan 1 looks even better than this one imo
Yes, wearing a shoe makes it no longer “dead stock” and decreases its value. However even used shoe prices can rise over time if they’re in good condition and it’s a sought after shoe.
Got the W on these. I don't got drip so i'm gonna sell em. Thoughts on whether you think I should hold em for a while? Im thinking they might be more valuable later on.
Would you recommend going true to size on Jordan 1 LA to Chicago ? Because i did and it was much more tight then a normal jordan 1 and it was pinching me on the side.
Mine came with the Jordan hangtag image looking pixelated, and I was worried they were fakes. But looks like yours looks like that too. Sign of relief lol
I managed to cop a pair for retail and man these automatically have become my favorite pair of AJ1s that I own. More than my travis and more than my turbo greens! The leather on these is just something else. It is stiff, yes, but this that kind of leather that needs to break in over time and just will keep looking better and better. Also dope video JD keep it up 👊🏽
I copped for retail..got a win here in Chicago on the footlocker flx app..I don’t think I’m gonna wear my pair it really is a collection piece considering the limited pairs and the packaging..the leather is stiff..a lot of ppl think it’s cheap leather cause they are used to the soft tumbled leather that’s been coming out for the last couple years...resale is only gonna get higher once the little timmys are done dumping their pairs.
Some ppl legit think it’s cheap they’re like oh it’s not tumbled it’s not soft not knowing that leather is actually smooth of the hide before the tumbling process.
Awesome review! Glad this video popped up in my feed. I got the W on the SNKRS App, 9.5. Got the shipment notification today. Can’t wait to get them. Thanks for all the info on these. 👍🏼👍🏼
dude i think these are going to hop over resale for all the aj1’s currently in the market; even the unions. 23k is insanely small, and for all the collectors u’d be dumb to not cop for resale right now. these will hit 4.5k in less than three years, even IF there are remasters in og colorways. btw i’ve said it before, but those la to chi sb 1’s will leap almost as high. its the last super limited model in that silhouette. (i flew to NY to cop those from kith) . for people who are wearing their aj1’s casually, this is the one. just go look at rocky’s fits
JD Kicks 100% bro. they’re the only ds pairs of aj1’s that i have. and i wear ALL of my kicks. would love to see the metallic series come back in the 85’ cut. fantastic job with the channel btw 👌
@premiumliver bro, these will never hit $4.5k. you’re seriously overestimating their value-potential. these are strictly for hardcore diehards. the young, hypebeast sneakerheads don’t care about these.
Clifford Samuels 1985 leather was thick and got better with every time you wore the shoe. 2013 and up is all thin leather not built to last. Also when breaking another persons ankle you don’t want leather with a lot of give I mean you want some give but the 1985 gives you the perfect amount of give. I’ve had 2013 2016 2017 air jordan 1 models and I have to say the 85s were it but the color blocking was not their.
Jay Dee Huh..? I get how #85 or #1985 would be special but I think most would agree that #23 would be the best number to have. And what does Kobe’s jersey numbers have anything to do with these Jordan’s?
JD Kicks nope, I’m talking about the 2015 pair. I’ll order them in a month. Saved up $700 just for that. I was hoping the 85’s would come through but they ended up being a huge disappointment.
This guy has no clue on leather. I own saint laurent, balenciagas and LV sneakers and it does NOT crease up like these. If people think these are premium, people do not know leather. It isnt about tumble, it isnt about cut. It’s about how the leather wears in and you can see the toebox on these will looks DESTROYED in no time. It’s the same stuff on defiant 1s, worst release in years. Oh well let the hype fool u if u want
Nima Rastad Believe me, I know good leather. People hyping you because YOU OWN THEM creates a bias. Look around at reviews and you will see many many people saying they are NOT good leather. Good leather is the Banned 1s from 2011, the Shattered Backboards, the Sail from the Premium Pack. This flat stuff that has clearly been mixed with some other form of plastic compound is just not good. Have you ever held thousand dollar saint laurents? Or Dior B22s? No. So you just wouldnt get it. Watch reviews of the new beginnings pack, and EVERYONE says the Air Ship has much better leather than the AJ1, and the leather on these are worse than the AJ1s in that pack. Don’t claim to be a leather expert when you arent buddy

I just got a pair of these today and I love them ❗❗❗ I would love to wear them but imma keep them in a box
congrats on the pickup ! Dope review!
Thank you bro
23,000 pairs of each size or total?
Fire review and shoes 🔥🔥🔥
Common trend: those that copped loving it, those that took an L hatin. Clout is real.

Sick video man
I saw u on kickz insta story was wondering if you managed a W congrats man, I am hoping to get lucky on new beginnings pack cause that white/red jordan 1 looks even better than this one imo
I like these ones more tbh
Fire J's 🔥🔥
I have them dead stock with OG box and Bags , if I where them will it decrease it’s value or is just worth an investment??
Yes, wearing a shoe makes it no longer “dead stock” and decreases its value. However even used shoe prices can rise over time if they’re in good condition and it’s a sought after shoe.
Where you got them?
One of the best jordan 1´s 🔥🔥🔥
It took me 3 years to get these 🔥 🔥
Would you go tts or half size up now after wearing them for a bit?
Tts for me
Great video as normal keep it up.........now to pay a large amount on stock x for these
Great in depth review!
Got the W on these. I don't got drip so i'm gonna sell em. Thoughts on whether you think I should hold em for a while? Im thinking they might be more valuable later on.
They will definitely be more valuable the longer you hold
Jacob Knollinger hold them bro you might wanna keep em or the price might go up
Major heat 🔥🔥🔥
Would you recommend going true to size on Jordan 1 LA to Chicago ? Because i did and it was much more tight then a normal jordan 1 and it was pinching me on the side.
I went true to size as well and I will admit, it's a bit tighter than my other jordan 1s
JD Kicks how they feel now when you broke them in?
Been wearing them for a few months and they still feel slightly tighter
Mine came with the Jordan hangtag image looking pixelated, and I was worried they were fakes. But looks like yours looks like that too. Sign of relief lol
Paid $400 yesterday . Sadly no box or the dust bags
Mine came in today from stockx for 399.11 😅. I see the market isn't going up I might cop another pair
I was wondering about the leather quality. When I look at it, it doesn’t look premium but I’ll take you in hand review on it! 👏🏾
Many others reporting that the leather is not that great. I doubt they will get any better with wear. Look way too stuff and plasticky.
The leather is asssssssss quality. This guy is just hype. I’ve held a pair, and they are sickeningly bad
It’s not that it’s bad it just creases really badly quickly.. good leather can do that
@@supremetaaanxz2241 lol genuine leather from 1985
People need to understand that “softness” of leather doesn’t equal better quality.
Is it me or does these shoes look like it's on the wrong foot in every picture I see lol like the outside curve is just a little too much
I managed to cop a pair for retail and man these automatically have become my favorite pair of AJ1s that I own. More than my travis and more than my turbo greens! The leather on these is just something else. It is stiff, yes, but this that kind of leather that needs to break in over time and just will keep looking better and better.
Also dope video JD keep it up 👊🏽
Very fresh my man..Congrats..
Thank you bro as always
@@JoshDominic no doubt my brotha..
that colorway of the 85 reminds me of a regular dunk highs from before
Congrats king!!
Should I wear my pair man? Just got one for retail.
Depends on you bro, if you love it and wanna wear it then go for it
Wear em! Unless you don’t like em or would rather have the $.
ReBoot imo sit on it for as long as you can.. it’s a collectors item or a future flip
Just do it.
I wear mine
Lucky you. If I buy it I’ll never gonna sell it. I’ll wear it super proud head high lol
Aries Sebastians sane man
Aries Sebastians *same bro
These are made with real leather? Did i hear that right?
Fire 🔥
yessah!
Blessah
The colour blocking belongs on a footlocker exclusive mid
Thanks for the comment fam, fan of your channel and your photography skills are mad
So in other words the leather is just like the Jordan 1 defiant. Nice premium leather.
I've seen the jordan 1 defiant in hand, the leather on this is nothing like that one
I copped for retail..got a win here in Chicago on the footlocker flx app..I don’t think I’m gonna wear my pair it really is a collection piece considering the limited pairs and the packaging..the leather is stiff..a lot of ppl think it’s cheap leather cause they are used to the soft tumbled leather that’s been coming out for the last couple years...resale is only gonna get higher once the little timmys are done dumping their pairs.
Vaughn Goy I don’t think people think it’s cheap.. they just don’t like the fact it instantly looks like it’s been worn for a year
Some ppl legit think it’s cheap they’re like oh it’s not tumbled it’s not soft not knowing that leather is actually smooth of the hide before the tumbling process.
These are better than the breds
Flames.
You should wear pants that don’t cover up the entire shoe. Otherwise good video
2FlyGraffiti I cringe every time I see that 😬or when it’s fully laced up all tight. 🤦🏽♂️😂
🤡
Awesome review! Glad this video popped up in my feed. I got the W on the SNKRS App, 9.5. Got the shipment notification today. Can’t wait to get them. Thanks for all the info on these. 👍🏼👍🏼
Congrats man
I’m very late on this but I have #23, I just thought everyone’s said it though😂
Mine is on the way boss in goat app birthday gift to me
I prefer the big swoosh and the wings logo on the '85
These would look better with blk laces

Completely agree on these easily hitting 4k in the future l, and also the LA to chi is one of my all time favourite 1s to rock
JD Kicks 100% bro. they’re the only ds pairs of aj1’s that i have. and i wear ALL of my kicks. would love to see the metallic series come back in the 85’ cut. fantastic job with the channel btw 👌
@@JoshDominic these been steady around $650ish since the release, will they ever shoot up?
@andrew “crickets”. 🤨 Nobody’s going to pay $4k for these, ever. If they do, they’re crazy.
@premiumliver bro, these will never hit $4.5k. you’re seriously overestimating their value-potential. these are strictly for hardcore diehards. the young, hypebeast sneakerheads don’t care about these.
There was a women that got 85 from Footpatrol in London‼️
It's always the guys with no drip that win these sneakers....smh
@jdkicks6 is the IG handle if you looking for drip💧💧
#salty
😂😂 ffs
looks like mans SNKRS app crashed
lmfaoooooo
I got a pair for 320
If i hit they was getting sold
Pass the TS1s?
No way, bro.
No hate, but the color blocking is not better than the OG breds.
At some day, they will pass
@@2pacpoker Never.
Concidering buying for $750, what y’all think?? Josh HELP? lol
The number being on the bag and not the shoe lowers the value. No way to authenticate the shoe. You can authenticate the bag but not the shoe
You can always authenticate a shoe. Imo, it would be harder to fake the shoe vs the bag
@@jalencampbell718 you can authenticate that a shoe is #xx out of xxx without any stamping, stitching, or markings? Impossible
@@Lkingfwdnevabkwds 🤡🤡🤡
Banned way better. Cool collector's piece tho.
These look like Dunks
🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍👍
The leather on these looks plastic. I like the tumble leather on the recent Jordan 1's like bloodlines or the upcoming UNC to Chi better
This is what a new kid would say after rocking Nikes for less than year after coming off the boost wave😂
@@brittanyjohnson7754 imagine thinking these are premium leather, more like leather from 2013

#85/23000 is more special wats even more special is #8 #24
Jay Dee Huh..? I get how #85 or #1985 would be special but I think most would agree that #23 would be the best number to have. And what does Kobe’s jersey numbers have anything to do with these Jordan’s?
Naaah #23
This aint no kobe shoes
cuz kooobbbeee (shoots ball)
They Should reform SNKRS app and remove Bots, Buying sneakers should never be this hard.
i on wanna be that hater but man hiding the high tops with the pants like that is not the move..
That leather is trash. happily skipping. Would rather buy the Chicagos.
If you talking about the pair releasing next weekend, they have the exact same leather
JD Kicks nope, I’m talking about the 2015 pair. I’ll order them in a month. Saved up $700 just for that. I was hoping the 85’s would come through but they ended up being a huge disappointment.
Such a wack colorway. Should have been the Breds or Chicagos
You think these are better than the breds? Nahhhhhhh cancelled. Seriously, dunnout
Y’all really hyped up some Ronald McDonald lookin ass shoes smh.
Pretty much any jordan 1 is a ronald McDonald shoe
Too red don't feel em
Hype beast! These shoes are ugly.
Man these are so terrible lol
You’re definitely lying about the leather. Stop lying to these people man. Premium leather has no shine
Fam....have you ever seen gucci, balmain or hermes leather? Its super premium but still shiny af
