The Factory Flawed Air Jordans Worth $143,000
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- Andrea Canziani has the sole pair of a factory defected Nike Air Jordan 1. The defect? An upside down swoosh on the left sneaker. The price tag: nearly $150,000. An error that would seem trivial to most has become a phenomenon in the sneaker world.
In this episode of Sneakers by VICE, we profile how and why Andrea discovered and managed to purchase the sneaker, the sneaker's story as well as Milan's sneaker scene, traveling with Andrea to Dropout, a sneaker store in Milan where he works.

It’s hard work for kids in sweat shops with their small hands and lack of schooling. There’s bound to be mistakes.
Surprisingly if they only has one-side they just used it to filled up their quota. Do you think they care when making this?
Why you think they make this in country that don't regulated workforce.
Then stop buying shoes made in sweat shops. Simple.
@@rschmidt9495 yeah make your own shoes man
@Kalyan Nath qc s are done by checking one pair per batch of hundreds lol
You don't need school to make shoes
Some people like shoes, and some like watching other people play games on twitch. leave him alone and enjoy YOUR life.
Playing games on twitch can make you money. Buying a $5 shoe for $145,000 is just idiotic.
no

Some people in these comments really don't understand the sneaker culture
because its fucking stupid brah
Sneaker 'culture' lol 😂

Good. I wish it was like it use to be and know one knew about. I wish i was still "stupid" for having 100s of pairs and "stupid" for waiting in lines.

same with the upcoming Blazer Class 1977

So many people getting triggered just because some of us like shoes. smh
^^^^ Needs to look up the definition of "triggered".
psygn0sis are you the one who misspelled loser in your comment
Lmao legit, I can't believe how heated people are getting in the comments cause people likes shoes. It's so weird to me haha
Felix Peterson maybe learning how to spell the word “know” might be good as well
100 grand for shoes is bullshit. Of course the hobby sucks ass.
That “factory flaw” is a copy from the “Ari Menthol 10s” .. 😂🙈
fr
Ari used Newport logo for the shoes
The Menthol 10s were a rip off of the Newport sign and nike. Hence him having to cease business.
I thought he said "i was born out of the passion of seven young men".
Hmmm, realistically something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. The appraisal means nothing because it isn't backed by a bid he will have rejected. The highest offer is all it's worth, as the auction will show. The hype around it will gas people up to spend more for it, but hey ho 🤷🏾♂️ the market decides. Sick video though, reminds me of SNKR Inc. stuff👌🏾 Quality crep content is scarce nowadays, do more please chaps 👍🏾
Chicken Connoisseur fam wtf u doing here g
Oi im still subbed even with the shit upload schedule
Tbh. It would likely sell for even more at an auction. IF they are able to properly advertise the auction world wide.
In asia and among the rich "limited edition" or anything unique sells like crazy.
Look up the luxury limited edition bag seller in China on RUclips. The luxury market is HUGE
I remember you
Spot on chicken man! I totally agree!
They better switch that back around before Newport sue them 😂😂 that worker needed a smoke break
Lmao menthol 10s typa beat
And now Jordan will re-release this shoe with the swoosh upside down to rain on your parade.
I’m no sneaker head but I think that looks pretty cool
Kid from the sweatshop probably got fired for tht upside dosn swoosh. Smh
thats okay as long as i stay drippin im cool
The factory:ah a mistake let’s discard it
The Italian guy:let’s sell it for 143,000$
If he really wanted to sell em he would have already, for a much higher price
Can I just poke holes in a pair of Jordans and claim the China factory worker screwed it up then sell for 6 figures??
E D it’s not the same because they have people who catch defects and the fact that his swoosh was upside down and they didnt catch that is a pretty big thing especially on a model as big as shattered back board even if it the reverse version
@@Yael_D_ they're clearly fucking rubbish at spotting defects then einstein. I doubt they'll notice a few holes or bad stitching. I'm off to buy a new pair of nikes to destroy then sell to a maniac for profit.

I hate the people saying “it’s just a shoe” I mean ok then, it’s just a car it’s just a bike people have different hobbies stop it
NarwhalGaming :] are you comparing shoes to cars right now? do you understand how absurd that is that’s like comparing a touch phone to a fucking flip phone
69-animelord-69 it’s still a hobby, I’m not trying to diss car lovers or bike lovers because I’m both of those. I’m just saying
NarwhalGaming :] alright some people have hobbies of stepping on fucking animals but we can’t hate on them because it’s just a hobby?
69-animelord-69 are you comparing someone who harms an animal to a sneaker head?
Greg no don’t take my words out of context I’m comparing on how trash his fucking logic is of how just because it’s a hobby we can’t hate on it don’t twist my words
Try selling on stockx. Rejected and charged back 15% of $143k . Lmao.
I also have a pair with a swoosh sewn upside down but I was wondering why they have a "Bike" logo instead of "Nike"
Imagine working for $2:50 a day and since u haven’t slept u make a flaw and u later found out that because of your flaw someone has a unpresidented amount of money on their hands because of your flaw
just buy a fake shoe if you want the check mark fucked up lol
I saw another shoe store named cool kicks has a Gold Toe AJ1 with upside down swoosh . It’s the only other pair I’ve ever seen and they also had bids up to 100k . It really is a beautiful defect , it’s done with such precision it cannot be an accident
I have upside down Adidas stripes..
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Just imagine if Nike make and release that same shoe with the checks upside down... then it won’t be worth nothing anymore 💀
Lmao he he going be pissed when the Travis Scott 1s come out
No because that’s intentional it won’t mean much these where an accident :)
Honest question because I don't know, but isn't most of this manufacturing automated? Like, all those panels are pre-cut either by automaton on someone operating one. Same goes for sewing. Whoever makes these shoes, do not just willy nilly sew things where they want to. I would imagine everything has a template and you can't just sew it on upside down by mistake. But IDK.
Anyway, if this is real, it was a deliberate effort by someone especially since it looks so perfect and on purposes vs. a manufacturing mistake.
Yes that's what I was thinking - surely the swooshes will be machine sewn on, and the machines will probably have the pattern programmed into them. I don't see how this mistake is even possible.
Not as much is automated as you might think - Workers are much easier to retrain than the kinds of machinery used at this level of mass production. Given how many styles, colors, materials and even just slight variants are available from a brand, it probably works out to be way more economical to teach a new sewing pattern than to completely retool a machine - Even this style of shoe (the Jordan 1) has a variant that has the swoosh on upside down as a design choice. To a human, it's a pretty intuitive change, but to a machine, this basically becomes a different shoe and needs to be retooled, tested, and adjusted all for such a limited run.
No, some documentaries showed us Vietnamese factories. Parts are automatic manufactured but the final assembly of the shoe is made by hands for every shoes since there is so much colors and materials varieties. The reverse swoosh was probably made to be part of an other shoe but end up in this Jordan by mistake.
HOLD FAST
Its probably just fake i agree
they don't automate sewing, its really difficult to do.
yes its just a shoe but you guys dont get it. to other people they appreciate things like this.just like people who buys abstract painting s for millions.even tho its just bunch of paint smudge on a canvas. just like people that collects stamps.not because you dont get it doesnt mean its stupid.other people just like to enjoy stuff that they like😀.i mean i dont even no why im saying this im not even into sneakers......oh well
abstract paintings aren't painted by chinese kids lol
Gapi P i dont think you get my point😅😅😅
@@wattapuck6477 I don't think you get the point of art to be honest. It's not a good comparison as art is much more complex and meaningful than a shoe with an error, that was probably like 200$ when released.
@@gpolenik art is subjective so I don't think you can go around telling people they don't understand art if you don't understand sneaker culture
@@paqboii1907 no it's not entirely subjective.
the fact that this man found reverse ssb are a miracle in its own way
These comments show how many people don’t understand that others like collecting shoes ITS NOT YOUR LIFE THEY CAN DO WHAT THEY WANT. I love buying shoes even if they’re expensive I love the design of Jordan’s or any type of shoe that’s for basketball or soccer
Yeah we get it. But it’s still fucking stupid. The shoes cost $20 to make and aren’t even that well made.
@@MiniMotoAlliance who are you to talk about if they're well made or not when i bet you havent even put on a pair of jordans in your entire life. and the resell price is because of supply and demand dumbass.
These ppl in the comments flaming my man. They just mad they always catch Ls on drops so they gotta rock sketchers. smh
Underrated comment 😂

HAL 9000 More like $5 worth of material not $50 😂
@HAL 9000 Diamonds are not rare at all. They're extremely common.
I got the factory flawed Reebok’s for a discounted 15 bucks 😂😂
I’m a massive sneakerhead yet this still baffles me. I get it’s unique but it’s only one swoosh on one shoe. $140,000 makes zero sense
Maybe because there aren’t any other Nikes like that? It’s one of a kind. People will pay lots of money for rare things, even if it’s just a shoe.
Logan Smith I get that but there’s other one of one shoes and even legit samples that you can buy for a hell of a lot less than $140,000. There’s also a gold toe Jordan one with this same error
@@tjmodz5082 How so? lol
When I was a kid growing up in the 90’s my mom bought me a pair of Nike shoes that were white canvas with a black velcro strap near the ankle. Being a single mom money was tight the only reason she was able to afford them was due to the store discounted them because of a “defect” the Nike swoosh was sewn upside down on the velcro straps. Man if I knew then what I know now lol.
They might’ve just been fake
his haircut pisses me off and i dont know why
It’s the haircut of a cop who is definitely not gonna let you off with a warning.
When your girlfriend complains you got too many shoes
I give credit to anyone with such a passion as this man.

Wait so he put it on eBay to see if it was valuable, then never sold it to the bidder for offering too high? 🤡

Fake taxi outro
Omg I’ve just seen them a couple days ago and didn’t know there were that important
How did it clear quality control tho , I guess that makes it even more valuable
Shoes Cost to make: $16-$17.
Shoes selling price: $100+
With $100 they can make 5 pairs of shoes.
5 pairs of shoes= $500+
With $500 they can make 25 pairs of shoes.
25 pairs of shoe= $2,500+
With $2,500 they can make
125 pairs of shoes.
125 pairs of shoe = $12,500+
Easy money..
The opening music is very familiar 😂!! U u know if u know
Vagene pls
So many people in the comments that just dont get it
@@theopenmindedskeptic2188 its about collecting things that look good. aesthetics in general is a very subjective topic, so not everyone will appreciate the sneakers design and that is okay. Collecting sneakers is no different than collecting art, and more often than not its cheaper too. Its a very subjective topic, but to dismiss everyone who likes it or the culture behind it as just a "brandwagon" is very ignorant.

How to get rich in china 101: go work to sweat shop. Put swoosh logos upside down. Steal that pair. Years layer sell it 200k
Cool defect, unfortunately these ARE NOT worth more than 4 figures!
The fact that it happened on an already hyped pair of sneakers is incredibly lucky, would people care if it was on something like a women's fitness sneaker though
And then travis Scott did this and its reselling for 1-2K
If nike released a whole collection with their logo upside down his shoe wont be worth that much anymore
It’s different though, Nike releasing shoes like that on purpose wouldn’t lower the value of the shoes that Nike made a mistake on. That high price tag is thanks to Nikes mistake, not the style
It’s wild that if Newport wanted they could sue Nike bc the Nike logo upside down be the spinnaker logo
So defectives are rare..but replicas are not cool...the whole shoe game stupid...
"these are the shoes I wear everyday" me being me my immediate thought is of him with like 20 legs so he can wear them all
Okay so basically an Air Jordan 1 that had the Nike logo upside down is worth over a 100k?
Good shit people
Nothing special dude in ny made Newport nike now that's impressive
There’s also another pair the gold toe the swoosh on it is also inverted and romourd around $200,000
