Can’t wait ! I’m shocked I haven’t heard anyone who knows the OGs talk about how the original Natural Grey 1s have a grip tape swoosh and here we get suede. Not complaining but something I’ve noticed
@@EonHSD a local store in Nashville called ROOTED or stay-rooted.com btw they do raffles for most Jordans/dunks/blazers/adidas shoes/stussy/stone island/etc and you only pay if you win, btw it’s a retail store so you pay retail prices for items(so for the 1s I’m paying $200+tax, most of the times they ship tho just not for this raffle/draw bc it was for locals only) and not resell prices
The numbers on the inside of the collar next to the size are the production date. 20- 2020 08- August to 09- September XC- is the factory the sneakers were manufactured in.
If memory serves me, the 200809 is the year and months the shoes were made. So 20 is year 2020, made during 08-09 (August - September), and the XC represents the factory location (Guangzhou, Xiaoping). Really hope I get myself a pair for retail, if I don't, hope resell isn't too high.
I'm an OG head and have a pair of original 1985 Bred 1s as well as some other 80s Nikes in the same style. Any 80s Nike with a rubber sole was board lasted back then, just like these. Other models that had air bubbles or full poly midsoles (4s, 3s, etc.) were not board lasted and just had a scratchy plastic/fabric thing instead.
I’m glad to see you’ve elevated your trousers/ pants attire for the past few months. I’ve said it time and time again, that Jordan 1s along with Dunks (and numerous other silhouettes to mention) look more refined with quality trousers. Either tapered and cropped, or straight/ wide and cropped. Please, please, please stay away from joggers, sweatpants, the infamous H&M zipper pants (just zipper pants/ denim in general) like pretty much 99% of all other shoe RUclipsrs wear, because quite frankly the hype-boy look needs to be consigned to the landfill sight to never be seen again. Keep up the good work brother 👍
These are so simple yet so 🔥! If we can actually go anywhere this summer these are going to get broken in. Had to re-watch your Reverse Bred and NBP reviews for the sizing advice before putting in the bid on StockX LOL
A year later and Ive sold most of my J1 highs to make space for NBs 😅 kept these, the black toes, and the UNCs and I think that's a testament to how great these are. They are aging phenomenally
Great vid and review as always! I'm so sick of ignorant dumbasses saying the leather on these is trash. Thank you for setting the record straight. These are FIRE and can't wait for Chicagos and Breds to release in this true OG 85 version.
So I waited for years checked on these daily on StockX and GOAT and I said when they’re finally a decent even price like $235-$250 max I’ll pull the trigger well today on GOAT they had a brand new pair albeit damaged box for $207 and they were already pre verified by goat I paid $240 all in all what a win!!
Don't own a pair but glad to hear they fit longer and narrower. This how original Air Jordans fit, wrapped the foot nicely. They make em all wide and bulky now
XC is the factory I believe. I noticed when taking the soles off other retro 1s there is a XC embossed at the bottom of the cup sole. I.e. ogs that had a TY stamp was from the tong yang rubber company.
XC is the factory name just like the OG 1985 pair (pretty sure it will be the owners initials of the factory as that is what they did with the 1985’s) FYI my 1985 Chicagos are board lasted for future ref 👍🏻
Sean, fellow NikeTalk member, would you say that the main area of potential discomfort in the shoe is the middle section, because the shape is more narrow? …as opposed to the toe box.
These look really fantastic....but just looking at them hurts my feet. When Sean mentioned the stiff thick leather I can't help but remember the sensation of sliding my feet into a pair of AJ1 mids; not pleasant :(
I was fortunate enough to cop the high 85 reverse breds for retail so hopefully I'll get a W on these to add to my collection. Definitely not worth the hyped up resellers prices so I'll pass if I get the L. Great video and review. 😁👍
these are my only pair of 1s rn. i run a size 13 and feel like they could be slightly wider cuz my feet are wide. when i order my next pairs of jordans, should go up to 13.5 or will 13 probably fit my feet better than these?
If anyone needs to be educated on leather, I would give Rose Anvil a watch. He dissects shoes on RUclips. Very knowledgeable guy, especially when it comes to leather. His video on Shattered Backboards is a great watch.
Somehow i think nike messed up my stitching inside the right shoe ist more rough and so its very snug on my little toe where the left shoe fits perfect why is my pair so 😭
I prefer white clean lookin kicks. Might gonna go for it, wish the prices weren't so expensive, StockX (€480 in my sz). Haven't kept up with this yrs releases, as much as last year. Not knowing how limited this releases was, if the prices will drop (secondary market)? I do like the Unc (black/blue), the Hyper Royal Smoke Grey, that will be releasing upcoming months.
I've always been confused why people say its a "better" leather but it feels a lot stiffer on feet. To me a good leather would be something thats supple and doesn't pinch your feet at all, like the SBB's/TS1's/Sails etc. What is it about the thicker cut of leather that makes it...better?
If I’m a true size 8 in shoes and usually go up a size for comfort wise, should I buy these in a true size 8 since these are longer than the typical Jordan’s 1?
@@SeanGo okay thanks for replying! And I meant that I go up half a size up not a full size but anyways will for sure get these in my usual size Jordan’s 1 then! Buying these from resell so I just had to ask since they are quite expensive! Also thanks for reviewing always helps when trying to cop those shoes in particular!
Hello hope all is well I had a question(common one) on sizing so I have wide feet I wear a size 8 I’m off white 5s and the only ones I ever had sadly are the fly knit aj1s and I wear a size 8 in those toe kinda close the edge maybe half a quarter thumb space no more and was wondering if I should still get a 8 in these or 8.5?
@@SeanGo thank you so much you literally jus helped me save the hassle of having to send back shoes and all that when I’m about to literally purchase these shoes right now ha thank you
Every single time Sean...I cannot believe how you keep doing it. Your sneaker photos are absolutely beautiful.
Haha thank you!!! Appreciate the love ❤️
Literally was about to write the same thing. I've always wanted this sneaker but after this video I feel like I can't live without it lol.
That's exactly how I feel, bro
for real bro this guy knows what hes doing fo sho
Ditto
The most relaxing shoe reviewer in YT
Hahah
I do agree.
Love the thumbnails too!
Elegant!
So true, I feel the rest of reviewers scream at me.
Your channel is different from other creators. No stupid faces/reactions and non Hypebeast outfits. Love you channel I’m a fan
Thank you!
@@SeanGo keep the hard work! Waiting for the next video haha
Got these in '86. Been waiting a while for this retro 😆. Great details, thx for the review!
Crazy! Must be extra special for you

Legit best sneaker review channel. Thank you for doing what you do bro! We as fans and viewers appreciate the quality and content! Much love!
Thanks homie 🤝🤝🤝
These are tough. Forget the hype and all that. These are everyday wears in the summer for me!
Good luck getting that W!

I did for sizing as he is pretty much the same as me for all shoes. Unfortunately won no raffles on these.

Think the XC is supposed to represent the Factory like how the 85's had factory name marked as well.
👀👀👀👀👀👀
paid resell. one of the best 1s ever and long overdue it was retro’d
Retail or bust. A dope alternative are the nike dunk platinums if people catch an L. Dope review as always Sean!
These are clean. Can’t compare to any shoetuber who displays their shoes better than Sean.💯
Copped on SNKRS app. Got delivered today and I’ve got to say they look so much better in hand. I’m afraid to even wear these bad boys.
A year later and Ive sold most of my J1 highs to make space for NBs 😅 kept these, the black toes, and the UNCs and I think that's a testament to how great these are. They are aging phenomenally
they look good with age? ive seen people say they crease nice unlike normal aj1’s
Been obsessed with these for awhile and I might have to finally get them. So excited to break in that quality leather and have them shape to my feet 🤤

These are perfect to me. Hoping the price comes down a little at some point soon.
So I waited for years checked on these daily on StockX and GOAT and I said when they’re finally a decent even price like $235-$250 max I’ll pull the trigger well today on GOAT they had a brand new pair albeit damaged box for $207 and they were already pre verified by goat I paid $240 all in all what a win!!
I would love to see in in depth comparison between the 1s we get today and the 85 cuts.
This is what the collar codes mean:
10 (size) 200809 (production date - 2020 August 9) XC (Nike factory code)
You’re the best sneaker reviewer imo
🙏🙏🙏
Hit on these this morning. Can’t wait to open them 🥲
I Wear a 12 n got an 11 1/2. They are Perfect like dress shoes. I Wear light /thin / dress socks. Underrated shoe for 2021.
Do we think the thick leather will wrinkle faster? What are your thoughts
BS how SNKRS instantly crashed and said “sold out” even before getting a chance to check out.
Yup, same happened to me too
I was denied buying at 7:01am! What a scam.
Don't own a pair but glad to hear they fit longer and narrower. This how original Air Jordans fit, wrapped the foot nicely. They make em all wide and bulky now
Never heard of your page before but solid video. Keep it up.
XC is the factory I believe. I noticed when taking the soles off other retro 1s there is a XC embossed at the bottom of the cup sole. I.e. ogs that had a TY stamp was from the tong yang rubber company.
Interesting
Finally got lucky on SNKRS and scored. Plan on selling it but your video is making me change my mind and might keep it for myself 🤣🤔
Great review man ! Can you ID those pants you're wearing in the on-feet?
XC is the factory name just like the OG 1985 pair (pretty sure it will be the owners initials of the factory as that is what they did with the 1985’s) FYI my 1985 Chicagos are board lasted for future ref 👍🏻
Good to know!
I can't believe I hit on these this morning! So excited to get these.
Amazing!
love your videos man. Great review with tons of detail and knowledge. Hit my size on SNKRS excited to put em on foot!
beautiful shoe, great photos and review
Just hit these grails on SNKRS! ❤ Great review as always Sean
🤝🤝🤝🤝
@@SeanGo lucky 😭😭😭
I prefer the metallic navy but your on feet makes these look real good. Will probably grab some for resale
Sean, fellow NikeTalk member, would you say that the main area of potential discomfort in the shoe is the middle section, because the shape is more narrow?
…as opposed to the toe box.
middle section and where the laces start, as opposed to my actual toe area
@@SeanGo Does the narrow middle section loosen over time?
...thanks for the response.
Retail pair only for me . Not spending resale 😅
Great video as always 👌🏼🔥
These look really fantastic....but just looking at them hurts my feet. When Sean mentioned the stiff thick leather I can't help but remember the sensation of sliding my feet into a pair of AJ1 mids; not pleasant :(
On the OG 85's the XC or 2 letter on the lining indicated the factory they came from. Not sure if that is the same w the modern version.
Sean always packing heat Literally 🔥
Did you get the white Notre Dunks? I really like those and hopefully you can do a review soon?
Took an L, but bought a pair from Stockx when prices crashed LOL
These are fire my dude
Need need need. Gonna have to double up. One pair to keep cleaner and one pair to beat up.
I was fortunate enough to cop the high 85 reverse breds for retail so hopefully I'll get a W on these to add to my collection. Definitely not worth the hyped up resellers prices so I'll pass if I get the L. Great video and review. 😁👍
Should have gone a half size down in these mine are too long tts
I got super lucky and hit on them early on SNKRS and I absolutely love them so I’m chillin but good luck to all of you tomorrow
These are actually 🔥
I’m waiting for this review all day long, finally I can now go to sleep. 👍
Question why is the sticker inside the shoe on the color topic White/Red/Black?
Bes Regards
Is it worth to trade an extra pair of Univ Blue for this pair? Or a Mocha for a Balvin?
these are my only pair of 1s rn. i run a size 13 and feel like they could be slightly wider cuz my feet are wide. when i order my next pairs of jordans, should go up to 13.5 or will 13 probably fit my feet better than these?
The best sneakertuber in the world!
🤝
Can you do a review on the jordan 1 low bred that came out for Chinese New Year?
i love every your videos bro, im waiting for the 6s carmine. Please.
love the reviews bud keep it up! u mind me asking where you get your early purchases from?
I just pay resale from resellers, StockX etc
Neutral Grey’s or Ying Yang white’s? Also what season would you rock these?
Neutral grey! Perfect in spring / summer!!
@@SeanGo thanks for the response, also thanks for these reviews. If I need to know how a shoe fits ur the man for the job🙏💙
I’m tryna be optimistic about tryna cop from SNKRS tomorrow but I can already feel my L looming in the distance 😑
Same brother😔
@@caseysalazar1084 bro I was served a swift yet vicious L today SNKRS app is cancer
I was so confident I would take an L I actually slept on the drop 😌
They should've done the same leather they used on the Sylvesters
7:00 dang is that Brad Hall modelling the on feet? 😁
These pairs are fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dope video! Liked and subscribed. What kind of pants are those if you don’t mind me asking?
They’re from Uniqlo!
i love the white laces more as well.
Does anyone know what was the total stock on these? Love the channel !
If anyone needs to be educated on leather, I would give Rose Anvil a watch. He dissects shoes on RUclips. Very knowledgeable guy, especially when it comes to leather. His video on Shattered Backboards is a great watch.
Love his work
🤞 snkrs just this one please
Thanks for the awesome review👌
I took a L. These were originally just retail only for me but debating if I wanna pay resell. Only if they get close to $300 range.
I kinda wish I woulda copped when they were listed for $350 the other day in my size on goat. Feel these are gonna be hard to cop
XC is ones of Nike’s manufacturers partners Rong Guangzhou group in Guangzhou China
I like these but almost $500 resell price is crazy
Sean 🐐
Somehow i think nike messed up my stitching inside the right shoe ist more rough and so its very snug on my little toe where the left shoe fits perfect why is my pair so 😭

Check out Rose Anvil on RUclips who’s a true Leather expert.
XC is the production warehouse. These were produced in Xichang China
Also OGs were board-lasted
should i go a half size up? size they are so tight?
On the fence about paying resale for them. At some point they'll retro these again, I might be 50, but it will happen.
Ready for resell market. Need size 10.5 x2
Gotta catch a W on these. Rumor has it nobody will cop any Jordan 1s today though...
If Sean don't review them I probably not buying 😌
Sean, how much space / extra room do you have in the shoe when you go TTS? is it snugged? or you have about 3mm e.g.
Less than a finger's width I'd say
@@SeanGo thank you
I have very narrow feet. Can I go half size down?
I was Retail or Bist, but this video might sway me to up that a little bit...
Notification gang!
They don't have a bag and aren't numbered? On my snkrs app it says it's 23,000 pairs each with a numbered dustbag
Nope I think they copied and pasted that bio from the reverse bred by mistake
Boom! Grails! 🔥
If I’m a true size 8 in shoes and usually go up a size for comfort wise, should I buy these in a true size 8 since these are longer than the typical Jordan’s 1?
If you always wear 9 I’d stick to 9 then. They feel more narrow than normal AJ1
