 So my local Nike town just restocked this shoe and I finally got the Heritage Air Jordan one in my collection. So in today's video, we're gonna be breaking down all the differences between the black toes, the fragments and the bread toes. Because I personally think a lot of people are sleeping on these Heritage ones. And if you didn't know by now, my name is DJ and this is the DNA show. Hey!

So if you haven't already, consider subscribing and joining the fam. We're on the road to a million subscribers and you could be the next one to get us there. So with all that being said, let's go ahead and crack this box open and see what this shoe is talking about. Starting off with the lid right here, we have your classic Air Jordan one style box. But this one definitely has a twist to it. It has a matte white finish all over with the red Nike and the swoosh and then the branding throughout the rest of the box. And on the size tag it reads Air Jordan one retro high OG, white university red, black size 13, just for me and retail on these was 170 bucks. Now cracking open the lid of the box, you have your classic regular white paper and then you got the shoe. Oh, you got the shoe. Okay, first impression of this shoe. When it comes to the leather quality, honestly on the back end, these are not that bad. Now, before we get too deep into breaking down all the styles, cuts and materials, you know what we gotta do. We gotta talk about the history first. Back in 1984, Michael Jordan came into the league and in 85, he got his own model called the Air Jordan one, which we know has been a very famous model over the past 30 plus years. During that time, they had signature iconic colorways that came out that we still love to this day. But like always, there's colorways that don't make the cut and then they end up never releasing. So looking at the pictures right here, you can see there's a white and blue colorway that has the same exact color blocking like this. And this was a prototype sample colorway that they decided not to release back in 1985. So 30 plus years go by and next thing you know, we see the Travis Scott Air Jordan one release. Now me personally, I would say out of the four Travis Scott Jordan ones, this is probably my least favorite of those. But at the same time, it is still a solid shoe. I'm interested to see what you guys think in a second when we talk about the materials and the breakdowns. But anyways, if you look at the inside of the foot right here to the OG color blocking that we saw back in 1985. So this kind of came out and they reminisced this with the fragments and they did a couple of mixtures with different things like that. Again, I've done a full in depth review on this shoe, but for you to get a gist of it to say the least, these are definitely very similar to that OG color blocking that we had never seen before besides in some magazines and some random leaked photos over the years. Now following that release now in 2022, we have this colorway coming out in a red version. And there was a lot of skepticism about this shoe and a lot of people being very critical over it based off of what people thought on the fragment compared to it being a collaboration and super hyped up. And then next thing you know, this one comes out and it's essentially the same shoe, but in red, which is bull's color. So you would think more people would like it. But for some reason, not that many people like this shoe. And to be honest with you, when I first saw leaked images of this shoe, I was interested in adding it to my collection because it was a different twist. But at the same time, it was not like high priority on my list. As you can see right now, I'm getting these late, but I was waiting and I got them for retail. So I'm not mad at that. Now, before we get into breaking down all the details of this shoe, we gotta shout out today's sponsor, Aura. Do you know what the fastest growing crime in America is right now?

Now before we dive deeper into opinions and prices and projections in comparisons with the other models that I showed you earlier, let's go ahead and break down this shoe real quick. Starting with the bottom of the foot, you have your classic Air Jordan one outsole, all red vibes right here, going up to the midsole, all white with a white stitch. And then on the upper, all the upper. Like I said, there's a couple of different mixtures of materials. The back end of the shoe, the tumbled leather is very soft. It feels really nice. And even on the toe box, it feels really good. And then on the swoosh, same thing. But when it comes to the white leather, it's very smooth and it feels kind of stiff. I'm not exactly sure how people are gonna feel about it. Some people are gonna say it feels kind of cheap. Typically that's what we get when we see a smoother leather on the Air Jordan one, which I completely understand. Now going to the tongue, you got your all white hit with the black Nike tab with the red Nike air, black sock liner, and then a white insole with the red Nike air on there. These come standard with a pair of black laces and an additional pair of red laces and white laces. So that's another cool perk to have the different options to be able to switch it up or add these laces to other Jordan one models that you may not have extra color lace options for. So after seeing those in depth shots right there, let me know what you guys think about the materials of the shoe and how you feel about the color blocking of the shoe because now we're gonna talk about color blocking with the other ones and why it's so interesting and what people are doing with this pair right here to turn them into something else. So as we all know, the black toe Air Jordan one is a OG colorway that came out back in 1985. And we have seen retro a couple of times over the years. When you look at the back end of these two sneakers, they are definitely very similar. Obviously the swoosh is a different color, but the back end right here around the color and the heel is pretty much identical. Now going to the front end of the sneaker, you can see you have the black around the lace area and then around the whole toe cap with the white vamp right here. So I'm sure some people are asking why are you showing this comparison of these two shoes? Because this sneaker right here became very, very expensive. And then the bread toe Air Jordan one came out and it was going for pretty low originally. Next thing you know, the price shot up because everybody couldn't get these. And now this became the hot topic and became a lot of people's grill. So now as you can see right here, there are definitely some similarities on the back end, but different on the front. But if you look at the top of the toe box right here, what do you have? Red leather. So what are people doing? A lot of people are customizing this version right here and painting the area around the toe, the lace holes and the swoosh black and it's causing it to look like the bread toe ones. Now I'm personally not too big into customizing and everything like that. I'm more of a PE and sample type of guy. I love to collect the actual thing, but I do understand the custom world and I have a lot of respect for it. So don't get me wrong. I'm not talking down or negative at all to any of that type of stuff because it is a true art and you have to be good to do it nicely when it comes to customizing sneakers and making it look like this version and all those other factors. But either way, this is something that I'm not too into but I do respect and I understand why people are doing it because like I said, you can easily customize this shoe to make it look like this one. And if this is a shoe that you really wanted and you couldn't afford, you could go out and buy this one for around 200 bucks or get it at retail like I did and then put some paint on the shoe. You know, paints like what, 10, 15 bucks, something like that, take a little bit of time. Next thing you know, you're like $210 into the shoe and it looks like a $700 shoe. Now some people may think that's a good idea and some people may not. Again, I'm just kind of presenting the idea to you guys and showing you what people are deciding to do with this model and getting a little bit more creative because we don't typically see that with every single Air Jordan model. Typically it's like, this is the colorway, this is what you got, people like it or not. But when it comes to something like this, with the having the white base on it, you can get a lot more creative. I've seen people turn these into bread ones as well. And then obviously you're gonna have to change the color of the mesh on the tongue and different things like that with the customization process. But it is cool to see people get creative and have a little bit fun with their sneakers and do something a little bit different to enjoy the shoe a little bit more. So with all that being said, I wanna ask you guys that question. Is this something that you would be interested in doing or you wanna learn how to do or you kind of just wanna mess around and know that, hey, if I mess up the shoe, it's okay because it's not reassembled for much. So I could easily purchase another pair again and all those different things. Let me know what you think about that whole customization process and creating the sneaker that you can't have or I don't know, it's hard to say because you know, everybody's gonna, oh, were you talking about that? Everybody's always got their ways to complain about whatever people say. But at the end of the day, again, I'm not hating it, I'm not knocking it out. I think it's pretty cool I like when people get creative and create something that they can't afford or whatever it may be or, you know, I'm more of like save up until you can get it. And then it feels even better once you get that thing that you couldn't afford because you worked hard to get to that point. But I don't know, everybody has different perspectives. I'm just interested to hear what you guys think as well.
