 five shoes from the reimagined series have released so far and there's been a lot of been in conversation about which shoes the best how would you rank it i haven't had these conversations i was like these are og colorways right brought back to life in a different twist right so no better way to do it than having og on the channel okay we're going to go in order from the first release to the final release which is the fours that are coming out like next couple weeks from now or something we're going to rank them all after that and we'll kind of break down the packaging and all this different stuff and evaluate that the market value the resale price the retail price the impact on the culture the different things okay okay so let's start with the first shoe all right so first up right here you can see the box now typically it's like a matte finish right right these are the reimagined patent bread air Jordan ones and before i open this box i have to preface real quick Jordan brand started an initiative called the remastered series so what they did was they said hey we're getting too far away we need to get back on track let's remaster it let's get these ogs back in order so they dropped the white cement floors and they said this is going to be where things are moving forward we're going to give you a better cut better materials and get back on track of being the brand that we are so they had that and then it kind of like started switching again people like what's going on and then now we have this so we're like everybody's starting to wonder like is this what's going to come for other models and everybody says the white the black metallic fives with the silver they say that's going to be the next reimagined shoe for next year that's what everybody's guessing and hoping for saying that we got the ones and the threes and so different stuff so that's just kind of like laying the foundation for you and where we're at today okay so this one released the end of 2021 retail was 180 bucks this was the beginning of the new price change on the air Jordan 170 went to 180 okay a couple years ago a few years ago now right so shiny box og vibes instead of the matte finish i like the shiny box now it doesn't say reimagine on the label but it's just kind of like sneaker heads we kind of like got that thing right so air drawing one high og black and red feeling like the paper white paper and then we got the shoe oh we got this shoe all right so these have additional laces in here i had laced them up before and then i didn't actually put any laces back in here because i wasn't sure what i wanted to do looky i was thinking about some white laces too so uh right here what do you think about this shoe overall i think i'll give you like what the people are thinking and you tell me what you think right i almost say this these shoes are so fire they came out they did good with the shiny box the shiny shoe everything about all of the patent leather i mean the cut everything everything about the shoe they did not miss okay for me so what would you rate this shoe out of 10 and remember remember we're rating all these shoes too so well i'm gonna do this i'm gonna give it a nine just in case one shoe is better than this okay but i want to give it a 10 okay so a nine a strong nine right now strong nine maybe we'll switch it up later because we gotta rank the shoes too yeah yeah but it's a hot start usa i don't know what all the shoes are so i can't yeah this is okay you came out with so let me just also give you a little bit of more context you have a red metallic metal jump man right here yeah matching the patent leather vibes so in the early 2000s we had the chicagos the u and c in the black and gold airdrop on mid they came with the shiny also the uh i think the co-japan collab also had these on the side of them there's some other ones with this but either way there was a silver metal jump man people was wearing this as a hang necklace you remember back in the day right so this also brings back nostalgia from that and reminiscing on that time but it had like a jewel on the wings logo instead either way they took the bread uh one leather version and then they brought it to this version here in a patent leather version give it a new twist a new vibe so this one is solid super solid uh let me check it out it's hard to miss right here let me check the more colorway everything so we're going to go market based off of my size being a 13 right now these go for around 300 bucks well that's love so 180 i was thinking more than that i was thinking more than that honestly so these could potentially go up you think yeah in time yeah okay so we'll see what happens so first one solid ranking we're off solid we got a full nine right there okay all right solid nine right there next up this shoe released and they saw the bread and they're like yo the Chicago's coming this is crazy so they brought it back reimagined this is like the lid is different yeah and it was like storytelling aspect like we're gonna make it look old and rough and beat up and like it was like in the back of a old sales store that was on sale you know like some old retailer they found it in the back room and it's like got the old price tag on there so they put like the sales sticker what's like yeah they put the sales sticker right here and it says like 84.99 or 64.99 or whatever like and the different stuff like that so the element is dope the storytelling the reimagined where people are starting to see the version a little bit more so on this it says the same thing Air Jordan 1, Air Jordan High, Varsity Red, Black Cell, Muzzlin so retail on these 180 bucks right now same thing they brought the storytelling aspect this is better than the other the packaging here is better than the other one but i like the box i don't know i like that shiny box right now so you mix the shiny box with this and you're like yeah okay okay so the newspaper vibe right and you see the details as seen on tv they got the shoe on sale leather up for different colorways oh geez they got this you know the jump the flight suit they did all that the jump man you know what i'm saying the photo from back in the day so you see how they tell that story a little bit better uh with this shoe and that aspect and then we got the shoe oh we got this shoe okay so actually we'll take both out so for this one they had it like laced up kind of like the og style they just put the front lace in there and they had the two different color options here so you got a black and a white lace so what do you think about the shoe just off of initial first look i love the shoe but remember i don't like the old like the distressed leather distressed leather okay but all this right here clean the red the materials good everything like that okay it's good i just don't like that distressed look right there so it's okay on the white leather though not the black yeah yeah yeah it's better on just because it kind of blends in more yeah okay so they came correct with the materials overall it feels very good it feels nice nice it's got a good even on the texture there it's got a good flake to it you know it's got i like how they brought the wings logo on this one stamped kind of more like the 85 cut one that was in everything yeah so they switched that up as well and uh i think they told oh there's like a receipt thing in here too i forgot it's somewhere in here um here it is okay so see like the sales receipt oh yeah sandy bro sports so you see i'm saying it's got like the whole thing 86 paid that much everything the final sale so i like how they brought all this in and it was it's like you you brought it back from the past but then everybody wondered like if you did that then why didn't you give us the 85 cut compared to the new modern day retro right right you know i'm saying so they kind of missed it it's like ah but then you gotta remember jordan one anniversary is coming up next year so what's that mean they might do with 85 ones we got a lot of different stuff some big stuff happening next year you know i'm saying so i'm like are we gonna see another version who knows you see i'm saying so this anniversary remember this was in last year not this year so like you gotta think it's been some years removed between the race to dance so they give them enough time to spread out you know i'm saying so a lot of different uh elements to the shoe the packaging the storytelling this is considered to be one of the greatest colorways and models of all time when it comes to jordan's so how do you feel about these what do you rate these because of the distress on the black and i know i got to look at some other shoes i'm gonna say a seven seven okay i'm gonna say a seven right now okay okay right now we'll rate them too so you know yeah you get to kind of you know bring that bring those ideas back around closer to a eight but i'm gonna say a seven right now okay because i don't know what all i'm looking at yeah now there's gonna have room for error this next one let me switch to the camera to see all right so this next one right here you see the vibes they stay consistent with that we imagine air jordan three this time so they switch up the box but they get that distress look on the outside got the elephant print cement print you got the night print was one of the my favorite boxes yeah tags same thing summer white fire red black air jordan three retail i want to say was 200 or 210 i don't remember but that was a retail yeah so now this shoe let me give you some context before we open it up because there's context to all these shoes the shoe was coming out and there was a lot of people hyped up about it but then they kept seeing like issues quality control this that the other glue stains there's this paint messed up my pairs messed up the elephant print is wrong all these different issues right but then there was a vast majority of people see that's the thing like you'll see on the internet oh i saw this pair was messed up yeah because the one person saw it it went viral now everybody thinks all the pairs are messed up but then it's like once you get yours in hand you're like these are fire you know i'm saying so it caused like i think i know this shoe right here go ahead chaos right and then also you didn't like these that's what i'm saying i'm thinking i'm knowing this you right here like these when they first when i showed you and then i showed you a man person yeah because i seen on a picture and you was like hold up and now we got this shoe in hand oh yeah that's my they did good on this shoe okay so my one gripe was i want retro cards i want retro cards i want retro cards i would love to see retro cards i want more retro cards that was the only thing i wanted but besides that i love them i said when i first saw the shoe in hand sneaker of the year top shoe i can't say if it's the best or not but either way i can say it will definitely be one of the top shoes yeah and what happened we did our ranking and it fell at the top of the list yeah so why cement it's a clean shoe like i said at first when i seen the picture i was like no i think they kind of blew it yeah and then when i got it in hand and i seen it and i felt it i go oh no they did good they did good it's just so hard because like sneaker enthusiasts the people that are deep in the game right like they care about the cuts the shapes the materials everything right and the people that are working the job they want to do the best to create that product and recreate it as the og so like for me i was like this is one of the best iterations that we have seen out of all the retros of the threes over the years and i think they just knocked it out of the park and what i am requesting now is a black cement three because they ruined the last one it looked like a black cement three sv compressed down pushed and ran over and they threw a Nike air tab on it like it's gonna sell yeah i'm like this is great no but the crazy thing is it still sold out and it's like a six hundred dollars you really yes and i'm like if they made it like this and they recreate right oh my gosh it would just be ten times better because i like the black cement is more than i like the white cement right but that would be crazy so i'm i'm praying that they recreate the shoe the exact same way in the black cement brand don't listen for a Nike it won't turn around they will have no issues it would be a great release but again that's a whole another thing so what do you rate these out of ten i'm gonna give my eight point nine right now eight point nine one point below the patent brand but higher than the chicago no i almost want to just give it a full nine but it's close out of all the reimagining so far actually i take that back because i've been rocking a lot since i was a kid let's get a full nine man i've been rocking these a lot they get a full nine okay so a nine they get a full nine we'll do the ranking we'll do the ranking at the end i get a full nine right there because i don't know what i'm gonna see i can't give everything a ten because i don't know i'm gonna say we're gonna save the rankings after this i don't want to hear your ranking for this one or the next one okay well let the people see so boom now they switch it up a little bit still it's usually matte like finished throughout the whole box they added that metallic on the blue area only remember the other one with shiny throughout the whole thing right they did it just on the blue area on this box so reimagine royal version this time instead of breads another og colorway size tag they're drawing one high retro og black royal blue white retail 180 bucks i think um these came out earlier well we're in 2024 now so they came out in 2023 um i think great shoe but still just not one of my favorites right let's see what this i'll let you uh unwrap these because it's gonna take a week oh oh i see this here it knows what it is i can't tell because i don't know what it boxes you know all that stuff this right here is shoes bananas what do you think about these the royal hold on let me put all this paper in man they did a great job on their shoes the colorway is like bananas you throw some white shoe strings in here and it's on point like white shoe strings i see people doing that and it looks good i would do the white shoe strings in here and it just looked clean i just i wasn't a fan of the shape it just because of the material and how it collapses and like gets all wonky like that was the thing for me that part but i like the shoe but i like to say because right here like i just did it like even right here it don't look bulky like right here right the toe looks good you know it stays like clean like that yeah and i like what they do with the wings logo too on the side like similar how they brought it up like that and added that texture to it yeah a lot of good details on this sneaker so uh overall solid shoe did it land on the top 10 for me no it was different it was up there but only thing different i would have did was white right here no you gotta keep a og i know it but i'm just having the white laces in there right there but that's clean it's a great look at the shoe man okay it done a good job on this shoe i ain't gonna tell you what i would rate this shoe right now don't tell him don't tell him because this one might be real high i don't know i won't tell you i won't tell you so last but not least this shoe is coming out in a couple weeks that shoe is clean though you already saw it no not this one the other one oh yeah oh you've seen these two so they flip the box normally it's the gray on the bottom the black on the top they flip that reimagine switching things up you know i'm saying flipping inside out type thing i look this is a detail again sneaker head sneaker wizard right this is a detail they have the nike air on the top of the lid right here on the previous retros it's always jump man it says it's a jump man with the air okay so like this kind of like that right here yeah but like you would see that here so if it's a nike air shoe like on the Jordan 4 they did jump man on it and i'm like brah the 2019 retro i'm like brah put the nike on there like is it got the nike on the shoe right right so i like how they added that good detail air Jordan 4 black fire red cement gray size 13 just for me i think retail is like 215 or something like that something like that uh okay again no retro card i wish we had a retro card here we got the shoe oh we got this all right please leave oh and i like these hang tags the other one was orange on the other one that's how i got the og style that's what i'm saying i still like them i like that they put that on here you know so you're ready for the context mm all right og 1989 durabuck that's a year i graduated og 1989 durabuck on the upper kind of like it's like a thin suede new buck like and then they switched to like a synthetic new bug later on the retros different stuff we've never seen a um what's it called a black cement four with a leather upper they've done golf bottoms they've done different retros we saw 1999 we saw 2008 we saw 2012 we saw 2019 which is 2021 golf pair the baseball spike was similar but not the same like we saw all these different variations right but we've never seen it with the leather like this this is the first time they flipped it they switched it up on us even a tongue is nice mind you the the bread force also we call them the bread force but the og you know they all call them black cement force but uh the black cement force from 89 that was the first shoe that introduced a shoe like with that material because you had all the ones were leather all the twos were leather all the threes were leather and then the four original colorways fire red white cement and uh military blue those were all leather so when it came to this one it was the first one with a new material switch up on the upper it's like remember how like we saw patent leather for the first time on the 11 right right like this was a big thing and then it became like a hit so that's some context for you yeah what do you think man i think they all done they saw what the shoes gonna be a great shoe for everybody to need two pair they just feel good in hand too they're so nice it's everything is cool top three sneaker out of here i'm calling it now yeah i'm calling it now okay so you got a rating i can't tell you my rating you got a rating in your head i got a rating in my head all right so let's pull out one shoe from each what should we want to put that one right here that one right shoe left foot right here right here is a table full of heat that's what this is a table full of heat these are the five reimagined shoes that have come out so far it's crazy they're actually doing like a suede 11 in a bright colorway but it's like a women's drop i don't know technically if that's a reimagined or not but that's supposed to come out later this year either way reimagined this is what we got so far what's the last place on the list let's just go ahead and get to the ranking okay i have to go with this to be the last last this has to be my last on my list okay this is last on my list oh come on this one yeah i think the royal suede is last on my list oh my god no okay okay okay so if that's last on the list we gotta pick how do we pick from these wait so you do you agree with this one for to be last or this one this gotta be last all right we can do it we could both put these at last because the reason why i say that is i'm will i like these more than the chicagos yeah okay and i like these i like the i this is a tough one but i'm still rocking with these over the way now so we're gonna put the the best ones is over here right so we'll put the last on this side so the last of you over here so okay which ones is last you want to write paper scissors you want flip a coin how you want to go about this come on over here you like okay okay last video let's go i got it right i want i want i know that's what i think all right that's what that's right how do we reckon i haven't had to spend much i haven't had much quality time with these yet you know i'm saying they're new they're fresh oh my god but these go crazy those go crazy but i can't let i can't let it cloud my vision because it's a new hot shiny thing but you know i'm saying but you know i'm saying though it's that new shiny thing you can't let it just cloud the vision that's all i'm saying this shoe is gonna be like indestructible you can wear it just constantly okay let's agree let's agree that this is number three what no put this is number three the white cement let's put that at three what would y'all think what would y'all think that's crazy it's tough it's tough it's a tough decision all right which shoes better the white cement three or the black cement four i got it's hard choice though the reason why i get these is because they have i've been wearing them you see my pair i got one pair over there i got some other ones in the other room them is worn i'll be wearing these things this is another new pair right here too uh but he's got shoot trees in them i'll be rocking i'll be rocking look real dirty uh that's the thing this shoe looks dope dirty this shoe looks dope vintage oh yes i got some more pairs back there anyway anyway you don't see it on the table okay all i'm saying is this is a good shoe but this had to wear on me for the masses this will not have to wear on me immediately you're like i like immediately for the masses but that's what i'm saying the materials the cuts the shapes what they did with these two is really really good like you cannot it's yeah it's hard to pick honestly so but i think like i said all terrain materials leather environments all the different factors if i bought these for my always bed on black bed on black going to bed on black so all right i get that i'll put the threes at third now we gotta go between these two you know it's crazy you know it's actually crazy so many people hate this shoe really i don't get it but then people are gonna be like oh you rock these but you don't rock these as often i'm like i get that yes it's a little bit harder wear you know i'm saying yeah i can't just like wear this with everything like this one it's a little more subtle like this is more dressy yeah like you gotta be going to do something that don't mean i don't love the shoes too right you know i'm saying right so i get that so now we're going between these one and two honestly like i said i'm giving you this one i really rather prefer some rock paper scissors because i will put this at third what all right rock paper scissors for the third no because in that then this would be an automatic what is number one here that's crazy these just came out like this that that's it right there that's it right there all right come on that's that's a good selection right there like nobody can go wrong right here if you have an opportunity to get all these shoes right here go get them this and if you have an opportunity to get two pair get them i'm still right here i'm flipping these two because all these you're gonna wear yeah i mean i'm gonna wear it you know i'm gonna rock these everybody know this one and this one is the hardest two to wear out of the bunch yes okay yes because you can wear those with everything right so these three you can wear with everything so i think depending on you know how are we ranking this right because there's so many different ways you can rank it right but this is kind of what we came with but if you went with wearing number one wearing yeah number two wearing number three wearing you'll be like this wearability this is the order yeah okay that would be the order initial thoughts and impressions and how we felt about them this is the order okay and what you don't like is this shoe hey i got lucky with this shoe because i really like this shoe i got those two i that's what i'm saying i got them you see it right here i got two pairs but again it's not my favorite right i don't dislike it i just it's not my favorite i think this is a it's a great lineup i feel like it's kind of like weird to put this at number one why because it's just like the new shiny thing no it's not like you're just gonna come in and just wreck havoc and that's debo sometime debo gotta come in here just all black everything all black everything hey if he came in the building everybody's just gonna get out the way just like let me put up on the bike that's it right there okay this is it this is our ranking let us know what you guys think down below in the comment section i cannot wait to see and oh please all the people that did that's a terrible rating how about give us some context and give us some why why and say what you think down below in the comments like oh that's trash oh what a great comment that makes no sense no meaning nothing talk to somebody give us
