 Today we're going to be taking a look at the black and white Air Jordan 1 in the 85 cut. I'm excited to unbox this shoe right here and give you guys some good comparisons between the other 85 cuts that have released over the past couple of years and these ones right here just might be the best ones to release so far. Starting with the box you got your classic OG style Air Jordan 1 box but you have the inverted color so on the typical box you got the black with the red, here you got the red with the black and on the size tag it reads Air Jordan 1 high 85 black summit white retail was $200 on this shoe and these are a size 13 just for me. Now before we crack open the box I got to show you guys the baby pair I love the way they went about the packaging on this one in particular I feel like they gave it a little bit more character than you would on this style and we'll talk about that a little bit later as I unbox these later in the video but for now let's go ahead and crack this box open. Lifting off the lid right here you got your Air Jordan paper with three different logos on there you got your 23 your Jumpman and your Air Jordan wings logo peeling back that paper you got the white paper that wraps around the shoe and then you got the shoe oh you got the shoe okay now first impressions of this sneaker honestly like I said I think these just might be the best ones to release so far and I'll break it all down in this video but before we do that we got to talk about the history first this is a classic right here back in 1985 we saw the original set of Air Jordan ones hit the streets some of the classics that we all know still to this day Chicago's UNC's black toes shadows breads royals you name it there are a lot of iconic colorways that dropped back then and these were one of them it's crazy to think after all those years we have only seen two different retros to come from this exact colorway and that was the pair that came out in 2008 with the Jumpmans on the back and on the tongues these were part of the CDP pack also released with the black suede 22s I remember companies when they first came out and rockin these over the years and I still love this shoe so you already know I'm excited to have this new 85 cut in my collection we'll talk about styles cut some materials and differences on these a little bit later in the video but we got to keep going with the history over the years the Air Jordan one had always been known to be the classic in the OG because it was the first shoe but there were definitely a lot of different models that came in and took some of the shine when we're talking about the Air Jordan threes from Duncan from the free throw line or the Jordan fours just alone everybody loves that model the fives the sixes when Jordan one his first championship other shoes from different iconic moments and we cannot forget to mention the Air Jordan 11 for a long time the Air Jordan 11 had been one of the most hyped and sought-after sneakers when it comes to a bunch of different colorways but the Air Jordan one in particular had always been releasing each and every year multiple colorways day in and day out you would always see somebody wearing a pair of Jordan ones whether it may be a low a mid or a high somebody had a pair of Jordan ones on in their rotation and I vividly remember back about 15 to 20 years ago when the Air Jordan one mid used to be one of the hottest Jordan ones in the game because we really didn't get the OG high like we do now later in time around the early 2010 era we then started seeing the Jordan one high come back to life but then it had a retro vibe to it so I had a jump man on the back and a jump man on the tongue and no Nike air about five to seven years later we then saw more Jordan one OG highs come out but they were the retro style in the retro cut but that's all a lot of new sneaker heads had known so at the time it was acceptable and everybody loved it either way 2015 rolls around and the Chicago Air Jordan one comes back to life and everybody is loving it simply because it's a classic OG colorway on a OG model and that's the best that we could get at the time and as we all know when the last dance documentary came out years after that prices started to skyrocket Jordan ones became some of the hottest shoes in the game again and next thing you know everybody's going after these shoes but all the OG collectors had always been out there asking when can we get the OG style and the OG cut so fast forward a little bit more and over the past few years we have seen different colorways release of the OG 85 cut and the new modern day in the modern style yes I know this is not exactly like the 85 ones but this is the closest it is gonna get and I think this pair in particular is the best one out of all of them which I will show you guys a little bit later in the video but so far we have had five different colorways released to the public and this is the fifth one that dropped we had the new beginning air Jordan ones we had the reverse bread Air Jordan one the neutral or natural gray Air Jordan one the Georgetown Air Jordan one and now right here the black and white Air Jordan one please don't call them pandas so now that you guys know a little bit more about this basic simple color blocking of a black and white shoe and why it means so much to so many different sneaker heads let's go ahead and start breaking down the styles cut some materials and then we can get into the comparisons between the shoes because you might be shocked when you see the poll results on what people think about these compared to the other ones starting with the bottom of the foot you have your classic Air Jordan one and when I say classic I mean OG 85 classic style Air Jordan one outsole now these are gonna be a lot more narrow around the middle of the foot right here and have a little bit different print and texture when you look at the midsole as well and I'll show you that difference when you see these side-by-side with the 2008 pair because that's a lot more similar to your modern-day Air Jordan one OG high cut now going up to the upper one thing that I can say is when I feel the materials on this pair in particular I think these are the best ones that they have done so far these definitely feel the softest they have a lot more buttery feel and it has that just premium look to it I know the other ones do as well but they kind of almost feel plastic-y just because how stiff the leathers are and how firm it is when you touch it now when it comes to the color blocking pattern on here this is going to be very similar to other color blocking on Jordan one OG's that we have seen as well something like the UNC ones oh man I cannot wait till they drop the 85s in the UNC colorway or the storm blue ones with the 85 cut that's gonna be crazy too but those kind of three right there just give you an example of simple two-tone color blocking on a sneaker clean nice shoe now go into the laces right here these come equipped with a standard pair of black laces and you have an additional pair of white laces I've seen these on foot with both different styles and honestly it looks really good with both the black and the white but I think if you were to lace these up with the white laces I think that might be the better option I don't know let me know what you guys think down below in the comment section another dope addition that I love about these you have the OG hang tag right here and this has the Jordan Jumpman logo from back in the day and then if you open it it has the information Air Jordan one high all the information about the shoe the insole the encapsulated polyurethane insole right here solid rubber outsole and then all the other aspects on the shoe when it comes to the upper and speaking of the insole one thing that I love about these in particular is they have really nice insole not every pair of Air Jordan ones or just Jordans in particular they all don't have the same type of insole they actually did a really good job when it comes to these they're nice and thick and soft and these feel really good on foot another dope aspect to this shoe that I love they have the same OG branding with a sticker on the inside of the insole right here you can peel this off I'm gonna peel it off real quick just so you guys can see and then you have the Nike air right there now let's put that back real quick alright back to dead stock just how we like it now looking at the sticker on the insole right here you got more information about the sneaker and it's interesting when it comes to the date right here in March 29th 1982 this goes back to his college days which doesn't really make any sense because he didn't have Air Jordan's back in college but at the same time this could potentially be some type of Easter egg for sneaker heads on a future release I don't know we'll find out when the time comes so now that we know a little bit more about the sneaker and the details of it let's start comparing it to the other shoes and seeing what the poll results say when everybody else thinks oh yeah and by the way I need the reverse breads in my collection still I got all the other colorways but I don't have those yet so I can't give you guys comparison but that's just a side note for anybody that's trying to hook your boy up size 13 I need them anyways back to the comparisons right here so when you look at the toolbox it does look pretty similar but when you actually feel the leathers on the shoe like I said the black pair feels a lot more soft and buttery than the new beginnings another thing that I didn't mention about the Air Jordan 185 you got your embossed wings logos on the side of the foot and honestly I really love this hit it just feels a lot more premium when it comes to these compared to the og Air Jordan one high retro that we normally get now when you look at the shape of these two shoes right here they are very similar but this is what I want to talk about when it comes to the shape of the other colorways because those start to change a little bit this was the first 85 retro that released to the public now let's talk about the other ones that drop now if you look at the neutral gray Air Jordan one right here these came out a little bit later and these actually change a little bit as well and like I said the materials on these way more stiff compared to the black and white colorway now another thing is going to be different as well you have different materials on this shoe so you got your suede right here and you got your suede around the collar and I think that partially could be something that changed the shape simply because of the material that was used so it does look a little bit more puffy around the ankle and happen to be a little bit more rounded right here on the end and I think that's again like I said have to do a little bit more with the materials on the shoe but it does kind of compromise the shape when it comes to the sneaker and maybe because it's an all-white shoe it does make the shape look a little bit weird as well but I think these ones again are the best example of the 85 cut now when it comes to the comparison against the Georgetown right here you can see it does look a little bit more similar on the backside but the black and white one does look a lot more clean when it comes to the overall vertical back end and this one kind of slants in a little bit more and a little bit more puffier around the ankle area and this wasn't an OG colorway they just decided to put that on the 85 cut giving us that bringing back the nostalgia from when Jordan played against Georgetown which I kind of wish they would have just only done OG colorways on the 85s I know a lot of people love this shoe and when you look at the poll results it's a 50-50 split right now but the fact that these have beaten both the white and red colorway and the white and gray colorway and are a 50-50 and this is simply a black and white shoe that does say a lot as well but again it's all to each his own whichever one you like more let me know down below in the comment section because I mean you can't go wrong with a black and white colorway and the Georgetown it is a clean-ass shoe now comparing these to the 2008 CDP retro you're going to see a lot of differences when it comes to the styles the cuts and materials yet a colorway is basically the same but besides that everything is gonna be a little bit different so let's go ahead and run through this real quick as you can see from the outsoles different outsoles like I said new modern retro style more like the OG when it comes to that midsole same thing the print is different I showed you guys that earlier color block is the same on the upper but the materials are way different the toe cap looks extremely different the laces honestly on the 2008 pair are really really nice for some reason they just never really do these laces these ones are a lot more premium thicker and softer than your typical flat laces that you get so Jordan brand you guys need to bring these laces back in particular I know it's probably a little bit more money but these things are nice now another thing to look at on these two shoes is you got your Nike air and then you have your jump man right here and then again like I said earlier jump man on the back nothing on the back they just did the jump man's on the retro style it was I don't remember how many years they did that for maybe like a six year window or something like that five-year window I don't remember how long it was I have to go back and kind of track the years but either way there was a period in time where they had the retros with the jump man on the back like this so I remember this era good times good memories but we're on to newer bigger and better things so when it comes to the comparison between these two shoes obviously you can see it is a landside everybody's rocking with the 85 cut and again like I said there's reasons why these beat all the shoes just a little bit if the shape and everything is similar to the other ones that's cool but like I said the materials on this one in particular the best one yet guaranteed like if you have these and you have them in hand I'm sure you can attest to it down below in the comment section and tell the people what I'm talking about so before we get into price predictions and everything when it comes to the 85 ones we got to talk about the baby pair because this one in particular is so freakin dope I'm so happy that they did this right here as you can see the box looks like a locker you got the lock right here number one Nike branding it's kind of got that green and it says baby Jordan 85 toddler black summit white 5C I grabbed these out there at all star weekend but look at this bro this is something that is so dope to me they brought back the OG cut of the baby Air Jordan ones so these don't look anything like the baby ones that we see in current time this gives you the exact OG cut check out the midsole it almost looks like a Cortez bro like these things are crazy super dope when I saw these and I had the chance to get them I knew immediately I had to cop I don't remember how much the retail was I feel like it was kind of a little bit more expensive but these things got a leather sock liner on them they got is this leather it looks like it or maybe it's not it's like a little vinyl type of material but either way these things are nice and you got them old school little thin kind of flat rope laces that go with them giving you the OG vibes brah oh my gosh if anybody out there that cop these let me know how you feel about these because the leather on these things is extremely nice everything about the shoe I like these lot honestly I feel like I might like these more than I do the adult pair and don't get me wrong I really like the adult pair but this baby shoe is clean so based on the poll results that you saw throughout the video it was pretty obvious a lot of people do like this pair in particular and I can completely understand why styles cuts materials colorway neutral goes with everything makes sense and then yeah we know the panda dunk is popping right now so this is a great alternative even though these are still going to be a little bit more expensive so let's talk about pricing these are currently going for around 350 bucks I'm a size 13 so again price does vary depending on the size of shoe that you are but I think that they're going to kind of sit right there around that value and hold that and it might go up over time and I think there's going to be a lot of people out there that are going to hold on to these keep dead stock pairs and treat them just like they did back in 1985 and take care of these shoes as you can see I have the whole set I'm missing the reverse braids but I'm trying to keep one of every single one dead stock and then have a second one to wear and I want to be able to hold on these and put them into my collection and see what happens over time not only for value reasons but just off of nostalgia and being able to recreate that collection being a younger collector saying that I was born after 1985 but at the same time I still got love for sneakers and I still want to have that collection and I do want to go back and get those og ones but they're starting to fall apart and they're starting to deteriorate and I get that too so I think there's definitely going to be a lot of people that have that same mindset when it comes to the sneaker and there's going to be a lot of people that want to love it and rock it and have that nostalgia along the way so that's why on a sneaker in particular like this it's definitely a double or triple up type situation because you definitely want to rock one and stock one when it comes to something like this so let me know what you guys think about these down below hopefully that gave you guys a little bit more insight about the sneaker and the history and nostalgia behind it I appreciate you
