Air Jordan OG 1 HIGH ‘85 “Georgetown”

[85ROY]

Off topic but has anyone ever successfully gotten one of these boxes to open by pulling where it says pull? Farthest I’ve gotten is to the third perforation.

I unzipped mine all the way on this box. I stopped for a second and said to myself; “I don’t think that’s happened before.” Then quickly went back to the shoes. Ha

These are a 8.5/10

I don't know why but this she is underwhelming to me in person. I was excited for them when I saw pics and then hit on SNKRS but now that I have them...It's something...'meh' about them....

Cash out the !

First pair of 85s I threw straight to toe (have NGs on the ice), went tts, been rocking them for a week nonstop and I guess because of higher leather where tongue begins and my high *** instep they are killing me where my toes start, never have that with other 1s... anyone with the same issue?

Luckily my UPS driver tapes that pull tab thing

A foot can fix that. He should just sell them for retail to someone retail. I would say 1 thing back in the day before needing an account in good standing to possibly win raffles I would have called Nike used that pic and gotten a coupon.

I think that’s more common than not. At least for me it is. I’m always hyped to be getting a shoe and when I get it, it doesn’t seem to live up to the expectations I had for it. The material quality is usually to blame but I remind myself that I’m buying overpriced, overhyped and cheaply made Jordans. I keep coming back so it’s not bad enough to completely turn me off.

It’s probably the really thick insole, which will take time to mold. I threw in EasyFeet insoles and even those are slightly thinner, just enough to make it a much better fit in the toe box. Maybe take a standard AJ1 insole and swap it just to see if it helps?

Need to get .5 size up next time. Or switch out the insoles like CNola mentioned

You can also try stuffing the toebox with socks and applying heat with a blow dryer for 15-30 seconds, allow it to cool. Repeat the process until you get the results you want.

I was more excited to get my pair of cardinal 3s from the restock

I guess it is all about what you like

Yeah that might be it, I just swapped it with "normal" AJ1 insole and it feels way better, have one pair of AJ1 that is 0.5 size up so the thicker insoles might be ok in them, thank you and CNola

Might have to trade for these

"On FedEx truck for delivery"

Ordered 13 days ago on StockX...first seller flaked on me...

Did some comparisons last night and Interesting that I have two pairs of normal 1's that are higher in cut than these Georgetowns.... weird but I guess I was expecting major height increase

What two pairs were those?

Same size, right?

Yep, same size - one higher was the '16 Storm Blues. Also my ‘94s.

Edit:

 

[jaynev]

16 storm blues were literally the highest

If those are DS that’s a damn shame ..smh

 

[wizards23brown]

Is it just me or is the ankle collar taller on the georgetowns than the previous ‘85s??

 

[85ROY]

Really enjoying breaking these in.
