Jordan 1 High 85 "Black/White"- February 15th 2023

[headdetective]

Wouldn’t have to pay em.

These cats will do it for a like.

 

[heelsandeers]

Oof. Awful. Thankfully my pair had no qc issues like that.

stinks. but I'd wear em still and forget about it I think

Going to try to return them

If they don’t take it I guess I’ll live with it

Not ocd by any means but that area being so noticeable is annoying

Finally got these in…. I was wrong… these are black laces only!

 

[vinnuendo]

Are these really worth paying the cost(via resale) of 3 pairs of panda dunks.

If you want dunks, get dunks. If you want 1s, get 1s.

Trying to find a pair at 300 shipped. Kinda missed the eBay deal

 

[frank mucus]

panda dunks have trash leather.

These are 100% better, on par with Gucci leather.

How about the original Air Jordan 2 Italian Leather?

Better than Saint Laurent? Versace? Dior?

 

[15 or less]

Only show I'm willing to pay resale for

Shout out too dunksrnice and og or bust for the original comparison. Are these not the best retro of the OGs From nike? The second video shows that the black and white retro 85 are dead on the OG black toe mold which is from a certain factory. And then he showed his viberemakelab issue and compared it to his OG black and white. This picture look like a before and after of someone doing that aged treatment at a glimpse

 

[0takusamsay]

Yeah. I'm 100% doubling up

 

[spiderjericho]

Yeah. I'm 100% doubling up

Gotta do it now at the semi Gucci prices.

Gotta do it now at the semi Gucci prices.

That's the plan fam most of my cops are early in the year and I don't got much else I want in the foreseeable future lol SB IV, Thunder, Cement Gray II, Playoff VIII and I'm good unless they drop another OG colorway 85.

 

[Davey Magoo]

These are cool, but $400 cool?

I don’t know about that.

Which is weird, because for some odd reason I can’t get the Neutral Greys out of my head.

…that might be my next target.

 

[toneloc2002]

These are on my top star for Thursdaythinking of the double

2023 > og. Yep i said it. It’s extremely rare that a retro will be better than the og run, but this is one of those instances.

 

[headdetective]

You woke up with trouble on your mind

Hope you ironed your flame suit lol

Yo breh .. how does this happen? Like what are the requirements or can I apply for this issshh?

 

[vinnuendo]

Always got love for dunksrnice and his photos/videos. One of the best collections and some of the best photos in the game. Looks like a lot of pairs wound up with the same sloppy midsole and outsole paint, where the black meets the white at the lateral forefoot. Oh well.

At this point, you want the shoe or you don't. Prices are probably about that. I think I paid $390. I have a pair of 2014s. But I like the shape of these and the 2014s were the pre-remastered mold.

In the last year, L&F, B/W and Taxis were the best 1s dropped.

I'm pretty sure I applied via their website, there's a link somewhere that you could try idk where it is tho its been well over a year

I actually went to bed with it lol.

On the real though, it’s extremely rare for a retro to at least match the og in terms of quality and looks, but I believe these are one of them. I can only think a handful of others where this was the case. The 1999 BC4, 2001 white/black 9’s, 2004 Bred 13’s, and 2015 Aqua 8 come to mind.

The 2019 Infareds and most recent Concord/Playoff 11’s come extremely close but are just a small notch below their og counterparts. Last years FR3 and Card 7’s up there too.
