I can't decide if I'm going for them or not. Do I like them, or am I just wanting them for their historical relevance? $250 is steep, and I need to see if the materials are really as quality as what is being said.

Also, the black toe reimagined supposedly release the very next day. Very busy year for Jordan brand.

I think the materials are supposed to be nice, but I believe this is strictly an "exclusivity" deal. They also went over and above on recreating from the original. Took their time doing everything possible to get them right, then charged for it.



I'm going to go for them, and then I'm probably done with Bred colorways. The funny thing is that I am already sitting on pair of the 2020 Banned Mids.

"Jordan Brand concedes that recreating the originals one-to-one here is an impossible task as there was not one consistent height across the original pairs. Back then, Air Jordans came from a handful of different factories, and their output was not identical nor totally standardized."

EDIT: That's just a single excerpt, but from the rest of the article, it sounds like they did their best to make this a good shoe.

This is nuts

To recreate the nylon used on the tongue, designers cut that piece out of a 1985 pair and had a chemist melt it down to examine the chemical composition of the material.

I bet there were chemicals in there that are probably banned today. Either way, that type of attention to detail does increase the likelihood that I'll be going for it.

It's a subscription on CCS for $20/yr. Just increases odds of hitting on drops.

I really hope that limited to 10,000 pairs estimate is grossly underestimated.

Gave in and scored a lightly used pair on eBay. Couldn't walk away but didn't want to pay full price!

0 regrets.

I understand. I haven't worn mine yet, but I've definitely opened the box and looked at them a few times.
