Air Jordan 1 HIGH ‘85 "Neutral Grey" - Early 2021

[hpb1227]

My pair is headed to Goat for authentication as we speak. Cannot wait to break these in!

 

[Velvetgrizzly]

pair should be here by the end of the business week.
will decide if they are worthy of an additional pair upon arrival.

The toebox controversy is blown out of proportion.

Gray laces are it on these

Just put a $400 offer in on eBay, we’ll see what happens..

Well after 3 months of searching and tormenting myself I finally caved and bought my 11.5 off eBay. Most I’ve ever paid for a shoe by far, interested to see if I have buyers remorse even though I have the nostalgia of owning back in 1985.

How much?

 

[3thaman]

How much?

I low balled every reseller in North America and gave in at $450. $508 after tax and shipping.

I was about the pull the trigger at $500 yesterday but a used 11.5 popped up on the GOAT app for $415 so I pulled the trigger and used some credit. Was planning on wearing so saving the $85 seemed worth it as these looked to be in pretty good condition outside of slight toebox creasing and some dirt on the bottoms which should clean up nicely. How did I do?

 

[dhtowng]

Gotta be DS for that much but that’s just me.

Damned if you do damned if you don’t, I was planning on waiting it out for a used pair but couldn’t do it. If they’ve not been worn a lot like you said you saved $85.

 

[3thaman]

Did we ever get a true production count on these? Was it really just 23,000?

 

[3god]

For $85, id rather have brand new, especially when you’re already paying nearly $500 after tax and ship.

That was the Black/Red.

 

[3thaman]

That was the Black/Red.

What’s your guess <100,000>?

 

[3god]

No idea, man. What does it matter? The price is reasonable considering the market we are in, regardless of numbers. Buy em if u like em.

Yeah the pricing on these is surprisingly low for a pair of 1s with simply color-blocking in the post-TS/OffWhite/ESPN documentary era, let alone an OG colorway retro'ing for the first time.

I concur.

 

[Velvetgrizzly]

fire shoe, but my initial impression is nothing about it warrants an additional pair.
I will see if that sentiment changes with some wears.
satisfied with the pickup nonetheless.

Scooped these recently to go along with the 85s

Going to take a while to get over the price I paid but this is a nice shoe. Big difference from the OG High mold and I agree they are built close to the 95 retros. And I have no problem with the toe on these. Glad to have them again brings back good memories from Highschool ball.
