Jordan Retro 1 '85 Black/Red Feb 14th 2025

[DYNAMICS]

had a feeling these would be limited... there were no videos on youtube or official pics until now...I feel it will be the same limited crap with the galaxy foams

Galaxys will definitely be limited. Just like Pattas and Wu-Tangs.

Knew right away when they were "announced" that they'd be limited. Then when I saw JB flooding the streets with BC3s that confirmed it for me. It's the usual games they play. Flood the block with one cultural classic, make the next one coming out super limited.

Also, the previous 85 Highs weren't mass produced either.

I think the release will be like the recent Olive 9s or Black Toe 14s.

All of the usual spots will have pairs.....but it will feel like they all only got 1 size run and that was that.

I don't believe it's gonna be late 00s-early 10's pandamonium.

As a person who doesn't do raffles often.....I'm gonna be entering them for these.

Sorry to tell ya my man, but you're wrong.

Only a very small number of places in North America will have these (I'm sure many can guess the number).

 

[slaughterx]

They can make them limited if they want, its still as its always been for me which is retail or bust... so they can gone head and do me a favor and save $250.

 

[lexluthor]

All i can say is the number is in the 4 digits

Nah. It Wont.

Great. So less than 10,000 pairs of the first pair of 85 1s worth picking up. With everything dropping this year I doubt most people will even care if they miss out on these. JB sliding further and further into obscurity with their stupid decisions.

I think resell gonna be $750+

I hope
I’m wrong though lol

 

[urn0tlike]

A ******* joke as usual.

 

[dakingii]

Looks like a bunch of us will end up settling for the reimagined black toes . I wouldnt doubt thats why they put the release dates right next to each other. Consolation prize 1s.

 

[jordanhead718212]

EYE won't be settling for that garbage, ya can have those

Yup makes total sense now

They never release like that

 

[suchafraud23]

Don’t care what they say. The collar is incorrect on these

 

[SlamShut]

I’ve had to go the resale route for many sneakers over the years but it’s retail or bust for me. There’s probably like 1985 locations that will even have them and $250 is already ridiculous. Oh well…

 

[iTookanL]

In my mind its a $200 85 retro that Nike is reselling for $250 andddddd it'll be $350 on the other resell markets

I forgot about the BTs. I kept saying that's why they were releasing the 85s and Metallic 5s because the 1s are limited...totally forgetting the BTs drop the same weekend.

Now I’m seeing everyone saying super super limited

Scratch what I said

Even more now smh

 

[iTookanL]

 

[urn0tlike]

They can keep the BT’s even if these weren’t limited. Guess it’ll just be flu game 12s and maybe metallic 5s when I see in person.

 

[da r entertainment]

Beautiful sneaker, but more than likely will sit these out. That price tag is hefty and I'm trying to be more conscious about sneaker purchases this year.

 

[ShoeGod1423]

Shoulda kept these like the normal 85 highs and made the black toes the limited pair

JB sliding further and further into obscurity with their stupid decisions.

And why you have a sub-culture of people who have shifted to the Far East to obtain Jordans.

There’s probably like 1985 locations that will even have them and $250 is already ridiculous. Oh well…

23.

 

[airthompson]

I really cannot stand the fact they used the worst ‘85 factory mold on the heel. I want to say it’s a BY factory from Korea. The upper black feel panel being slim throws off the shape. The ‘23-‘24 1985 retros were good.

I do respect the attn to detail

 

[JMB10215]

This is weak sauce smh

 

[WASHED KING]

This is weak sauce smh

Looks like I'm out then.

Oh well. Glad this news dropped before I sold my 2016's.

 

[JMB10215]

They drop the day before my birthday so I may buy resale as a bday gift. Just depends what they going for.

 

[urn0tlike]

It’s not even annoying anymore, it’ll just save me money cause there are no consolation buys for missing out. I’ll buy what I planned to and if I miss I’m moving on. But decisions like this are why they deserve to lose sales. .
