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



"At some point in the creation of the Air Jordan 1 High 85 retro for this year, Jordan Brand employees paused to ask themselves whether the devotion to the minutiae of shape and leather thickness were worth the effort. Will people know? Does it matter?"



They playing dumb like they don't know NTers exists. :smh: :lol:

🤷‍♂️

“Will people know? Does it matter” = Jordan brand S.O.P.
 
Why didn't JB fix the collar material? Why didn't they paint the foam black like the Original?

I think you’re mistaken man. Originally the collars were the foam coated in the synthetic vinyl. I think you are referring to typically speaking most 1985 pairs have cracked collars at best and most if not all of the vinyl coating has worn away… hence why restorers will paint the collar foam back black.

The retros look to be the exact same as 1985 pairs in that regard.

My originals collars have held up quite good, but they’ll need restored eventually.

@ JB take notes
 
Noticed the tone in here has changed a lot quite noticeably since more pics came out. I thought these were "terrible" and "butchered"? :lol

These look solid. Told ya to just wait.
Naw..most of us have already checked out of this release, things might change if it’s a wider release but it’s not looking good. The heel and collar still looking ridiculous, but you’d be a moron to pass on this release if they fell in your lap.
 
Strictly speaking about how the shoe looks. I understand the checked out attitude towards the release details and numbers, cuz it's deflating.
 
I think they look great but for what we’d prob have to pay if you don’t strike gold it’s not worth it.
 
Trophy Room posting about these.....

Release is cooked


So they finally put in the effort they lied about putting into the Remastered effort

And they are gonna charge a huge mark up, and limit the amount of pairs so most of the people that have been waiting for such a release won't be able to get them.

Seriously, **** JB.
