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

[kintan]

What do y'all think JB can do after the 14th? Would a number of SNKRS restocks be enough?

I'm curious as to how they're gonna handle the backlash, but it's more than likely that they won't do anything.

Way to celebrate the 40th anniversary, I guess

 

[hydeous]

There will be restock every now and then through out the year to make the illusion of high demand and low supply.

But **** that man. I aint sweating over these if they want us to jump through hoops wnd ****. Ill just get the 8 bugs bunny and the neon 85 air max for the year.

JB already had this plan in place.....they're releasing the consolation prize Black Toes the following day.

Yeah kinda forgot that the BTs are dropping the next day lol. Wouldn't make sense for them to restock the 85s because everyone else has the other pair

I honestly hope that this release backfires on them badly

It won't.

 

[Davey Magoo]

It won't.

Not unless folks follow my suggestion to boycott the black toes.

I didn't follow your suggestion on that and I'm glad I didn't.

Wasn't buying that trash either way

 

[All Ready]

people consistently paying 1.2k for these

def not backfiring

people paying 5x of the $250 they were already complaining about

 

[jordanhead718212]

Clearly the release itself won't backfire as it's hyped and limited.
But if it fails to bring back hype for 1s and Jordans in general, and people aren't fiending like they were in 2013, then it backfired.

 

[JMB10215]

The Chicago 85 highs release will be madness.

There’s a zero percent chance it does. Limiting stock is the only way the perception changes, but if the stock is limited Nike leaves tens of millions of dollars on the table.

You aren’t turning around consumer interest in a model in a few months by limiting product and selling way less than you were when they were saturating retail floors.

 

[forest hills]

The Chicago 85 highs release will be backdoored to hell*

FTFY

 

[vegetaray123]

Only people paying a rack for these is people who are chasing the resell hoping they’ll skyrocket …Resellers eating resellers is what this hobby has devolved into…

 

[kingjoffey]

never thought I would be back here. I see wish ATL on the list are they the only store in ATL getting these? If so, I'm pretty sure they're already sold out.

 

[All Ready]

there weren’t any notable og highs that released to really say jordan 1s fell off

sneaker resell as a whole has tanked as we all know

palominos are the only ones that come to mind and they sold out at a slower rate

Just dumb.

 

[Davey Magoo]

Old Davey finally got a SNKRS dub on some SBs this morning.

…a sign of hope?

 

[whoisthisguy]

I jus don’t see this returning the hype back for JB all together.

I mean for some kicks they will sell out but peeps interest has been changed. I see more ppl wearing Crocs, On Cloud, and Hey Dudes in the wild now. Don’t really see retros on ppl feet anymore.

Nike and JB thinks people want limited and thats not the case.

They will see.

 

[forest hills]

This release will come and go, and Jordan's will continue to sit because the brand keeps flooding the market. Hilarious.

Hope so. JB really hasn’t moved the needle for me in years and from the looks of it, probably will continue.

 

[urn0tlike]

It’ll be interesting to see if they still continue to make countless colorways nobody wants and just limits the stock or if they also cut back on colorways all together.

 

[Otaku]

If these rumors are true I wouldn't be surprised seeing 1K plus. TS 1s are rumored to have tens of thousands of pairs, I can't imagine if these really are under 10K pairs.

Figured they would go for around that much. The low count and the constant reminding by the sneaker accounts that these are low count are pushing people to buy.
