While I agree with this sentiment and I think you are right, Jordan 1s are Nike/JB’s bread and butter.

They cost about $20-$30/pair to produce but have a pretty high profit margin due to people seeing them as a higher end item than regular Dunks or AF1s.

I think what will happen is Nike/JB’s will cut production numbers and number of releases on OG AJ 1s while ensuring Mids, etc. are well stocked. This will slowly bring hype back but I don’t think it’ll hit 2020 levels because, quite frankly, the government isn’t handing out people tons of money to do nothing lol

I’m totally in agreement with this possibility too. Jordan 1s are personally the only JB item I’m interested in.
 
If you have the OG’s the collab is just tired at this point, I can’t even recall a Union drop since that was even remotely interesting. To be honest anything with a Chicago theme has been just painfully dull and overdone.

I disagree. Im all in on this release strictly due to having the OGs. It’s a Chicago/Shadow mashup so I’m cool with the colorway & unlike many…. I’m a huge fan of sail midsoles.

These will be added at all costs. Hopefully those that don’t like can pass & make it easier for those that want. But that’s wishful thinking…… 😂

Wow, when you put them side by side those Union/BBS 1s are complete atrocities 💀

What were they thinking putting those out?
 
I agree on the whole them cutting down production numbers and slowing down on OG AJ1 colorway releases..........but ****, Nike said they were going to do that with the Air Force 1s earlier this year.

Last I checked, we're still getting a **** ton of releases of AF1 Lows in the upcoming weeks or so AND we still got the classic all-white & all-black AF1s still sitting on shelves like nothing.

So I have a feeling, they may not cut down production numbers to as much as we all think.........'cuz ****, AF1 releases are still popping up like nothing at the moment too
It’s important to note that 10 years ago we were getting TONS of Jumpman branded mids and highs.

They increased prices and release numbers (and stock) on OG Highs and slowed down production of the cheaper Jumpman AJ 1s.

I think it’s quite likely they push more cheaper mids and less OG Highs, especially since Nike has said they want to focus on moving cheaper products to increase revenue. This also makes sense since they won’t be discounting OG Highs to cannibalize the sales of cheaper AJ 1 mids like what is happening now.

85s are different because they only release a few highs/lows a year. I wouldn’t at all be surprised if we see a run like in the mid 2010s where OG Highs are less available with fewer releases in between.
 
I understand what people are saying, but don't think it's a pure marketing scam/BS. Yes, it was the Air Ship that was initially banned, but consider if he later wore the black and red 1 stating that the Air Ship being banned wasn't relevant. Any lawyer/judge would think you're a freak'n childish moron for not understanding that if the Air Ship was banned, clearly the Jordan 1 would also be banned.

If your kid got in trouble for hitting a kid at school, and later stated that it's OK to hit the 2nd kid they later hit b/c they're diff from the first kit they got in trouble for, any rational person would be schooling that kid how their logic is s**t; they gotta stop hitting kids.

Sure the Jordan 1 wasn't the one that instigated that initial letter, but from a policy ban perspective both of these shoes are basically identical; both were banned.
 
Beautiful shoe! I picked these up when the secondary market was absolutely absurd, however I unloaded quite a few pairs myself to justify the price I paid. Both these and the Pine Green 1.0 are my favorite non og colorway.
This might be my favorite of all the colored toes released thus far. The purple toe just flows so well with the rest of the sneaker and really pops too.
 
They are much better than the 2.0s... which I just might get rid of because I have the Dunk SB Lows that have the CP 1.0 color blocking

I only have the 2.0's which i do like but i just kinda feel they're underwhelming in hand. I've had them since they released years ago and I've barely even worn em. The leather was just ok to me and then I'm not a fan of the leather Nike Air tag on the tongue.
 
is it safe to say Jordan 1 birthed online/App raffles hype releases system prior to that i just remember pulling up and standing inline. Can anyone remember was it the jordan 11? I remember lebron,kd, etc was hot. I know sometime the went from raffle to app and i wanna say it was around the 1 hype
 
Price point $140

Nike High og retail is $170-185 right now I believe. May not be that shoe exactly… and “Hi” normally means the 1cm taller mids with jumpan tongue which I enjoy 😂😂
You're looking at the kid sizes 4-7 at the bottom of the page for $140. At the top it's the same colorway marked for $180. Both sites show a release date for 11/16.

2011 Jordan 11 concord actually started the raffles etc. I remember there being fights at a lot of stores (even mainstream spots like footlocker).

They started doing raffles more after that. It eventually evolved.

As far back as 2012 or so the one was still much more of a niche shoe.
 
Jordan 11 chaos started raffles*


Did Jordan 1s chaos with resellers cause app/online raffles to begin?
I can’t recall what made them go from paper to online/App or if it was just organic evolution through the location locator tool. Anybody can recall the transition


Prior too that I remember FCFS tickets (line up get ticket automatically) week before release or enter paper raffle at each store. I don’t recall entering a raffle at house of hoops for fontay montana 9s i just drove there on release day. I use to call ahead and just pull up to get shoes at the time.

Bred 11s 2012 was fcfs and it was really different then today… ppl were acting like wild animals funny as hell as I reflect
