The OG Black/Gold I's are about as close as you get to a legend in the sneaker world. Their existence has been confirmed and refuted over the last few years, and even though a few blurry pics exist, with them comes no concrete info. Some say a pair sold for $100K (sorry if my figure is off) years ago.
I've kept a watch out for any info on these for a few years now and either no one knows anything about them or the OG "inner circle" is keeping pretty tight lipped. I bring this up now because a pair was recently put up for sale on eBay with a $198,500 BIN. The auction was ended quickly with no bids, further complicating things and adding to the mystery. To those in the know, please shed some light, it would be a great help in settling one of the biggest questions of early JB history
seller description from eBay auction:
THIS IS 1 OF THE RAREST SAMPLE'S EVER ,THERE WERE ONLY 20 PAIRS PRODUCED IN 1985 AND 5 WERE GIVEN TO COLLECTORS LEAVING 15 PAIRS FOR JORDANS FRIENDS AND FAMILY. THIS PAIR IS IN PRISTENE CONDITION LIKE IT JUST WAS RELEASED YESTERDAY. ITEMS COMES IN 1 OF THE RAREST BOXES ALSO . USUALLY ALL THE 1985 BOXES ARE BLACK WITH NIKE WRITTEN IN RED. EVEN COMES WITH WRAPPING PAPER ! IT IS SZ.9.5 U.S MENS! THERE IS NO SIGN OF CRACKING OR PEELING ,WHICH IS ALMOST A GAURANTEE WITH THE 1'S OR ANY JORDAN OVER 8-10 YRS. OLD.THIS ITEM IS FOR COLLECTING PURPOSES ,I DONT RECOMMEND TO WEAR THESE ,BUT JUST BY LOOKING AT THEM I WOULD THINK YOU COULD .
