Jwdanklefs : IMO, I don't think MJ would know more than us about the 85's, but definitely TINKER.H (even if he wasn't the actual designer for them) would be helpful.

Do you mean the one that had the black/gold box also? If so yes that was a fake. A very good one also. So good thing you got a refund.
Trust me he doesn't even know or care to remember. I think Peter Moore is the guy we would need.
This would be an interesting post, I would like to see the difference and pin point how they came so close to the real thing. I do think that someone with close ties to the shoe was making them and that is why most fakes come out of the japanese market. I have yet to see one that was on US soil. Besides that real one that sold for 20k.

Peter Moore exactly ! he would definitely know.
I also believe after being in Japan and seeing some "doctored" shoes in famous shops,
that it is the place they make it. In China, their knowledge of the Jordan is too limited,
and they are more focus on mass production of new Jordan release.

Peter Moore... very good point...
Ok so that pic of the guy in front of the vault is the $20k Jordan 1 blk and gold... What yall are saying is it is to be the ONLY authentic one made from 85?
Also, is it true that exactly 23 authentic colorways of the Jordan 1 were made in 1985?
I understand that little things happened every now and then making some slight varients... Joerdans Tech Challenge V and Georgetown OG1 in a Terminator box, black soles on the black metallic 1s, different color tags or wings logos, blue, white and black colorways and whatever else. I like to think of them as after hours experiments almost. Seems like things in Nike were more lenient then and a factory worker could get a different dye of leather and stamp it out and go make a 1-off shoe in a matter of a few un-attended minutes... So really who knows what all is out there. We know a legit sample, we know a released model, we dont know an un-attended variant made after hours in the same factory...
23 authentic colorways released in 85? and is the $20k blk and gold the only one known of?

The guy holding that pair in the pic told me he thinks a similar pair sold for $25k.
Btw, he auctioned his pair between 2 guys; using a fax, telephone and photos sent in the mail.

jwdanklefs - Great job on those og 1 customs to look like og black toes. Yeah the og black toes are hard to come by now a days. Some people would probably say "Your not suppose to customize jordans" But if you think about it, when do you come across a pair of og black toes?
Ucasta's - Good stuff dude, was looking back at a couple pages, saw how you cleaned the 1's, amazing.
The whole retiredjordans aka Ruben from what I remember from lurking previous posts. All I know is dude scamemd ALOT of people to get the shoes you see now. SMH.
Going through this thread, I probably posted it before, but i'll contribute again.
Not everyday you see a size 4.5 in this colorway.

I am a fan of the og 1's. Nothing else that is "fresh to death". Prob the only pair of ones I'd ever buy.

So for the past 4 years I have been going into this philly joint called Texadelphia and I have seen this pair of neutral 1985 OG Jordan 1s in a display above the bathroom hall entry. They are in pristine condition, deadstock, never been worn and with the original box and hang tag.
Years back, I asked the proprietor of the resturant where they came from, who they belonged to and what the story was behind them. He said they belonged to him, they were size 11 and that a family friend gave them to him years back. He said the man that gave them to him was ex high school basketball Head Coach here in San Antonio. No names, and school names. He said that in '85 a Nike rep came to the school and dropped off a team size run of these shoes for the '85 Varsity squad. The coach did not like the shoe so he never even told the players about them. Basically, they were put in the attic above the locker room and long since forgotten. On down the road and 2 decades later, cleaning of the attic along with the retirement of the coach led to the taking several pairs. The coach stashed a few pairs away and gave one pair to him.
I had asked over the years if he would sell them but he bounces back and fourth between $1500 and not selling at all. Finally, today, Aaron (Ucasta) and I asked an employee if he could bring them down for a better look and if we could get a few shots of them. With out a wink they were off the shelf and out of the case. Aaron and I admired them for while, shot some pics and then let them go back on the shelf. It was a nice day...
Oh yeah by the way, they weren't sz 11, they were actually sz 10... We were lied too!!!
