Jordan 1 High Black Toe Reimagined - February 1, 2025

[JMB10215]

Im finally at the point where Im more hungry for the '85 high mold instead of the reguler cut joints. Idk why but in some pics these look like the mids. However on feet these is a go. Ima cop

Was looking at photos of my '16 Black Toes and wished I still had them. I'm still kinda iffy on this release mainly because I wish we'd have just gotten them in an improved '85 High cut and shape. JB could have included the signature by neatly and brightly printing it on the translucent-ish tissue paper that the High '85s have been using instead of the collar of the shoe, so that it's the first thing you see when you open the box. Would have been cool imo. If these are easy I MIGHT try for a pair. I miss my Black Toes.

[allergic2broke]

I'm here for the I'm in now because of the box comments lol

 

[frank mucus]

That box would be a great centerpiece to my fort

 

[engineer]

Now THAT is how you do a box. No stupid sleeve or weird mechanism. Just pure

 

[JRepp23]

In, even if the box was standard. Still pretty cool though.

Can JB also retro the Tshirt please!!

I’ll take the playground shirt too!!

 

[rcjbbp1313]

Lmao boxes. We talkin bout boxes?! That air Jordan instead of wings can kick rocks. It makes them look fake and the shape is not great either. Swoosh could have been reimagined too and maybe look OG? Nah they will buy them anyway -Nike.

idgaf, that box is clean.

Like I always say when they drop a prototype sneaker. There’s a reason they dropped the way they did. These NEED a wings logo. They look meh

Unimpressed

We finally get black tongue black toes, and they do this to them

I don’t mind the Air Jordan, but I could do without the sail midsole.

Lol it is a pretty good troll job considering:

- 2016s had a white tongue, wings logo
- 2023 lows have the black tongue/wings branding correct, but it’s a low
- 2024 has a black tongue, no wings logo

We’re 1-2 iterations of them giving us the proper retro, and even that’s tricky given we have the Retro mold and ‘85 mold

Not to mention the BMPs in ‘07 did it right but those were mid-top. Then the 2013 they do it exactly the same as the ‘16 with a different mold.

If they go back to the black tongue on the ‘85 Retro mold ima give JB a standing ovation for the trolling

 

[headdetective]

Is it even trolling at this point?

JB up to their usual BS

 

[JMB10215]

The sail midsole is kinda wack fasho. That pure white hits different

 

[1978S]

I'd take a sail midsole any day instead of taking away the Wings logo.

 

[Zaheer Al Ghul]

If they went I on sale these would be beaters for me

 

[ill4eva]

Would rather get these at retail than the black/red 1s at retail due to the price difference

Spoiler

I wonder what JB will charge for the Off White Chicagos though. No source, just speculating.

I got to say this from my perspective. This release will only happen once for obvious reasons. Its a retro of THE original prototype Air Jordan. They wont do these again. Its a 40th anny giving tribute to it. For 99 percent, the wings are better. But to me, these are it. Truly understand why they are disliked. As long as I get my sz 11, you can hate the hell out of them.
