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

[forest hills]

Man I wish I had 5 pairs of OG colourway Jordans.

Instead I'm sitting on 5 pairs of dj khaled 5s...the orange ones, and six pairs of gratitude 11s.

At least I have 5 pairs of the lebron 15 x kith, 5 pairs of off white Chicago 2s, and 4 pairs of the 2011 banned 1s

You once said sneakers are an investment. People in here tried to laugh at you but they'll see. One day those dj khaled 5s are gonna be worth a new Mercedes.

Maybe if they fix the toe.

Worth hanging onto 2016 pairs?

Worth hanging onto 2016 pairs?

Shiiiiiiiiiiid, mine aren't going anywhere. Unless you got 5 pairs like 'Ol Khaled 5's guy up there, 2016's are lifetime beaters.

 

[crazy ebw]

I can’t see anyway that these aren’t a super GR…

 

[B_man71]

I hope they drop the OG sweatsuit to go along with em'....

 

[hydeous]

Hope they reimagine these with suede lol

 

[frank mucus]

For some reason 5 pairs of the Lebron 15 kith joints has me in tears

Investments!

 

[Liquid Swords]

Investments!

Investment for what, patches repair rips and tears for your couch?

 

[djpaul23sabong]

JB pls give us the toe box that looks like Nike Dunks.

 

[Bert.]

Magic, you’re a smart guy. Now why you wearing any that 2013 over the 2016? You a wild boy.

Meh 2016 color is ***

I’ll take the red one the 2013 all day and I don’t even mind the mold

I actually sold my 2016 not too long ago. The dark red, the glitter all over. Yuck

 

[Kierris]

Gotta be the most overused gif on this site. Y'all cats gotta stop saying you're retiring because we all know it's not true

 

[lynchpin33]

I know they better get the paint right and not have that glitter ish show up in the paint months later.

Was watching a Jordan brand video a while back. The way they justified it was that is how you tell if your pair are authentic. Sounded like the person was taken by surprise by the question and bs’d the answer. They didn’t know the leather they used would glitter up like that.

If it does happen

I doubt that is the real reason for it

Nike's investors wanting better profit margins probably got more to do with it.

The smoke screen is the 40 year anniversary of Jordan Brand. Bringing back shoes they know will move and not go to discounts and sit on shelves, in order to raise profit margins is the real reason. Just simple business.

Finally.. watch them be limited.

 

[ill4eva]

Didn’t Nike mention they plan on releasing more popular silhouettes/colorways but less stock? Is it possible we just get more OG colorways next year but with less stock for each model?

 

[xRuck]

Gonna try for 1 pair at retail as I dont own em. But wont trip if I dont catch a W. Id rather have the storm blues.

 

[Kim Fatty the Third]

Just need one pair. Sold my 2016’s and all my 1’s from that time period. Got tired of wiping the glitter off.

 

[hitman243]

only issue is 85 highs are always limited
never hit on any before, not expecting to next year
ebay it is

 

[ALNotSure]

need

I thought they said less SKUs. I assume that would mean more stock per SKU.

So these, bred 12s, and metallic 5s so far for next year. Wonder what else they have in mind. Charcoal 7s and 9s are WAY overdue. I will almost certainly double up on the next charcoal 7 release if they are anywhere near as good as the last Cardinals. White infared 6 as well would be nice.

 

[Davey Magoo]

I'm absolutely, definitely going to get a pair of these...whatever it takes.

Maybe even double up.

That being said, I think there's almost no chance that I'm going to like them as much as the 2016s.

 

[OldManJays]

I only buy 85’ mold 1s as my personal rule, I was lucky enough to snag a pair of the black/whites. Love em. Bred 1s in the 85 mold is simply going to be one of those shoes I will be willing to pay resale for. Probably the only 1’s I’d do that with.

If we're talking nostalgia but still having hype, Raptor 7s and any OG 10 colorway is overdue imo

Oh and even though I don't like the shoe personally, Black and Chrome 2s?
