There are still some good people out there in the sneaker world that enjoy seeing real sneakerheads and fans get a pair they've lusted after for decades. Big thank you to the person that helped Chris get his first pair of the Air Jordan 1 High OG in the 85 cut. We hope you enjoy watching Chris nerd out about them. Thanks for watching and we'll see you soon!

Buy them, you won’t regret it. As of now, these are the cheapest 85s you can buy off the resale market. I’ve been wearing my pair consistently and they’re breaking in nicely. They feel like a completely different shoe overall, from the thick cowhide leather, to the shape and comfort.

@@wwesuperstar1100 It’s an odd fit. The leather on the toebox goes up slightly higher closer to the second eyelet, so you’ll feel it. And the side panels are definitely more narrow. I will say if you’re one of those people who wears them once a month, they’re not for you. I wore mine for two weeks straight and it was barely enough to start creasing the toebox. They are breaking in nicely though.

Okay before anything else, i own a 1985 jordan 1 chicago and as a heads up, the insole is actually much thinner than what the natural grey hi 85 brought. The shoe model is blended with mix parts that each factory back in the day made with their unique variations. It also includes canvas lining, tongue padding is bigger and longer like the ogs, and the best part is the rubber on the outsole is very VERY different from today's jordan 1s.

The Nike Air Zoom Dunkesto comes with a PU insole with a thin heel zoom unit. I put that insole in my hyper turquoise AJ1 low and it’s great. The Dunkesto has an EVA midsole that looks like the rubber cup sole of a dunk, so I just double stack a pair of cheap open cell insoles I have. The upper is neoprene with spacer mesh, so the fit is not affected much because of the flexible upper.
