@@EonHSD a local store in Nashville called ROOTED or stay-rooted.com btw they do raffles for most Jordans/dunks/blazers/adidas shoes/stussy/stone island/etc and you only pay if you win, btw it’s a retail store so you pay retail prices for items(so for the 1s I’m paying $200+tax, most of the times they ship tho just not for this raffle/draw bc it was for locals only) and not resell prices
Can’t wait ! I’m shocked I haven’t heard anyone who knows the OGs talk about how the original Natural Grey 1s have a grip tape swoosh and here we get suede. Not complaining but something I’ve noticed
The numbers on the inside of the collar next to the size are the production date. 20- 2020 08- August to 09- September XC- is the factory the sneakers were manufactured in.
I’m glad to see you’ve elevated your trousers/ pants attire for the past few months. I’ve said it time and time again, that Jordan 1s along with Dunks (and numerous other silhouettes to mention) look more refined with quality trousers. Either tapered and cropped, or straight/ wide and cropped. Please, please, please stay away from joggers, sweatpants, the infamous H&M zipper pants (just zipper pants/ denim in general) like pretty much 99% of all other shoe CZcamsrs wear, because quite frankly the hype-boy look needs to be consigned to the landfill sight to never be seen again. Keep up the good work brother 👍
If memory serves me, the 200809 is the year and months the shoes were made. So 20 is year 2020, made during 08-09 (August - September), and the XC represents the factory location (Guangzhou, Xiaoping). Really hope I get myself a pair for retail, if I don't, hope resell isn't too high.
A year later and Ive sold most of my J1 highs to make space for NBs 😅 kept these, the black toes, and the UNCs and I think that's a testament to how great these are. They are aging phenomenally
These are so simple yet so 🔥! If we can actually go anywhere this summer these are going to get broken in. Had to re-watch your Reverse Bred and NBP reviews for the sizing advice before putting in the bid on StockX LOL
I'm an OG head and have a pair of original 1985 Bred 1s as well as some other 80s Nikes in the same style. Any 80s Nike with a rubber sole was board lasted back then, just like these. Other models that had air bubbles or full poly midsoles (4s, 3s, etc.) were not board lasted and just had a scratchy plastic/fabric thing instead.
Great vid and review as always! I'm so sick of ignorant dumbasses saying the leather on these is trash. Thank you for setting the record straight. These are FIRE and can't wait for Chicagos and Breds to release in this true OG 85 version.
So I waited for years checked on these daily on StockX and GOAT and I said when they’re finally a decent even price like $235-$250 max I’ll pull the trigger well today on GOAT they had a brand new pair albeit damaged box for $207 and they were already pre verified by goat I paid $240 all in all what a win!!
XC is the factory name just like the OG 1985 pair (pretty sure it will be the owners initials of the factory as that is what they did with the 1985’s) FYI my 1985 Chicagos are board lasted for future ref 👍🏻
Don't own a pair but glad to hear they fit longer and narrower. This how original Air Jordans fit, wrapped the foot nicely. They make em all wide and bulky now
I was fortunate enough to cop the high 85 reverse breds for retail so hopefully I'll get a W on these to add to my collection. Definitely not worth the hyped up resellers prices so I'll pass if I get the L. Great video and review. 😁👍
If anyone needs to be educated on leather, I would give Rose Anvil a watch. He dissects shoes on CZcams. Very knowledgeable guy, especially when it comes to leather. His video on Shattered Backboards is a great watch.
XC is the factory I believe. I noticed when taking the soles off other retro 1s there is a XC embossed at the bottom of the cup sole. I.e. ogs that had a TY stamp was from the tong yang rubber company.
These look really fantastic....but just looking at them hurts my feet. When Sean mentioned the stiff thick leather I can't help but remember the sensation of sliding my feet into a pair of AJ1 mids; not pleasant :(
I prefer white clean lookin kicks. Might gonna go for it, wish the prices weren't so expensive, StockX (€480 in my sz). Haven't kept up with this yrs releases, as much as last year. Not knowing how limited this releases was, if the prices will drop (secondary market)? I do like the Unc (black/blue), the Hyper Royal Smoke Grey, that will be releasing upcoming months.
Sean, fellow NikeTalk member, would you say that the main area of potential discomfort in the shoe is the middle section, because the shape is more narrow? …as opposed to the toe box.
these are my only pair of 1s rn. i run a size 13 and feel like they could be slightly wider cuz my feet are wide. when i order my next pairs of jordans, should go up to 13.5 or will 13 probably fit my feet better than these?
Got a pair of Carmines lined up so I’m gonna be good this month regardless. These may be OG but are pretty boring to me. I’ll be hoping for the Clot 14 Lows instead!
I've always been confused why people say its a "better" leather but it feels a lot stiffer on feet. To me a good leather would be something thats supple and doesn't pinch your feet at all, like the SBB's/TS1's/Sails etc. What is it about the thicker cut of leather that makes it...better?
Every single time Sean...I cannot believe how you keep doing it. Your sneaker photos are absolutely beautiful.
Haha thank you!!! Appreciate the love ❤️
Literally was about to write the same thing. I've always wanted this sneaker but after this video I feel like I can't live without it lol.
That's exactly how I feel, bro
for real bro this guy knows what hes doing fo sho
Ditto
The most relaxing shoe reviewer in YT
Hahah
I do agree.
Love the thumbnails too!
Elegant!
So true, I feel the rest of reviewers scream at me.
Your channel is different from other creators. No stupid faces/reactions and non Hypebeast outfits. Love you channel I’m a fan
Thank you!
@@SeanGo keep the hard work! Waiting for the next video haha
These are tough. Forget the hype and all that. These are everyday wears in the summer for me!
Good luck getting that W!
@@dadasha lol I just won a raffle for them, imma pick them up later today
@@AoNti_ damn, congrats. Where?

Got these in '86. Been waiting a while for this retro 😆. Great details, thx for the review!
Crazy! Must be extra special for you
Can’t wait ! I’m shocked I haven’t heard anyone who knows the OGs talk about how the original Natural Grey 1s have a grip tape swoosh and here we get suede. Not complaining but something I’ve noticed
Who else has to watch Mr.Go’s review before copping😁😁 🐐
Haha thx brother 🤝
I did for sizing as he is pretty much the same as me for all shoes. Unfortunately won no raffles on these.
The numbers on the inside of the collar next to the size are the production date.
20- 2020
08- August to
09- September

Legit best sneaker review channel. Thank you for doing what you do bro! We as fans and viewers appreciate the quality and content! Much love!

Think the XC is supposed to represent the Factory like how the 85's had factory name marked as well.
👀👀👀👀👀👀
paid resell. one of the best 1s ever and long overdue it was retro’d
If memory serves me, the 200809 is the year and months the shoes were made. So 20 is year 2020, made during 08-09 (August - September), and the XC represents the factory location (Guangzhou, Xiaoping).

Copped on SNKRS app. Got delivered today and I’ve got to say they look so much better in hand. I’m afraid to even wear these bad boys.
A year later and Ive sold most of my J1 highs to make space for NBs 😅 kept these, the black toes, and the UNCs and I think that's a testament to how great these are. They are aging phenomenally
they look good with age? ive seen people say they crease nice unlike normal aj1’s
Been obsessed with these for awhile and I might have to finally get them. So excited to break in that quality leather and have them shape to my feet 🤤
Retail or bust. A dope alternative are the nike dunk platinums if people catch an L. Dope review as always Sean!
These are so simple yet so 🔥! If we can actually go anywhere this summer these are going to get broken in. Had to re-watch your Reverse Bred and NBP reviews for the sizing advice before putting in the bid on StockX LOL
Thank you for giving detailed sizing info! Nobody's doing reviews to your level
Just bought them from stockx. I have been waiting for these for years. Thanks for the review Sean 🔥
These are clean. Can’t compare to any shoetuber who displays their shoes better than Sean.💯
The best reviewer on CZcams period
This is what the collar codes mean:
10 (size) 200809 (production date - 2020 August 9) XC (Nike factory code)
I'm an OG head and have a pair of original 1985 Bred 1s as well as some other 80s Nikes in the same style. Any 80s Nike with a rubber sole was board lasted back then, just like these. Other models that had air bubbles or full poly midsoles (4s, 3s, etc.) were not board lasted and just had a scratchy plastic/fabric thing instead.
Hit on these this morning. Can’t wait to open them 🥲

🤝🤝🤝🤝
BS how SNKRS instantly crashed and said “sold out” even before getting a chance to check out.
Yup, same happened to me too
I was denied buying at 7:01am! What a scam.
I Wear a 12 n got an 11 1/2. They are Perfect like dress shoes. I Wear light /thin / dress socks. Underrated shoe for 2021.
So I waited for years checked on these daily on StockX and GOAT and I said when they’re finally a decent even price like $235-$250 max I’ll pull the trigger well today on GOAT they had a brand new pair albeit damaged box for $207 and they were already pre verified by goat I paid $240 all in all what a win!!
I would love to see in in depth comparison between the 1s we get today and the 85 cuts.
XC is the factory name just like the OG 1985 pair (pretty sure it will be the owners initials of the factory as that is what they did with the 1985’s) FYI my 1985 Chicagos are board lasted for future ref 👍🏻
Good to know!
Don't own a pair but glad to hear they fit longer and narrower. This how original Air Jordans fit, wrapped the foot nicely. They make em all wide and bulky now
You’re the best sneaker reviewer imo
🙏🙏🙏
beautiful shoe, great photos and review
Need need need. Gonna have to double up. One pair to keep cleaner and one pair to beat up.
I was fortunate enough to cop the high 85 reverse breds for retail so hopefully I'll get a W on these to add to my collection. Definitely not worth the hyped up resellers prices so I'll pass if I get the L. Great video and review. 😁👍
Just hit these grails on SNKRS! ❤ Great review as always Sean
🤝🤝🤝🤝
@@SeanGo lucky 😭😭😭
I prefer the metallic navy but your on feet makes these look real good. Will probably grab some for resale
love your videos man. Great review with tons of detail and knowledge. Hit my size on SNKRS excited to put em on foot!
If anyone needs to be educated on leather, I would give Rose Anvil a watch. He dissects shoes on CZcams. Very knowledgeable guy, especially when it comes to leather. His video on Shattered Backboards is a great watch.
Love his work
I’m tryna be optimistic about tryna cop from SNKRS tomorrow but I can already feel my L looming in the distance 😑
Same brother😔
@@caseysalazar1084 bro I was served a swift yet vicious L today SNKRS app is cancer
I was so confident I would take an L I actually slept on the drop 😌
I got super lucky and hit on them early on SNKRS and I absolutely love them so I’m chillin but good luck to all of you tomorrow
These are perfect to me. Hoping the price comes down a little at some point soon.
I can't believe I hit on these this morning! So excited to get these.
Amazing!
Never heard of your page before but solid video. Keep it up.
Finally got lucky on SNKRS and scored. Plan on selling it but your video is making me change my mind and might keep it for myself 🤣🤔
i love every your videos bro, im waiting for the 6s carmine. Please.
These are actually 🔥
i love the white laces more as well.
I’m waiting for this review all day long, finally I can now go to sleep. 👍
Man if I take an L, straight to stockx for the resell xD sole savy members are rubbing off on me
Ahaha 🤣
XC is the factory I believe. I noticed when taking the soles off other retro 1s there is a XC embossed at the bottom of the cup sole. I.e. ogs that had a TY stamp was from the tong yang rubber company.
Interesting
Sean always packing heat Literally 🔥
Great review man ! Can you ID those pants you're wearing in the on-feet?
Great video as always 👌🏼🔥
Sizing guide starts at 4:55
7:00 dang is that Brad Hall modelling the on feet? 😁
These are fire my dude
I was Retail or Bist, but this video might sway me to up that a little bit...
These look really fantastic....but just looking at them hurts my feet. When Sean mentioned the stiff thick leather I can't help but remember the sensation of sliding my feet into a pair of AJ1 mids; not pleasant :(
Gotta pick up a pair of these
🤞 snkrs just this one please
Thanks for the awesome review👌
XC is ones of Nike’s manufacturers partners Rong Guangzhou group in Guangzhou China
They should've done the same leather they used on the Sylvesters
Did you get the white Notre Dunks? I really like those and hopefully you can do a review soon?
Took an L, but bought a pair from Stockx when prices crashed LOL
love the reviews bud keep it up! u mind me asking where you get your early purchases from?
I just pay resale from resellers, StockX etc
I kinda wish I woulda copped when they were listed for $350 the other day in my size on goat. Feel these are gonna be hard to cop
These pairs are fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Retail pair only for me . Not spending resale 😅
I prefer white clean lookin kicks. Might gonna go for it, wish the prices weren't so expensive, StockX (€480 in my sz). Haven't kept up with this yrs releases, as much as last year. Not knowing how limited this releases was, if the prices will drop (secondary market)? I do like the Unc (black/blue), the Hyper Royal Smoke Grey, that will be releasing upcoming months.
Gotta catch a W on these. Rumor has it nobody will cop any Jordan 1s today though...
On the OG 85's the XC or 2 letter on the lining indicated the factory they came from. Not sure if that is the same w the modern version.
Do we think the thick leather will wrinkle faster? What are your thoughts
The best sneakertuber in the world!
🤝
I took a L. These were originally just retail only for me but debating if I wanna pay resell. Only if they get close to $300 range.
Can you do a review on the jordan 1 low bred that came out for Chinese New Year?
On the fence about paying resale for them. At some point they'll retro these again, I might be 50, but it will happen.
Dope video! Liked and subscribed. What kind of pants are those if you don’t mind me asking?
They’re from Uniqlo!
Boom! Grails! 🔥
ima need these 🔥 wish me luck! LOL
Caught my first ever W on theseeee!!
Sean, fellow NikeTalk member, would you say that the main area of potential discomfort in the shoe is the middle section, because the shape is more narrow?
…as opposed to the toe box.
middle section and where the laces start, as opposed to my actual toe area
@@SeanGo Does the narrow middle section loosen over time?
...thanks for the response.
Should have gone a half size down in these mine are too long tts
Neutral Grey’s or Ying Yang white’s? Also what season would you rock these?
Neutral grey! Perfect in spring / summer!!
@@SeanGo thanks for the response, also thanks for these reviews. If I need to know how a shoe fits ur the man for the job🙏💙
If Sean don't review them I probably not buying 😌
these are my only pair of 1s rn. i run a size 13 and feel like they could be slightly wider cuz my feet are wide. when i order my next pairs of jordans, should go up to 13.5 or will 13 probably fit my feet better than these?
I like these but almost $500 resell price is crazy
Got a pair of Carmines lined up so I’m gonna be good this month regardless. These may be OG but are pretty boring to me. I’ll be hoping for the Clot 14 Lows instead!
Ready for resell market. Need size 10.5 x2
I've always been confused why people say its a "better" leather but it feels a lot stiffer on feet. To me a good leather would be something thats supple and doesn't pinch your feet at all, like the SBB's/TS1's/Sails etc. What is it about the thicker cut of leather that makes it...better?
Check out Rose Anvil on CZcams who’s a true Leather expert.
Nice attention to detail with this review. I can tell Sean did his homework here. 👍👌
I try lmao
Need a miracle to cop these for retail
XC is the production warehouse. These were produced in Xichang China
Also OGs were board-lasted
Question why is the sticker inside the shoe on the color topic White/Red/Black?
Bes Regards
Is it worth to trade an extra pair of Univ Blue for this pair? Or a Mocha for a Balvin?
I am completely fine with my blazer neutral grey worth 59 usd from nike...
Clean. Took a big L on these but man they're so nice.
Dig the review
silver button incominggg
Sean 🐐
I got these with early access
