vault gold air jordan ones i'm excited to bring you guys a review today so let's go
ahead and crack these things open and see what they're talking about

much so we got a few things to go over in today's review so i'm gonna make sure that
i try to get through it quick but make sure i'm comprehensive at the same time so let's
go ahead and get into it so two shoes that i will be using in today's comparison will be the ajko
chicago air jordan 1 and the biohack air jordan 1 from last year's release starting with the
box you have your classic og style black and red air jordan 1 box with the lift top
looking at the size tag it reads air jordan 1 retro high og white black volt retail 170 bucks
cracking open the lid of the box right here you have your classic white paper
and then you got the shoe oh you got the shoe okay first impressions of this sneaker
i'm still like uh i don't know i'm on the fence i i was on the fence from the get-go and i'm still
on the fence right now i like it i don't like it i love it i hate it i don't know we're gonna
talk about my opinion later in the video starting with the outsole you have your classic air jordan
1 all black outsole right here working our way up to the midsole you have kind of like a sail
kind of like of an off-white type midsole right here with the same color stitch compared to the
upper right here on the leather you can clearly see that you have a pure white with the leather
kind of like a beige kind of off-white right there on the midsole some people like that they say that
gives the shoe a vintage vibe let me know what you think about it down below in the comment section
looking at the materials on the upper now we have a leather all throughout the top and on the strap
right here but one thing that already stands out huge to me is like this foam pad around the edge
right here around the collar and i never really saw that with pictures online and now i really
don't know how i feel about that it's basically like an exposed like sponge or foam right here and
honestly i feel like this is going to get dirty really really fast people are going to be loving
the shoe now and then once they start wearing it i think this is going to get dirty and i think
that might be a problem that a lot of people have and the next thing you know it's going to be all
dirty around the back end and you're like bro i don't even know if i want to wear it no more
that right there is one huge thing that sticks out to me that's kind of making me not really
want to have the shoes like to wear but i don't know let me know what you guys think besides from
that you have a black leather pretty soft not too bad on the white leather a little bit firmer i'm
not mad at it either way it's a classic air jordan one retro from 2021 so you're gonna get what you
get when it comes to the quality of materials even though it's a synthetic leather it's okay people
are still gonna like it so i'm not really driving about it that much another thing that really
sticks out to me right here is the neon stitch around the orange or gold whatever you want to
call it heel cap around the back side it almost gives me like that cosmic bowling feel like your
shoe is lighting up in the black light except for it's in the natural regular light so i don't know
it's kind of a cool like look i'm not exactly sure if that's a thing i really like or not but i'm not
mad at it working our way up to the flaps right here which i will be comparing to the ajko in just
a sec but we have a lime green volt whatever you want to call it flap right here around the edge
and then you have your air jordan branding with the wings logo here in all black and just around
that you have a black piping that wraps around the entire foot right here clean little look i think
that gives it a nice contrast with the wild colors going to the tongue this is something that is very
very interesting you got that vintage old school vibe it's really like creamish and off whitish
kind of like you know it's looking like it's been aged and then you got like this new modern look
right here with this clear nike air tab but it's backwards and they put that on the inside and
i'm not exactly sure where they were going with that concept i think a lot of people love it a
lot of people hate it and me i'm on the fence of not really digging that style because i do love
seeing the nike air branding on the front of the tongue and just like on this one how they have a
little bit of a twist on the tongue they have the same thing with the biohack air jordan one they
switched it up just a little bit with the nike air branding on the tongue right there as you can
see the difference between the two not like your classic og style i'm not mad at it they're trying
to freak it out and twist it up and get something a little different for us so you know i can't hate
on it because they're trying to be creative but for me personally if they started retro in all
the shoes like this i would not be happy looking at the sock liner you have an all black sock liner
with a white insole and a lime green nike air on that and now let's talk about the material
and the cut of the shoe because as you can see this is not the standard cut that you would get
you have a similar vibe with the ajko here on the straps now like i was talking about earlier
the ajko air jordan 1 is just a og classic and i always think of flaps on the side of an air jordan
1 coming from that originally so that causes me to think anything like off-white or you name it
rookie of the year even though it's not configured the exact same with the flaps on the air jordan
one i always think of ajko so on here you have the same thing with the piping all around it except
for this one says ajko and then on this one you just have your classic air jordan with the wings
logo here so for me that's just ajko vibes all day let me know if you think that's the same honestly
i feel like it's the same vibe but they don't call it ajko because it's a different type of shoe and
the way the shoe is configured and all these other factors but so i also posted a poll on instagram
to see what the people think which one do you like more the ajko or the vault gold and this is what
they said 72 percent chose the ajko and 28 chose the volt gold now if you haven't already make
sure you follow me on ig so you can participate in the polls as well and we'll also have some
more results later in the video with different comparisons and then also what people think
the shoe is either fire or trash next up we have the biohack air jordan 1. so this one right here
same thing with the flaps which i think originally came from the ajko but like i was talking about
earlier with the tongue right here as you can see they gave us a couple little differences that we
don't typically get on the air jordan one so i'm not mad at it i do personally prefer the biohack a
little bit more i like the color blocking i really love the materials how well they did on this one
because this one i don't know when it comes to like the lucky green air jordan one i wasn't a
fan of that i don't like the way they cut the shoe and how they stitched it inside the leather line
i don't know for some reason it just didn't hit home for me so these fell into that category and
that's what caused me to not really like these as much as maybe other people like them which which
is okay we all can like whatever we want to like i appreciate the shoe i definitely respect it but
i can't say it's the top of my totem pole or my top 10 or top 20 air jordan ones that i
own or whatever so it's a cool shoe don't get me wrong but at the same time again i'm just
not digging how they cut the materials as you can see right here this is your classic og style cut
and stitch when it comes to the air jordan 1 and i just like this way way more so i did another poll
on instagram as well to see what people think 58 chose the biohack and 42 chose the volt gold
again let me know what you think about these down below in the comment section
these two sneakers are definitely a change of pace when it comes to color blocking styles
materials and just overall concept behind the shoe so as you can see right here a lot of people are
50 50 and i'm on the same exact boat i don't know if i love it i don't know if i hate it at the end
of the day i'm glad i got the shoe for retail because it's already going for more than retail
i'm excited to have it in my collection just for diversification of air jordan ones because
we always have so many different shoes that are very similar when it comes to materials
and color blocking and everything like that so this is like a toe style with a major twist with
a new era kind of hip i think this is really more catered to a younger demographic i'm not
exactly sure let me know what you think about that aspect as well i think a lot of younger people
definitely would appreciate this kids in middle school or high school uh definitely will really
take advantage of a sneaker like this with the wild colors and everything i know a lot of older
people typically like to go with more conservative color blocking styles and colors in general so
this is definitely a loud shoe i'm not mad at it i have some other wild sneakers in my collection
but again one huge fear that's making me not really like them as much as simply that ankle
collar the material around that that's gonna get really really dirty and i know it so this sneaker
is selling for around 200 210 220 bucks right now a little bit over retail so a lot of people asking
me a question hey dj what do you think about this shoe what's gonna be the value should i sell it
now should i keep it sell it later all those different things i think this shoe right here
is an average sneaker i think maybe maybe there is a chance where it could potentially pop off
and down the rhine be 450 shoe but in my mind in what i see and how i feel i think this shoe
could be you know 250 300 bucks you know way way down the line and you know it creeps up over time
typically like all other air jordan retros do but i don't see some crazy spike behind this sneaker
where it's going to be a 500 or a 600 shoe now if i'm wrong later down the line maybe i'm wrong but
i think personally this is the average air jordan 1 and nothing too crazy to go raving about and
i think you can get it for a solid price and it might go up a little bit but you don't have much
to worry about that's just how i feel let me know what you think down below in the comment section
so that's going to do it let me know if you guys were able to pick up this pair as well did you
buy them for retail did you buy them for resale are you waiting until later do you not like the
shoe at all answer all those questions down below in the comment section i always love to hear what
