today we're going to be taking a look at the patent leather bread air jordan 1.
this is a sneaker that i am very excited to add to my collection and i'm definitely looking forward
to giving you guys an in-depth look and showing you guys some comparisons from the past so if
you guys didn't know by now my name is dj and this is the dna show if you're new to the channel we're
gonna unbox the sneaker give our first impressions talk about the history break down the styles cuts
materials resale value all them fancy things other people's opinions you name it let's get into it
starting with the box you have your classic og style air jordan 1 box but this one comes with
a major twist it has more of a satin type of finish to it compared to the matte finish that
we typically see this one has more of a shiny look giving it that patent leather vibe going
to the size tag it reads air jordan 1 retro high og black varsity red white size 13 just for me
retail 170 bucks cracking open the lid of the box right here you have a white paper
and then you got the shoe oh you got this shoe okay first impressions of this sneaker i've
already seen these before i love patent leather and i already knew i was gonna like this shoe
so let's just say yeah i like now before we get started breaking down the styles cuts and
materials with the comparisons we gotta talk about the history first we saw the original
air jordan one bread back in 1985 when michael jordan first got to the league and got his deal
with jordan brand and over the years since the og dropped we have seen a bunch of different
retros hit the market talking about versions with straps satin materials high tops low tops and a
whole lot of other versions in between and in my personal opinion this is like a dream come true
i love patent leather sneakers and we have never seen a patent leather air jordan one
in the bread colorway this is something that people were talking about a couple years ago then
it was kind of like a myth and next thing you know it started to be more of an idea and then the idea
kind of started to come to life when we saw a little rendition and next thing you know the shoe
came out and we're like bro this is actually real so to be able to add this pair of shoes
to my collection yes your boy is definitely a happy camper there's so much nostalgia history
and homage behind this shoe it makes it really hard for this sneaker to fail when it comes to
the resale market which we'll talk about a little bit later in the video but for now let's get into
the styles cuts and materials starting with the outsole you have your classic air jordan 1 outsole
with the all red vibes going up to the midsole all white with the white stitch and then onto
the upper you have the same exact color blocking as the air jordan 1 bread but in a patent leather
version these come equipped with their standard pair of black laces and an additional pair of red
laces right here i think a pair of white laces might look good in here as well but i feel like
i probably end up just rocking the black ones let me know what you think down below in the
comment section another great touch in addition to the sneaker that i think could easily raise the
value when it comes to the retail is the metal air jordan hang tag right here you have a red version
and this something that just brings back so many memories i don't know if everybody remembers this
time but i personally had these when i was a kid and then i ended up getting up here again when i
was in high school and i still have that pair now in my collection and that's the air jordan
three quarters patent leather pack that we saw from early 2000's they had the metal jordan hang
tags on there as well i remember having those on my keychain as a kid and those memories from back
then easily made me fall in love with this shoe even more when i saw they were adding this hang
tag to the drop let me know how you feel about the jordan hang tag down below in the comment section
i think it's a great touch and obviously a lot of personal nostalgia for myself another dope detail
that we can't forget to mention on this sneaker as well they embroidered family right here in
red on the inside of the sockliner you have all black side liner with a red stitch right here
and a black insole with a red nike air on the inside of the foot adding little details like
this is always a nice touch and nine times out of ten a sneaker head usually likes it these in
my opinion were some of the best air jordan ones that came out in 2021 i think a lot of people were
excited to get these and i definitely could see the demand for them but it was crazy to me because
i remember when they originally leaked the images on the internet a lot of people were like oh it's
patent leather those ain't about to be that dope we just want the leather versions and i completely
understand why you would want the leather version like this this is a classic you can never go wrong
with these and i wish they would retro these even more but to see jordan brand drop a patent leather
version and give us a nice little twist i ain't mad at it and if you flash back to a few years
ago when we had the gold total patent leather air jordan ones drop remember that everybody had that
negative energy oh yeah that shoe is garbage those aren't that cool the patent leather sucks you
can't wear that shoe it was a relatively easy cop for a lot of people because of it and the price
really wasn't worth that much give it a couple years next thing you know now the shoe is hitting
for some money so it's definitely interesting to see how the masses shift in energy me personally
i love patent leather jordan ones i'm pretty sure you guys know that by now and i have a jordan one
collection video update coming for you guys very soon updating my entire arizona one clip bro i
think we got like almost 80 pairs of jordan ones now it's starting to get ridiculous but anyways
back on topic it is definitely interesting to see the shift in energy from everybody else when
it comes to if they used to not like it and now they like it because everybody else likes it type
of thing and i'm not mad at you if that's what happened or if you got it in hand and realized
like wow this shoe is doper than i thought it was gonna be completely understand because this
shoe is definitely really dope and if you guys are enjoying this video so far don't forget to
hit that subscribe button we are very close to 1 million subscribers and you just might be the
next subscriber that we need to hit that milestone so obviously you guys know my impressions of this
sneaker and i definitely think it is fire but i wanted to see what everybody else think when
i asked the poll on instagram so if you haven't already make sure you follow me on ig so you can
participate in the polls and see all the results here on the channel this is what the people said
89 said fire and 11 said trash completely makes sense in my eyes simply because it's a dope shoe
and a nice twist but i also had a couple other questions i wanted to see if everybody was still
holding that patent leather energy when it comes to these versus the regular leather version and
as you can see right here the leather version is still holding strong with 76 to 24 i get it
there's new hype and a lot of people are gonna be excited about this and there definitely could
be reasons as to why they like this one more than this one because they might not have this one and
i completely understand that as well so this might be their only version of the bread that they own
so that definitely could kind of make sense why more people would be leaning towards that one
i was personally thinking it was going to be somewhere around 90 10 but hey it is what it
is i also asked the same question when it comes to the gold toll air jordan ones i wanted to see what
people were talking about with these looks like the bread colorway is dominating with 66 to 34
and i completely understand it this is the og iconic colorway so that definitely makes sense
to me but it was crazy to see before this shoe had came out people were trying to sell it for
like six seven eight hundred dollars next thing you know the shoe drops and the price goes down
a little bit you see people selling for around four or four fifty somewhere around there people
trying to hit people over the head kind of tax and i get all that then the price slowly started
to dwindle over the past couple weeks and we're seeing it go down around that kind of like 350
320 375 400 depending on who you're buying for so we're seeing this price go down just a little
bit a lot of people are asking the question is this shoe still worth it what's going to happen
is it going to go down more is it going to stay the same is going to go up later what's going on
i personally think these are definitely going to go up i don't see any reason why they wouldn't
people are going to be rocking them they're going to be like damn i need a fresh pair no creases all
those different things they're going to want to have these down the line and this could easily be
a 800 shoe that's pitiful i mean it's absolutely pitiful the bread jordan 1 is going for 8 or
900 or potentially probably gonna be going for a thousand dollars soon i think this could easily be
a seven or eight hundred dollar shoe within the next couple years let me know what you think down
below in the comments section i'm excited to see your projections on this sneaker i
currently have two pairs of my collection and i plan on picking up a third pair sometime within
the next month or so hopefully i can find a really good deal somewhere but i definitely
think these are worth the cop at the price they are now and i could see them potentially maybe
going down just a little bit more but you give it some time and these things are not going to
be worth what they are today so sorry for the delay i'm trying to get caught up with all these
videos and get everything out to you guys i got a lot more stuff coming very soon and i'm excited
