today we are going to be unboxing this special box right here as you can hear this thing is not
cardboard it's made out of metal we got a lot to talk about so let's go ahead and get into it
welcome back to the channel what's up with you guys how you doing how you been if you did not

subscribe button don't forget to hit the bell notification for every time i upload a new video
and make sure you hit that like button because that helps the algorithm oh so much so some of
you may know what sneaker is inside of this box right here but i'm telling you right now the story
behind this shoe is so dope that's what sold me on it the most and i just knew i had to get
a pair of my collection so starting with the box as you can see you have your all over classic og
style air jordan 1 box but this thing is made out of metal looking at the size tag it reads
air jordan 1 high og sp black varsity red black white retail 180 bucks flipping open the lid you
have shoe pallets in all gray jump man everything all over the top of the lid and then you have a
retro card right here on the retro card it's like your classic retro card but the air jordan 1 is
just a little bit special because it's the actual shoe that's inside the box on the other side of
the retro card typically you see michael jordan on here this time it's sp genus flight school there's
also a brief description about gina right here on the card as well but i'm going to give you guys
full details about her story and everything in a little bit next you have a sticker right here that
says shoe palace all over it with nike branding and sp gina air jordan one down below when it
comes to the paper you have an all over print that says shoe palace jumpman the jordan brand logo and
sp gina's face all over the paper i think a very dope touch especially looking at the box and all
the details and everything like this i feel like they definitely put a lot of thought behind this
shoe lifting up the paper you got the shoe oh you got the shoe okay first impressions of this shoe
bruh this thing is insane they did a lot of work on this sneaker when it comes to the details of
the box the details of the sneaker the hang tag you name it the quality all the different things
this is definitely a loud sneaker to say it's so subtle with the color which we'll get into
a second but i feel like they did a solid job so before we get into breaking down the styles cuts
materials and colorways and everything like that we gotta figure out who gina is right if you don't
know who she is let's go ahead and talk about her in a good way in a good way so virginia wright
also known as gina is an elementary teacher in san jose she has always had a passion for
sneakers and the children that she helps educate each and every year in her area everybody knows
who she is and shows her mad love because she is just literally one of the teachers we all wish to
have she stays fresh with the latest and greatest air jordans on her feet and will always believe
in every child that comes through her class gina had an opportunity to connect with shu palace and
jordan brand to create her own shoe the sp gina it's so dope to see jordan brand bring a story
like this to life with the elementary teacher and allow her to design her own sneaker and not
just give it to her but actually allow the whole public to buy it there are two versions of this
sneaker you have your classic regular box that you typically get or you have the special box version
which is this one right here they did a special release for this sneaker on may 25th in 2019
at the location at shoe palace where people were able to come in meet her and get the shoes as well
then the broad release came out june 1st of 2019 and that's where other people had their chances to
get the shoe online as well this is definitely a limited sneaker that i think is flying under the
radar simply because the storytelling behind this shoe alone just easily made it a cop for me so
let's go ahead and start breaking down this shoe a little bit more and give you guys a more in-depth
look starting with the outsole you have all red outsole but this is actually more of like a deeper
darker more not burgundy but you know what i'm saying it's just a deeper red not like a
fire red or anything like that but you got your classic air jordan 1 outsole wrapping up to the
midsole you have all black midsole with the black stitch as well and going to the upper oh the upper
i know this is something that everybody's going to be talking about this is definitely a flashy
wild shoe but as you can see from her style simply looking on instagram or something like that
if you saw a lady walking down the street with some fresh pair of j's on like that
it's gonna stick out and i think this shoe right here definitely sticks out and represents her
very very well so when you look at the color blocking of this sneaker it's actually very
similar but there's actually two different colors when it comes to it you have more of
a silver undertone on the predominant part of the sneaker and around the toe cap and then on
the top of the toe cap and on the back end you have more of a black metallic type of material
now what does this relate to kind of like the toe style right breads royals shadows something
like that but it just has such a crazy twist with the materials and the colors with it that
you kind of can't really envision it until you start putting them side by side and you realize
they have very similar color blocking style as you touch the materials all around the sneaker it kind
of has like a rubbery feel to it and it's just so interesting because i don't think i've ever
seen this type of material in these colors before on a air jordan or even an air jordan one if you
look very very closely it's almost like a polka dot type of print all throughout the entire piece
of the material looking at the wings logo you have an embossed air jordan wings logo right here
stitched onto the side of the shoe looking at the tongue you have your classic mesh murdered
out black tongue with a black and red nike air here on the top looking at the insole you have
the same picture sp gina in her face that you saw on the paper on the inside of the box is also on
the insole of the shoe these come equipped with a pair of black wax laces always a dope premium hit
and then this right here another premium vibe you have a metal i don't know if you can hear it but
this is a metal apple right here with a jumpman here on the front and then the shoe pallets here
on the back i think this is definitely a dope hit as well so when it comes to jordan ones
alone this is definitely a unique shoe if this may have had some crazy designer's name on it
this could potentially easily be worth a lot more money but it's not and that is okay and like i
said before the story behind this really sold me on this shoe i wanted to get these when they came
out i wasn't able to get them i finally got them not that long ago and i'm glad to have them in my
collection and it's actually kind of funny because i actually seen her and spoke to her when she was
at sneaker con out in the bay area a couple years ago right after this shoe had came out so it was a
crazy coincidence at the whole time i wish i would have been able to like you know make a video or
take a photo with her or have her sign something but i just didn't own the shoes and i didn't even
think about the fact that she would be showing up to a sneaker con event in the bay area which
only makes sense because that's where she lives so that's a whole other topic but if i see her
again i'll definitely make sure hopefully i can get a photo with her or have her sign something
or something because i think the story behind these is really really dope as you can tell
i really love the shoe as always i love to see what everybody else thinks about it as well
so i posted a poll on my instagram if you haven't already make sure you follow me on ig so that way
you can participate in the polls and the results will always be posted here in the videos 64
of the people chose fire and 36 percent of the people chose trash i can completely understand
both sides but i'm definitely happy that people chose fire over trash as the majority because
i'm telling you right now man if you see the shoe in person you'd be like right this thing
is so crazy and it's actually really not that bad like it's flashy but in a sense it's kind
of subtle depending on when the light is hitting and everything so i think you could get away with
these and really pull off a dope fit with this shoe on so let me know what you guys think about
these down below in the comment section how do you feel about these make sure you go follow gina on
instagram as well drop a comment on one of her random photos on ign be like dna show sent me so
