so I've owned a lot of different shoes over the years and this is one that I've
never owned before I'm finally able to get it in my collection I'm excited to
open this one up with you guys let's go ahead and get into it

can leave you a warm welcome and if you all just drop a like on the video cuz
you already know that helps the algorithm oh so much so let's go ahead
and get into the video first off you guys already know what it is by seeing
the title seeing the soul all those different things you understand that
this is a air jordan one the question is what jordan one is it some of you might
know from the thumbnail others may not but let's just go ahead and open up this
box because i'm ready to just get into it
starting with the box you have our newer era air jordan one box all black with
the red hits like you have seen over the past years all around like normal taking
off the lid we have a white paper and now cool we have this shoe so for those
that do not know this is the air jordan one black metallic gold also known as
the Jordan Brand Classic as you guys that do know and if you don't I'm just
gonna give you guys a quick little back history that way people have an
understanding of the shoe this shoe in particular was slated as the Jordan
Brand Classic because during that time he was going with the black and gold
theme what she normally does over the years but in that era as you seen from
the uniforms here you have the black and the golden and the red and the gold the
different sneakers that they have that were dropping around that time that was
like the 28th or something like that I think around that era and from there you
seen shoes like this that will leak out there be a Jordan Retro like a number
sometimes they do different numbers but this one in particular was one that a
lot of people went after but a lot of people didn't really know where the shoe
was coming out they didn't even know that the shoe came out in the first
place a lot of people just had that gray area and then after the shoe had came
out people were like yo what's what's up with that like when did those drive
where did they release then why is the price so high
all these questions so I remember in that time I was still in college I
wasn't even truly paying that much attention to shoes each and every week
because I had to worry about school and football and running my business and
every like that an issue right here in
particular slip through the cracks for me so I didn't even really see him until
after the head came out and the price was like a thousand dollars at the time
I'm like what is this and why did I not know about it so after I had looked up
and seeing what was going on the event was out in New York and then they
dropped him at a store in New York called Extra Butter so they had a
limited supply there and then I think they did like a raffle system or
something like that there I heard that they were at multiple House of Hoops on
the East Coast also different stores in Chicago Miami mainly a lot of stuff on
the East Coast I'm not exactly sure what was happening on the west coast where
they came out if you know where these came out on the west coast drop a
comment down below in the comment section also what I have heard from a
lot of people is there are under a thousand pairs of these shoes made me
personally I came across two different pairs over the past like what seven
years now and they were both samples so I had seen those ones but I just wanted
to get the regular G are limited release whatever version that was because I know
I could spend a little bit less money than what the sample price was going for
yet at the same time these were still hidden for a lot of money for me I was
like okay how can I get these shoes and I just waited I waited I waited and then
I finally ended up coming across them over this past year I hit on my boy and
I was like yellow I need those ended up coming through I got the shoes and now
I'm a happy camper I had to wait seven years to get this shoe but I finally got
the shoe thought about it then or now I still would I had the shoe so for me I'm
not really tripping it's still in great condition so now that you've heard a
little bit about the shoe and how I ended up getting it and all those
different things the next question is what does this shoe look like what is it
compared to all those different things you know I gotta answer those questions
so I will be comparing them against the goal tall ones and then a random I know
it's random but the organ duck foamposite because it's got that speckle
bottom similar to the bottom on here we'll get into that a little bit later
in the video first things first I would say this shoe inspiration came heavily
from the 2003 Air Jordan one 3/4 black and gold the patent leather pack you
guys remember that pack so obviously you can see the color blocking is kind of
similar they changed the bottom half and then
they made this into like a oh gee hi this was 2013
so back in that time that was when they first were starting to integrate the og
high styles and people are starting to give back used to getting og highs
because we remember for a long period of time there weren't too many retros as a
og high there was a lot of stuff coming out at
recorders so other shoes that this shoe may resemble that you guys may have in
your own personal collections could be the Air Jordan legacy 312 I personally
consider those a fail because I'm like y'all just disrespected that shoe that's
a whole nother topic we'll get on to something else you could also say that
the inspiration from this model created the complex content of one or the
gold-tone airs running one both with the black and gold and white patent leather
and then we also had a recently similar to the Chicago style color blocking the
black with the white and then the gold hits on the 3/4 Air Jordan one that
released last year in 2019 again that was a shoe that I think was pretty dope
pretty affordable not personally for me but I think a lot of people would like
that sneaker and it does hit well for somebody's collection for every day
rotation piece let's go ahead and start breaking down the shoe on the outsole
you have a semi translucent gold outsole right here with gold speckles all
throughout that and that's something that I wanted to compare it to the
Oregon Duck foamposite just because I've seen that it had the same type of style
with the confetti style in it and I think that's a dope hit on both of those
sneakers and that's the only thing that I think these really resemble too
there's not too many Air Jordan ones with the translucent sole now don't get
me wrong there are pairs I understand that there are pairs so don't try to go
crazy in the comment section I would say when it comes to nostalgic colorways and
colorways that our og color blocking something that may be simple like this
with a simple color blocking stone they don't typically do a translucent so on
those parents if you think about the original og colorways taking our way up
to the midsole we have an all-white midsole with adult gold accent stitch
all around that looking very clean and then the upper it's just a
self-explanatory you have an all-black upper completely patent leather and then
you have a gold air jordan wings logo with a gold swoosh on both sides of the
foot you got your gold nike air branding here on the tongue and then just simple
clean all black everything murdered-out fresh this shoe right here is so fresh I
love it because it's so simple is so clean this is a model that even if it
wasn't worth nothing I need these in my collection if they weren't worth as much
I would have had them immediately but because it were worth so much I had to
take a little bit time so that I could find them for a really good deal so I
wanted to put these side-by-side to the all-star release Air Jordan one goal
and then you have here the black metallic gold one these come with black
laces and then gold laces as well these come with black laces and white laces
obviously as you can see the difference between the color-blocking but I think
that a lot of the inspiration came from this side this is more of the bred style
with the toe style color blocking and this is just more kind of like the
metallic style that you have seen very simple one main colorway and then a
different color swoosh or the collar around it but this collar right here is
actually all black not with the gold so as you can see this is slightly
different color blocking style because normally you have something here on the
back to go with the swoosh as well but this is just all murdered out black and
this is something I really love about this shoe because again it's so simple
is so clean so now comes my next question the Gold Toe one I love this
shoe I think this model is dope this one is amazing as well I have a very hard
time picking which one I like the most so I'm gonna let you guys do that
deciding so go ahead and drop a comment down below what is your favorite Air
Jordan one with the black and gold patent leather style to it which one is
your favorite one out of the what five or six colorways that are named for you
guys let me know what you guys think down below but I think between these two
I would have to say one of these is gonna take second place because I know
the oh three pair is definitely gonna take first place for me but I don't know
I'm having a really hard time picking so let me know what y'all think down below
so next thing that I did is I went to Instagram like I always do if you
haven't go ahead and follow me on IG I like to post up behind-the-scenes stuff
different poles and see results to see what you guys are thinking as well that
way I can share them here in the video but basically what I asked the people is
do you think this shoe is fire or do you think this shoe is trash me you already
know I think is fire but let's see what the people say 78% says fire 22% says
trash and it's actually kind of funny because I got a lot of different
messages from people asking like what is that you people had never seen it before
or some people are like yo if you know you know you know when I get that little
smirk on there like it was just kind of cool to interact what people seeing that
and then obviously being able to finally get the shoe again I'm just happy to
finally have these in my collection after all these years with all that
being said I think that's pretty much gonna do it I think it's gonna wrap it
up this right here is a great pickup definitely a dope top 5 type 10 type of
AirDroid in one piece that would go on my collection where would you rank these
with all the dope colorways I have dropped over the years do you
want to have this in your collection do you not even care about it do you think
it's overpriced do you think it should be worth more let me know what you think
about the shoot down below I know they're not really on topic for anything
but as I always get new pickups I always like to tell you guys the stories about
how I got them a little bit about the shoe what it means to me all those
different things like that I hope this was helpful for you guys to understand a
little bit more about the shoe because a lot of people did have questions like
where did those come out when did those come out why they wear so much hopefully
that just clears that air for you guys so you guys have a better understanding
but with that being said my name is DJ it's time to go I guess oh yeah you
