today i'm going to be breaking down every different variation of the bread air jordan
1. a lot of people know about this sneaker from michael jordan being banned in the nba from
wearing it which is part of the reason this sneaker got the name band jordan 1. so i'll
be going over all the history of this shoe dating all the way back to 1984 and every single release
that came out from that day to current time and if you guys didn't know by now my name is dj and this
is the dna show so before we get started with the history of the sneaker and why people thought this
shoe was banned in the first place i gotta make a disclaimer when we go through this video i'm
talking about every single bread air jordan 1 that has the same exact color blocking of the bread
jordan 1. so yes we have different iterations of the reverse breads or the bread mids or the
bread toast and all those different things but i'm not mentioning those shoes in this video simply
because i want to show you guys the nearly 20 different iterations that they have released over
the years with different styles cuts and materials of the same exact og model back in 1984 michael
jordan came into the league as we know he didn't really want to be with nike and then he ended up
signing with him they ended up making his own shoe and one of the sneakers that he wore when he was
a rookie in the nba was actually the airship and during that time in the nba a lot of players had
to wear white sneakers he was one of the first people to come on the scene with the new colorway
that shook the game up he wore a pair of black and red nike airships and the nba went crazy they then
reached out to the brand and told him that they would find him five thousand dollars per game
every time he wore that shoe with that colorway on it nike took advantage of this threat from the
nba and switched the narrative when it came to the marketing on the new air jordan 1 that was
releasing in 1985 and told the viewers that the nba had wanted to throw the show out the league
but they could still wear them if they wanted to this was a great start for michael jordan's
sneaker career simply because it brought a crazy demand from the consumers and this is something
that really changed the game so still to this day nike markets this sneaker as the band air jordan
1. hence the x on the back right here but in all actuality this wasn't the shoe that was actually
supposedly banned it was the original nike airship which we then saw released a couple years ago with
a very exclusive drop and a very nice set of materials on them but that's a whole other topic
we can make a video about those as well but either way let's kick it to 1985 with the original air
jordan 1 bread and look at the styles cuts and materials and just kind of pay attention as we
go throughout the video and we see the different changes over time and everything like this but
everything originally started from this shoe right here i also wanted to give a mention to the ajko
they had a bread colorway for that one as well and the reason why i brought this shoe up was because
it was an alternate version for a lot of people to purchase as consumers and we definitely saw
different retro iterations over the past 10 to 12 years following that og release we then saw
the 1994 air jordan 1 bread a lot of people call these ogs as well they came with a different set
of boxing and paper and everything like that and was kind of like a 10 year anniversary sneaker for
the original air jordan 1. some time had gone by and now we're coming into 2001 where we then saw
the bread air jordan release but there was a whole different style when it came to the cuts
and the materials and these actually had a nubuck swoosh on there so this is when we started to see
a little bit of a change when it came to the overall shape and a little bit of twist when
it comes to the materials of the sneaker back in 2001. now another seven years go by and we
come to 2008 where jordan threw a major curveball and they dropped a bread one with a strap on it
this was a high top air jordan one with the air jordan branding on the front on the tongue and it
had got rid of the nike air and this was more of a transitional era when jordan brand decided to use
their logo more when it came to the branding on the shoes and eliminate the nike air with this we
also saw the jumpman stitched on the back of the heel in black and this was a hit that we weren't
normally used to seeing when it comes to the og bread style also in 2008 jordan brand decided
to release the air jordan 1 low fat in the bread colorway this was a sneaker that you could find at
outlets not everybody was going crazy over it some people still have it i don't know if everybody
does or not but either way this was definitely a shoe that went way underneath the radar but it was
a bright colorway so i had to put it on the list next up in 2009 we saw the dmp pack release with
the celtics and bulls air jordan ones obviously this isn't the bread colorway but with this 2009
release we saw that same vibe you had the jordan on the tongue and the jordan on the back of the
shoe this sneaker was in high demand at the time because we hadn't seen a bread one drop without
the straps or anything like that since 2001 even though it wasn't exactly like the og style a
lot of people still had appreciation for the shoe and that's what helped to keep his value a couple
years later we saw in 2011 that jordan brown was going to be releasing a banned air jordan 1
specifically dedicated to showing homage to the band and had a special x on the back and the
next thing you know all the blogs stopped talking about it every single version of this shoe was a
b grade that went to the nike outlets throughout the nation and this is actually considered to be
one of the best quality air jordan ones that has ever released jordan brand took the concept of
the band and they put the x on the back and they have small x's in red and white right here on the
inside of the sockliner and they added the dates on the inside of here as well with the nike air
and everybody was going crazy for this sneaker and at the time i was able to get this shoe for 109.
they were selling for around 350 to 400 bucks and now they're going for like 2 000 a year later in
2012 we then saw the air jordan 1 ko release and this was something crazy because we hadn't
seen something like this since the og but they switched it up and they put the actual air jordan
one outsole on there changed a couple things put the jumpman on the tongue and everything like that
another shoe that flew underneath the radar but i had to mention it simply because it was
similar to the og colorway when it comes to the bread blocking the next year after that in 2013
we saw the bread ones released with this style now these were very similar to the 2001 style
when it came to the overall just kind of style with the materials and the cuts and the leathers
and the schemes of everything but these had a leather swoosh on them more similar to the og
and this is actually one of the sneakers that started the new craze for air jordan ones because
it had the nike air on the tongue and it was known to be the air jordan 1 high og a couple
years later in 2015 they decided to release the ajko again in the bread colorway but this time
they tried to show it some more love replicating the og style also in 2015 we saw the air jordan
1 low og in the bread colorway they took the og cut from the air jordan ones back in 1985
and threw a twist on it with the bread colorway and at the time a lot of people just wanted the
high top version we saw sneakers like this sitting on shelves at outlet obviously in today's market
the shoe is going for hundreds of dollars but it's crazy to think how things have changed
over the time following those releases in 2015 we saw another release of air jordan 1 high og
in the bread colorway it was kind of interesting because we had just seen a release three years
before that with the bread one and then in 2016 we saw another release it was kind of interesting
seeing at the time they decided to only go three years apart when we were typically used to seeing
seven to eight or even ten years apart with the og style the 2016 release of the bread jordan 1
was heavily promoted as a band air jordan 1. this brought a whole new wave of hype and demand when
it came to air jordan 1 high ogs and this was the new introduction of the style and cut of the shoe
so when you see the 2013 version in the 2016 version as you can see right here with these
two flicking back and forth there is definitely a major difference when it comes to the materials
and the cuts of the shoes i personally like rocking the 2013 version more let me know
what you think down below in the comment section between the two shoes also in 2016 we saw a very
limited release of the satin air jordan 1 in the bread colorway these were immediately going for
a lot of money and always held their value it is definitely a hard sneaker to rock simply because
it's a satin material and it gets a crazy crease over the top of the toe but at the same time it's
definitely a dope shoe and a nice addition to the collection if you do have it now going to 2017
this was another switch up when it comes to the materials on the air jordan 1 bread and this was a
knit version they did have some areas with leather on the sneaker but the shoe was predominantly in
a knit material and i'm telling you right now if you've ever tried that shoe on they are definitely
way more comfortable but because this sneaker wasn't the leather version and it wasn't like
the og it didn't hold as much value as the other pair next up in 2018 we saw another curve
ball from jordan brand and this was the homage to home air jordan 1. now you're saying what are you
talking about well if you look at the inside of the sneaker it looks like the chicago air jordan
one so you have the bread on the outside and the chicago on the inside it's split down the middle
and you have like two shoes in one type situation but i had to throw these on the list because it
still has the brake color blocking on half of the shoe now you guys know i'm an ex football player
so i gotta always incorporate the cleats we saw the bread air jordan 1 cleat so as you can see
right here from the upper this is a mix between leather and mesh on the materials still has the
same bread color blocking and then obviously the outsole is going to be different because
it's cleated but everything else is essentially the same and honestly loki built like jordan 1
mids but at the same time everybody still liked them because they just wanted to play football in
them so we are on to the last and final sneaker in current time 2021 the air jordan 1 patent leather
bread these came out a couple days before the year ended there was a lot of hype behind this shoe
some people are saying this sneaker is going to be worth a lot of money someday we shall see how
it all plays out but i know for a fact the leather version just beats every single thing the patent
leather is nice don't get me wrong it's all shiny and everything but you can't go wrong with the og
so i hope this video was helpful and gave you a better perspective on the bread jordan 1 and all
the different versions that have come out over the years from 1985 all the way to current time and
i'm sure we're gonna see another bread one roll out maybe every couple three or five years we're
gonna see another og style over and over and over again it's just naturally gonna happen it's almost
like the air force one you can never go wrong with the bread one it's always gonna sell out
people are gonna love it it goes with a lot of different outfits it looks super fly all those
