today we're going to be talking about an air jordan one that i recently picked up that i think
is highly underrated and going to be way more expensive a year from now so there's two reasons
why i'm making this video one is because i just picked the shoe up and two obviously you guys know
the price is gonna go crazy and i wanna let you know now before they go up in value that way
you can still get the shoe and if you guys didn't know by now my name is dj and this is the dna show
one other big thing that i want to mention we're close to a million subscribers y'all
i need y'all to hit the subscribe button because we're like three subscribers away
plus like 800 000 but it is what it is we'll be there soon so as most people know the air jordan
one in particular is a big sneaker that a lot of people get into when they first start collecting
or when they first start reselling it's a tried and true model that has been very successful over
the years that came out in 1985 and people still love it to this day to this day sorry i just had
to get a little bit deante wilder up in there for you there have definitely been ups and downs when
it comes to the air jordan one but as of right now we have seen a solid trajectory going up
and i'm telling you right now i don't see it stopping anytime soon every time i hear any new
sneaker collector the first thing that they ask me is can i get a pair of air jordan ones where can i
buy them how can i get them for retail where can i find the best deals and there is nothing wrong
with that at all but i'm telling you right now everybody wants jordan ones and this is a sneaker
that a lot of people are enjoying rocking and i personally was sick i didn't get the shoe for
retail because it was only 130 bucks and now the shoe is like 200 bucks but i had to pull
the trigger anyways and go ahead and pick up the shoe so i know by now you guys are at the point
like bro what shoe are you even talking about i'm talking about the neutral gray air jordan one low
i wanted the sneaker when it first came out and i tried to get it for retail and there was no luck
and then i ended up finding a pair for my wife and got her a pair and i was like bro this is crazy i
found a good deal for her and i still can't find a pair for me i'm a size 13 so it does make it a
little bit harder and my price is just a little bit more expensive compared to everybody else
so you got to take that into a fact as to why i had been being patient but as this time went on
through the past year of me being patient what happened the price kept going up so before i get
into numbers and everything like that let me show you guys some detail shots of the sneaker first
break down the shoe just a little bit so you guys have a better understanding of it and why
i appreciate it so much and why i wanted to add it to my collection and then we'll break down all
the numbers and everything like that so starting with the outsole as you can see right here it's a
classic air jordan 1 outsole with the neutral gray vibes going up to the midsole you have all white
midsole with the white stitch and then on the upper you have all white upper with the neutral
gray suede patch right here on the back end of the shoe and then the air jordan wings logo embossed
on that and then you have a gray suede swoosh right here on both sides of the shoe and then
the gray nike air here on the white nylon tongue looking at the sock liner you have a very soft
neutral gray the insole is all white with the gray nike air these come standard with a pair
of white laces and an additional pair of gray laces to go with them but i've also seen a lot
of people go with the more vintage style laces that are kind of like that off-white kind of
creamy vibe which is something that i am low-key interested in doing on this shoe in particular
so stay tuned for how to lace your air jordan 1 low video coming in the future now on to the part
that everybody cares about the most the numbers this shoe came out in men's and women's sizes and
retailed for the men at 130 dollars and man i wish i would have got them for that price
but it is what it is i saw these at my local consignment shop here in portland and they were
220 bucks and i was like you know what at this point i'm pulling the trigger so as soon as i saw
them i immediately went down to index the next day to pick up the shoes and i'm telling you right now
your boy is a happy camper and if you guys haven't heard of index before make sure you guys go check
them out i'll have a link for them down below in the description they have an online website
instagram and everything like that if you see anything that you like make sure you
guys let them know dj sent you so like i said earlier i ended up picking up this shoe for 220
we don't have tax here in portland which is a very convenient thing so i just got them for even
220 flat and as you can see from the numbers right here on stockx the last sale was 280
and people are asking 280 on there plus you would have fees and shipping and all those other things
and you have current bids around 250 bucks now if you go to other sizes like i was talking about
earlier the smaller sizes are just a little bit cheaper and that's typically what happens when
you have a size 13 so if you guys are size 13 drop a comment down below and let them know about our
struggle looking at the price history graph right here on stockx with the previous sales from the
past they were selling for around 200 bucks right before they came out and then once they dropped
they were going for around 150 bucks which was just a little bit over retail but i was being too
bougie talking about well i don't really want to spend over retail because it's such a cheap shoe
i'll just buy it whenever and then i waited and then now look i had to spend 200 bucks sometimes
you just got to pull the trigger and stop playing but either way as you see over time summer time
went by spall time went by people started to rock the shoe they started to appreciate the shoe
and every single person that i know that owns this sneaker right here they all say the same
thing i wish i had two pair a lot of people really appreciate this sneaker because it's so simple
it's clean it literally goes with everything the leather quality is really nice actually for a
130 dollar shoe and everybody for some reason just immediately turns them into their everyday beaters
and just wants another pair to plan on doing the same exact thing i know a few people that have at
least five pair in their collection and literally have them in rotation these are almost like having
a pair of all-white air force ones yet it's a jordan one low and i think another thing that
a lot of people really appreciate about this shoe as well it's not a retro low it's a og low which
means it has a different cut than the retro style so typically when you see an air jordan one low og
it's just gonna naturally go for more money simply because it's more like the og from back in the day
and the retro one low kind of almost gives you like a sb vibe it's a little bit more poofy
it's configured a little bit differently on the back end of the shoe and it's just like don't get
me wrong it's not bad but it's just not the same especially the tongue the tongue on the retro one
low is nowhere near as good as the nylon tongue on the og low so again as you can see right here
on the graph a lot of sales recently have been going for around or just over 200 bucks and for
a size 13 it's going for close to 300 now so when i saw these for 220 i knew i had to go immediately
pick them up because who knows if i was gonna ever find a pair for this good of a deal again i have a
strong feeling that this shoe is gonna continue to rise in value just think about the 2015
version those were selling for like six or seven hundred bucks and there was a big debate with a
lot of people about the swooshes and the different sizes and the slight differences between the two
but overall the shoe is damn near the same and the vast majority of people they don't really
care they think it's a nice rocker and they're gonna still appreciate it either way so this is
a shoe that i definitely plan on adding to my rotation obviously it's a white sneaker so i'm
gonna have to worry about taking care of it but at the same time i don't have too many worries simply
because i have seen people with some beat up pairs and their low keys still look kind of good on foot
and i'm sure i'm probably not the first one to say this but some jordans actually do look better when
they're beat up compared to fresh and brand new which is a whole nother topic itself and we can
definitely get into a video like that because i want to talk about that one too so yes i know
this is a surprise for most people but i didn't own this sneaker in 2021 i literally just got
these the other day i'm excited to have them in my collection i definitely feel like they're going to
go way up in value and that's why i wanted to get into them now because i do want to rock this shoe
and i don't want to be down the line a year from now talking about oh damn now i gotta pay 350 or
400 bucks for this shoe so i hope you guys enjoyed this quick pick up video we're close to a million
