today we are going to be taking a look at the pollen air jordan one i've had multiple
conversations with people with different opinions about this shoe some love it some hate it all i
say is go steelers but that's a whole nother topic let's go ahead and get into this review break down
the shoe talk about styles cuts materials all the fancy things oh i'm ready to check these out
welcome back to the channel what's up with you guys how you doing how you been if you did not

i love to start the videos talking about history first as you guys know this is the air jordan one
originally came out in 1985 but these are a new colorway that we haven't seen before so let's
go ahead and check these things out starting with the box you have a major twist you have
your classic air jordan og style box but you got the pollen yellow compared to the red that you
typically get on the air jordan 1 box looking at the size tag it reads air jordan 1 retro high og
pollen white black retail 170 bucks cracking open the lid of the box you have your classic
white paper and then you got the shoe oh you got the shoe okay first impressions of these sneakers
go stealers now but actually these are actually super dope i really like the shoe i'll get into
my full interpretation of it later after i dissect it a little bit more but overall i'm not mad at it
i like to twist up and again go steelers so like normal fashion we're gonna start with the bottom
of the sneaker and work our way up talk about styles cuts and materials let's go ahead and get
into it starting with the outsole you have your classic air jordan 1 outsole with the all yellow
vibes right here nike in the center of it go into the midsole you got a pure white with a white
stitch and then go into the upper the upper is an interesting topic because i heard some people
saying the quality is terrible i hate the shoe and i heard a lot of people saying i really love it
they did a good job on the materials so i'll tell you guys how i feel about it too when it comes to
the black leather on the toe the side and the back end of the shoe you have a tumbled black leather
right here it feels pretty solid i definitely have felt softer leather before but overall i'm
not mad at it when it comes to the quality of that now when it comes to the smoother yellow leather
here on the front end and on the back end of the shoe all throughout the upper really it honestly i
thought it was going to feel like more plasticky but as i rub my finger through the leather
it does feel a little bit softer than i thought it would compared to the look of it when i actually
hold it in hand and as i push my finger across it here on the back end of the shoe or here around
the front end on the toe i feel like the leather is not that bad and i can't see why too many
people would complain about the leather quality on this sneaker but when it comes to rankiness
when it comes to quality overall i feel like i would give it like a 7 out of 10. another thing to
note is when you have this color blocking style right here i like to call this the storm blue
color blocking style or like the unc one color blocking style but you got more of a dominant
color with the black compared to the white but overall that's kind of the vibe that i'm getting
even the all black and white air jordan one the og colorway as well this kind of has that same color
blocking pattern some people say the chicago but that has a different color blocking pattern than
this does because on the chicago you have white here white here and then black around the back end
and these in particular are similar to the storms like i said because they only have two colors on
the upper compared to three looking at the wings logo on the ankle of the foot you got your classic
air jordan wings logo with the basketball you got your nike air here in yellow with the nike
air in white and then the swoosh in black and then going to the inside of the shoe you have a black
sock liner with a black insole and a yellow nike air these come equipped with a standard pair of
yellow laces and an additional pair of black laces me personally actually i don't know i feel like
i have to lace them up to see but the yellow is a little bit different compared to the material
color on the leather so i say maybe i would go with the all-black just to give it that darker
vibe but i feel like the yellow might look good even a cell colored lace might look good in these
let me know what lace option you would choose if you were to rock this shoe the next thing i
wanted to know was a simple question how did you feel about the shoe is it fire or is it trash if
you haven't already make sure you follow me on instagram so you can participate in the polls
and see all the results here on the channel ask that people the question and this is what they say
90 of the people chose fire and 10 of the people chose trash and i completely understand it i think
if you talk about the top air jordan 1 colorways to come out in 2021 this could potentially be on a
lot of people's list and i think in the top three i don't know if it would take first place but i
definitely think these could land in you know the top three area when it comes to jordan 1 releases
in 2021 and even though i don't think this is the best quality one i really love this dealer
so obviously this is a must-have and two i think it's just a nice little switch up and definitely
to have a yellow vibe with your sneaker i love the new love ones some people don't like them
because they're mids but that shoe right there in particular i love that sneaker so to add another
black and yellow sneaker to the collection i definitely think this is a great cop so let me
know what you guys think down below in the comment section were you able to pick up this shoe did you
not pick it up did you want it and weren't able to get it or did you just not want it at all
did you buy it to resell it do you not care about it let me know how you feel down below
another question that i get all the time is what is this shoe worth now and what is it going to be
worth later this shoe is currently rolling for around 250 bucks right now in the resale market
shoe is 170 bucks retail so you got 150 bucks plus fees all the things you might make you know
30 50 60 bucks depending on who you're selling to maybe even 70 bucks i don't know but either way
you're gonna make a couple bucks on the shoe and i think honestly it's better to hold on to
a sneaker like this me personally this is a more of a collection type sneaker something that you
would rock every day or have in your rotation but again everybody has different motives
and all i am is predicting the price and telling you guys what i think and i personally think
this sneaker is probably going to be worth around 350 bucks down the line similar to other simple
colorways like this i think it's very easy to rock it's very neutral and it makes sense for the long
haul i think you give it a year or two and a lot of people are going to be going after this sneaker
this is one of those shoes that falls in that category of like oh bro i could have got it for
when it was like 2 25 or 2 30. and then you wait for a year and you're like bro why is everybody
charging me 375 for it now i should have bought it when it was 225. that's how i kind of feel
about the shoe i feel like if you can get it get it now get it while you can while it's low
the price might go down a little bit but then eventually it's just about to shoot up like
every other air jordan one i mean if you think about it pretty much every jordan one tends to go
up if it's a solid colorway so overall that was a quick look at this sneaker i hope you guys enjoyed
it i hope you are able to cop if you weren't i hope you're able to get a great deal on the shoe
