today we're going to be taking a look at the rebellionaire air jordan 1. there has been more
and more anticipation building around this sneaker and i'm excited to give you guys an in-depth
review with these compared to older sneakers that released in the past so if you didn't know by now
my name is dj and this is the dna show if you're new to this channel one thing i love to do is
give you guys early looks on the shoes that are set to come out and let you guys get a better
understanding on the quality styles cuts and materials consider hitting the subscribe button
and joining the fam we are very close to a million subscribers and you could be the next one to get
us there so with all that being said let's go ahead and crack open this box and see what these
shoes is talking about so you have your classic air jordan 1 style box with the lift off lid
but these have a major twist on them you have your matte black finish which are glossy lettering all
throughout the entire box with the all-over print and then you have the red band x over the center
of the lid now when it comes to the text that you see all over printed on this box we'll go over it
in a little bit when i break down the history of the sneaker but basically it says they can't stop
you from wearing them and in a couple minutes i'll explain all of that to you now before i get to
reading the size tag and everything else on the box i got to show you guys one thing that i saw
when it comes to the band ones that came out in 2011. as you can see on the top right here
you have the band x it's a little bit off centered but it's essentially the same vibe when you think
about the band eggs here and the band eggs here and again i'll explain a little bit more about
this shoe in a second as well but as you can see you have the band here and the band on the sides
of the box and you have to imagine if with the question mark in red on the front and then it says
imagine if in the matte black on the side now when it comes to the bordering sides of the box you
have a gray nike with the swoosh on every single side of the box and the size tag reads air jordan
1 retro high og black white particle gray size 13 just for me and retail is said to be a hundred and
seventy dollars now cracking open the lid of the box right here you have a oh this is actually dope
you have a print and this is actually from the band air jordan 1 commercial that we saw back in
the 80s so when i flipped the paper open here you have the same thing and you have the red bars that
go over the sneaker and just like i showed you in the commercial that's giving you those same exact
vibes so you kind of get where we're going right here i'm explaining a little bit more in a second
though now flipping back this paper right here you have all white paper and then you got the shoe oh
you got the shoe okay first impressions of this sneaker i gotta touch them first you always gotta
touch them this is a very interesting material i might have to get back to you guys when it
comes to the impressions because there's a lot of details on this shoe and before we get into
breaking down all the details and the cuts and the materials and the design pattern we got to talk
about the history first michael jordan came into the nba in 1985 and immediately shook up the game
soon as he touched the court not only with how he played but the shoes that he wore before the
original air jordan 1 had came out michael jordan had loved wearing the nike air ships and that
was the actual shoe that got michael jordan in trouble with the nba they threatened to find him
every time that he wore the sneaker because it had different colors on the shoe and typically most of
the players backed in just wore white with black on the shoes and no color added to it and nike
said you know what jordan don't worry we'll take care of that fine we're going to turn this into a
great opportunity for our marketing campaign so as the original air jordan 1 started to surface
they realized they could campaign around that and create a lot of promotion for the customers and
they told the consumers basically this if nba wants to ban us that's okay because they can't
stop you from wearing them and that commercial alone that we just saw again i'm telling you right
now is very iconic and one of the reasons why the band one is still such a nostalgic sneaker to this
day and probably be one of jordan's greatest shoes of all time which brings me to the next topic
and the two shoes that i will be using in today's comparison is going to be the shadow air jordan 1
and the band bread air jordan 1 from 2011 with the band x on the back there's definitely a lot that
goes along with this sneaker as well and i think these two tie in perfectly and hopefully i can
help break down how this 22 version came about so before we get into the comparisons i want to make
sure that i break down this sneaker so you guys have a full in-depth understanding of the shoe
and all the crazy details on it then we'll talk about comparisons and numbers and resale values
and what i think and what you think and everything like that starting with the bottom of the shoe you
have an all gray air jordan one outsole going up to the midsole all white with the white stitch
and then the upper all the upper when it comes to the base color blocking on this sneaker you could
look at this in two different ways you could consider it as a bread color blocking because
it has the same color blocking or you could call it the shadow simply because it's essentially the
same color i do think that it's very interesting that they went with the band theme and we didn't
get a bread colorway on this shoe but i'm also kind of getting that old-school black and white
film vibe when it comes to the video and the commercial back in the day and then having
that prominent red x on the back of the heel now when it comes to the actual materials on the upper
you have leather all throughout the sneaker and it's almost like it's like a cracked kind
of leather hopefully i can show you the details with some closer up images but it's not actually
cracked and it doesn't fully look tumbled it's hard to explain honestly hopefully these close-up
shots can give you guys a better look and when it comes to the overall feel and touch of the shoe
it has kind of a rough feel yet a soft feel at the same time so i can't say this is the best or
the worst quality it's almost kind of like in its own lane now when you look at every black area on
the shoe from the toe box the mid foot or the back area around the collar that all has the same words
that you saw on the top of the box with the same exact font and it has that kind of glossy print
all throughout the upper and when you go to the toe box the swoosh or around the heel
you have the same exact quote but it looks like it's a different font and it's a lot smaller
with the white print over the gray compared to that glossy finish that matches with the upper
and honestly when i look at it a little bit more i feel like it's more of a light gray text compared
to a white text going to the side of the hill you have your standard air jordan wings logo here
on the mesh tongue same thing all black these come standard with a pair of black laces and then on
the top of the tongue you have a black patch with the white nike air techs and you have a second
pair of white laces that go with these as well looking at the sock liner in the insole everything
is all black with the white text and it says nike air on both of those and then obviously like we
spoke about earlier you got the red band x on the back now this is something i really wanted to get
into breaking down the comparisons between these two especially because this is like the band 1.0
version that never saw the light of day because it actually got scrapped it went to outlet stores
was considered a b grade release and never was actually really a release at all like it was an
idea that kind of came to life but didn't really technically so it's not like officially a band
one yet it is at the same i don't know it's kind of hard to explain essentially to sneaker heads
we call these the band ones because they did kind of come out but when you actually think
about it these are like the official first band one release but because of the confusion i think
that's why they call these the rebellionaires and called it more of a rebellion like sneaker
compared to the banned air jordan ones so when it comes to the lingo and the words behind the
use of the promo on the current release i think that's kind of what plays in the factor as well
on why they call these the rebellion errors and if that was completely confusing let me know
down below in the comment section because i was just thinking about what i just said right there
i don't even know if that made sense but hopefully it did and if it didn't another way
you could think about it is to sneaker heads we might call these the band 1.0 and these the band
2.0 but then you got the other people that's like well the breads the ones that came out in 2016.
nah nah nah nah bruh those are just the bread ones they tried to put a whole new thing on
it these got the band x i feel like if you don't got the bandage you can't call them the band ones
that's just how i feel but again we can talk about that later so anyways when you look at these two
shoes side by side like i was just talking about the band x is something that is very very iconic
it's kind of got that red paintbrush stroke like you see here on the box and you see that
same exact print on the back end of the heels of these two shoes as well and when it comes to the
comparison of these two shoes i was definitely interested to see what people think about these
simply because you know it's kind of like a hot drop it's the latest greatest type thing
but i know for a fact a lot of people like the bands and if i could only pick one of these two
i would definitely go with these bands right here now i wanted to see what the people think
so if you haven't already follow me on ig so you can participate in the polls and see the results
here on the channel this is what they said 86 of the people chose the band ones and 14 of the
people chose the rebellionaire ones i think that completely makes into my eyes i already explained
how i feel about it now let's see what people think about the shadows because i got some type
of feeling that they're gonna like these a little bit more than the shadows because they're all
crazy and limited and all those other things but i hope they don't i still hope that more
people go towards the shadows let's just see what the results say and we have a perfect score 69 of
the people chose the shadows and 31 of the people chose the rebellionaires you can never go wrong
with a score like that so it's pretty obvious everybody likes the older models a little bit more
but now i'm wondering do they even like this shoe at all let's see what they think if this shoe is
fire or trash 79 of the people chose fire and 21 of the people chose trash completely makes sense
it's a new hot release and i know it doesn't compare to the older ones but at the same time
for what it is and not being comparing to other things people are still gonna appreciate it and
i still love the shoe as well don't get me wrong i don't dislike these because i like
the other ones more i was just saying if they were compared i would pick the other one i do
feel like this is more of a trophy item type sneaker something that you might put on display
maybe wear a little bit less simply because it has that crazy vibe to it and some people
may or may not see themselves actually wearing this sneaker with the outfit and i completely
understand that side as well another sneaker that comes to mind with this shoe that i didn't
compare this to is the jeter air jordan one those also have a little bit of a similar vibe when it
comes to the all-over print and the different styles and kind of kind of being a little bit
harder for sneaker to wear with an outfit so now let's talk about numbers and final opinions on
this shoe as of right now these are hidden for somewhere around 400 to 500 bucks retail is 170
and a lot of people have been giving mixed reviews on what they expect to happen with this shoe
after it comes out i've heard a lot of people say hey she's probably gonna be worth somewhere around
300 and i've heard a lot of other people say hey this shit's gonna be worth somewhere around 700.
so let me know what you guys think down below in the comment section i am very interested to hear
what people think about this shoe it's supposed to be coming out in mainly limited boutique type
shops and we're not gonna see it on sneakers app and there's gonna be more info that's supposed
to leak out on the internet based off of the different release dates and if you want me to
make a full video on where to cop and how to cop let me know down below in the comment section and
i'll try to get a video out for you guys as soon as possible before the shoes actually come out
to the public so either way this is going to be a pretty limited release they're supposed to be
around 60 000 pairs that are supposed to hit north america so we shall see how the people react to
it but i think at the end of the day in time this could easily be one of those trophy-like sneakers
it's similar to the band air jordan one how it's like a 1500 shoe i wouldn't look past seeing
this sneaker hover up somewhere around 800 to a thousand dollars maybe a few years from now but
again only time will tell and we shall see shout out to untied la for helping me secure a pair if
