85 Air Jordan 1 Chicago Buyers Guide - How to buy your first 1985 OG Jordan

[@mjo23dan]

Very very informative! Would love to see you compare factories like TY1, BY, TH, etc

[@_Rob]

I’ve been trying so long to figure out if these by are legit

[@VintageKicksGallery]

That means a lot coming from you! You're in luck- I have TH vs BY vs TY1 chicago comparison shot but it needs to be edited still. I found some very interesting differences. I also compared the ST-P vs BY Naturals as well. Stay tuned!

[@VintageKicksGallery]

Finally shooting this comparison. I found some interesting differences.

[@mjo23dan]

VintageKicksGallery looking forward to it

[@TripleKmafia]

@@VintageKicksGallery I don’t see the video in your uploads.

[@kennyxbusic]

I'm so happy to have found your channel. I struggle so hard to find youtubers who have worthwhile content. With sneakers almost every youtuber comes across like a total douche and they all grab the same hype shoes. My all-time favorite channel was Jordan Geller's from Shoezeum. Learned so much from watching his videos, and I can already tell I will continue to learn from watching yours.

[@brich6875]

Pretty cool video and informative. When are t shirts going to be up for sale on website?

[@mattthewl]

on the mailing list:) cant wait for more vids, man.

[@skipst23firekicks3]

Nice video I got a mint pair of these with original box and extra original laces 💪🏼🔥

[@VintageKicksGallery]

Nice! I have a dope unboxing dropping soon of complete set as well

[@daweiyan3934]

I always has this question in mind, wonder if the value would go up or go down when people restore Air Jordan 1 (1985) as a lot of them were obviously worn out, not as nice as brand new ones. After restoration using current technologies, e.g. paint, clean, leather replacement, sole replacement etc, would the shoes still hold the original value (e.g. $20k)? note that the shoes were from 1985, the value was due to the age, if restorated, a lot of the parts would be replaced by the brand new parts, would the value go down?

[@dcalzini]

So basically i have to pay 1000+ dollars while have to trust the owner on whether the sole is soft or not lol. They can just lie lol

[@kyokuslaps2411]

I mean you could say that on buying any sneaker at resale

[@TripleKmafia]

No, they can’t. You can ask for a picture or video of the soles being flexed.

[@packat78]

hello. i have a pair of 85 chicago's (size 10.5) that belonged to my pops. they've been in my basement for 9 years! It's hard to put a value on these. Any ideas on where to start? Ebay prices are anywhere from $2k - $5k. They do need some reconditioning for sure! But think the stuff that matters is there. LMK. thanks!

[@emptycemetery]

When i saw the shoes Their a beauty

[@johnkiesling17]

I also have a pair of 1985 OG Jordan 1’s size 13 with box. Beautiful shoe. Looking to sell but waiting on the right buyer

[@GreenDragonPainting]

Great video as always! 😀 It's like you read my mind!🤯 I was wondering about pretty much everything you touched on!

[@albertoascari9390]

Wait... So are you saying that Michael Jordan shoe size is actually 12 in today's retro sizing?

[@TripleKmafia]

Never thought of it that way before…

[@alexmathewmendoza]

This was very helpful, thank you!

[@druwvargo4287]

This channel is gonna blow up!

[@bffgurl14]

I have an OG 1985 pair in size 13 this color way. I am wanting to sell!

[@marcuscarr123]

Hey Peyton I'm a sz 13 what's your ig?

[@einstein3185]

How much

[@Charlie43348]

You still selling?

[@einstein3185]

I will buy don’t listen to this fool ^Whats your lowest offer and what’s the condition

[@VictordeBoissieu]

Hello will buy

[@tonihill5274]

Great video, love the work...do you have a website? And do you sell some of the 85s you restore? Esp the chicagos

[@mikeuofl2244]

Thanks for the video. Very informative. I have a pair of Red and Black Jordan 1 OG in size 10. They are in the original box with hang tag, two pair of laces ( unlaced), MJ card, original tissue paper. Never worn or tried on. Any idea of the value?

[@NukesBussin]

Do you have Instagram? I can give you some info

[@mikeuofl2244]

Jay Burna: Thanks Jay. Yes, I have an Instagram account. Contact me any time. I think I am the only Curtin on there.

[@NukesBussin]

Mike UofL what is your Instagram account?

[@owenyoung9645]

Unworn??? You’re looking at 5 grand minimum IMO

[@BlackipinoGambino]

Holy I love 1’s to death and I really want dunk highs too! (Def a insta subscribe) But being a size 13 is so hard cause it’s so hard finding my size let alone finding it for a good price. Feel like all the prices are jumping up with all the recent dunks dropping. I should’ve pulled the trigger on some gorge green dunk highs on flight club for 200 like a year or 2 ago 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@TripleKmafia]

I found a size 14 that was sold a few months ago. I’m a TTS 12, so I bought a pristine VNDS size 13. Size 14 is WAY harder to find. Sorry man, but the odds of finding another one for you to wear isn’t likely.

[@ericmedeiros5990]

You never mention prices at the end! Like you said you was.

[@ggtwinbee8506]

I was thinking of looking for the 85 Metallics specifically the metallic blues/greens

[@oliversplace263]

Just giving away the secrets huh?!? Great vid man.

[@BlackipinoGambino]

So if I’m a 13 in today’s Jordan 1’s I should get a 14 in the 85’s? damn, that’s crazy haha

[@BrandonBuiltVideos]

MUGKID hope you aren’t trying to wear them

[@frankocean788]

Im Brandon lol fr

[@jeremyh172]

Great video!

[@wheresmyrooptoff4056]

sad that years later resellers now have scalped every japanese listing and are scamming ppl for 1k and above on 85's 😂

[@jev06]

I love the quality

[@sandmanarecomin1485]

I have a pair like these but the white part is replaced with black and the Nike sign is red and laces are black

[@korlinloftis1964]

Where can you buy just the og box, I can’t seem to find any place that has it/will sell it

[@spunky181]

I have some thanks for the info I’m trying to see what they are worth

[@luckydice__8597]

Where can I find a 85 OG box in need one in US 9!

[@TOShorts]

Thank you.

[@aviazx1799]

Where did you get your sneaker display boxes from?

[@nathan53735]

Man I still got my pair had em since I was a kid lol but there a sz 6c I wonder how much I can sell em for

[@TripleKmafia]

I just checked the prices. They go for around $550-700.

[@redrumkira4214]

How much would you pay for a pair today that is a 8/10 condition size 10 no if box but has the tag

[@YO10_19]

How do 94s fit?

[@watwrongwichu2578]

I'm tryna cop some of those beauties

[@t_thegreat6]

85s 🔥

[@shonshon64]

Leather conditioner maybe? Moisturize your leather!

[@o0MadHouse0o]

So im a UK 8 / US 9 - If I was buying to wear, id need to look at US 10s?

[@thomascalderon598]

It depends because the og 1s are more narrow shaped so if you're a wide foot most likely you'll go up a full size. if you are a medium, half a size would be recommended.

[@o0MadHouse0o]

Thomas Calderon perfect thanks

[@bigjay369369]

Dam good video bro! I swear your my new favorite shoe tuber! $teel City in dis bitch!

[@modicho]

How do they fit?

[@theboysacdnr1659]

I literally cannot find a single pair in a size 13 that’s under $3,000

[@VintageKicksGallery]

That's a tough size lately. It doesn't help that it is MJ's size as well.

[@pb3]

The Last Documentary doubled the chicago 1's re sell value if not more

[@omfgcows]

Puppy!

[@nathan-3549]

Hey I have OG metallic Navy and was wondering how much they are worth

[@nathan-3549]

They are in decent condition imo

[@glowsticcowo]

That's great but I'm not rich, not really helpful especially being a shoe ad on KZbin.
