Air Jordan 1 OG High CO.JP Midnight Navy 2020

[@WearTesters]

Hey Guys! What do you guys think of the Japan exclusive Air Jordan 1 making a return in 2020? Are you happy with the results or would have preferred they stay in 2001? Thank you so much for watching, liking and commenting. Doing those three things really help the channel grow. We hope you're all safe and we'll catch you on the next one!

[@truthseekertruthspeaker5240]

These look very good.

[@rusdiworkeo1889]

Yes, do the mocha 1's please

[@mrfeedursoul]

🔥🔥🔥

[@oliverg6643]

These were the very first pair of Jordans i paid resell for for back in 2001. Got em on ebay because that was pretty much the only way to have a shoe you couldn't find in stores anymore. These are a must have for me and they release 1 day before my bday. What a nice gift to myself lol. Personally i like these just a little more than the 2001 pair because they're highs instead of mids.

[@freddycoronado2496]

I had the 01 pair and didn't know what I had at the time and now I have to cop these on the 14th Keep up the great content bro

[@carlosandkicks]

Man, the shoe knowledge is unmatched!!

[@lazarorodriguez5161]

Well Said.....👏👏👏👏

[@K412JONES]

Truth✊🏿

[@phliteone]

actually not really... original was a high and didnt have jeweled logo it was stamped... they did release a mid later on... also this shoe has vinyl tongue not leather same goes for ankle collar... original shoe was actual suede not nubuck etc....

“Everybody is trying to be unique by looking exactly the same”- the truest s**t ever lmao

[@scginda803]

Everyone is trying to look unique, which means they all have the same goal.

[@DeathrowDC]

@Black Jesus no that's false. There are thousands of brands and thousands of silhouettes to choose from (tops, pants and shoes).

Every man needs a lady with this admiration and attention in his life, God bless y'all and salute.

[@TheClutch166]

I was a freshman in high school in 2001 and I had the bred mid and that’s truly starting my obsession with sneakers!!!

[@chantos14]

Also, the shoe game knowledge is unmatched!!! Didn’t think I’d get into the shoe game, but I’m a part of it and I love this channel!!

[@JvilleNC]

2020 has been trash. But Weartesters has been a definite highlight. Very glad I came across your channel this year. Thank you Chris and Jodi for what you do.

[@cmtz13]

I can just picture Chris introducing Mrs. Wing to the Air Jordan 1 😭

[@mikeh.9954]

Wouldn't she have been Ms. Maiden Name at the time? 😂

[@marioarroyo2006]

And right after that he probably introduced her to Lil’ Chris !

[@jonathanpho8233]

Can we get a full sneaker collection one day. Would love to see what you kept and have away over the years.

[@RageElixir]

Those are so fire

[@superheaty]

Im still waiting on that "for resellers" video u mentioned These pair are hard to get in my country, resellers made them so expensive

[@Hillzy_Eighty7]

[@Caveman7091]

I backspace the first second over and over to sound like the beat to Grindin' and now I can't unhear it.

[@shoebebryant6328]

I come for the trips down memory lane and history lessons. I remember my first retros in 10th grade in 2000, the jordan 5 metallic. Keep bringing the nostalgia!

[@thepickle7757]

We're same age group, I was mostly an Air Max guy and when 99 -01 came around I grabbed the Black Cement 3s, Infrared 6s, and all the 11s released...now I'm picky about most Js or Air Max

[@fedormichael]

This pair is fire! Thanks for another great video. And actually here in the Netherlands they do have special releases/colorways, just not on the AJ1, but on the Air Max 1 and Air Max 90. Keep up the good work. You guys are def my favorite sneaker reviewers!

[@kennyxbusic]

size? drops a lot of crazy exclusives for your area, right?

[@vinnyninja3552]

Started watching this channel for specs and reviews, now I watch for the stories 🙌 This shoe is cool, love the tongue and the jordan wings on the side, and this colorway is better 👌

[@manic_maniac_man_marvin3271]

One of my favorite Jordan 1s being turned into a hi! One of my sneaker pet peeves are white midsoles or outsoles and the pure starch white color being tossed into unnecessary colorways. This color scheme works very well regardless of my pet peeves. I know I wouldn't be able to get these but still glad to see these come back in an altered form.

[@kicks_one_eight]

Sneaker of the year for me and I don’t even have them yet. 🙏🏼gotta hit on these cashing in all my Ls this year

[@justinx2699]

Whoa! This is the pair I have been waiting all year for! (I wasn't into sneakers way back in the day) P.S. I'm so sorry Chris, but the "pop your hip out" part will always make me laugh 😂

[@zerokool85]

I love this AJ 1's. I got 2 pairs for retail! The quality of the materials is really good.

[@variandavid377]

“Everyone is trying to be unique by looking the same”....I believe that’s the motto and company mission statement for The GAP. 🤣 Japan always had mad crazy colors for the AJ 1. Growing up I would go to this Japanese bookstore and they had BOON magazine...it’s like a lifestyle/ sneaker mag in japan. It was the first time I saw the AJ 1 in more than the original colorways....there were crazy colors including the all silver, but most were “Chicago colorway” based with different colors on the colored panels.

[@glenzeray]

Those and the silvers were available in new tour back in 01. Back when they were flat as paper and you had to make sure you didn’t step on any acorns

[@babyface7440]

2023 still watching, love from Philippines :)

[@wholelottabull]

I bought a pair of these in Australia back in 01. Still have them

[@JoshL08]

A video every day these last 4 days?! Weartesters y'all spoil us

[@oscarnarvaez5440]

In 1994, I twice walked into champs and picked up the Jordan 1 chicago, and the Jordan 3 black cement for like 60 bucks each!!😆😆 them days are long gone!!😔

[@socalkebu]

Do you still have them? I throw on my '94 1's occasionally. The foot bed is a little sunken but they are holding up.

[@oscarnarvaez5440]

@@socalkebu naw, I wore out the 3's, the 1's I ended up giving away! Back in a different time when you wore your sneaks and didn't put much thought into them otherwise!

[@YoItsMikeee]

The Jordan 15 is dope man, I had them in like 3rd/4th grade and I wore them everywhere!! I had the all black ones, SUPER COMFY and build like TANKS!!

[@johnnyx5623]

Have watched only 1 review and I already love you

[@rockinghipster82]

I’ve been on the border for waiting for these to come out (if i had a chance to cop) or just paying the resell because how badly I want these but this video sold it for me

[@edgarorozco3513]

Best time to get them is now if youre paying resale

[@IID]

10:07 NW - remember when you bought me this Mrs NW - *looks like she doesnt remember Also Mrs NW - *nods this is true love people

[@noelbucks7035]

I'm 30 i remember seeing them back in the day but had no clue they were exclusive. Still nostalgic to me even just had seeing the shoe with those jeweled wings that were on the patent leather mids

[@Sgtgee]

I was working at NikeTown ny when these came out. While they were a Japan exclusive we somehow got them in our inventory but never stood a chance on the shelves. Back then in 2001 we had an influx of Japanese consumers always traveling here to the US on standby with body bag size duffles ready to just swoop up the inventory we had so was never able to get a pair. Glad 19 years later I’m able to get the W on SNKRS for these. Just 🔥

[@oliverg6643]

Man this was the very first pair of Jordans i paid resell price for back in 2001. It was love at first sight they were sold out everywhere and i just had to have them. Paid $180 resell and they were only like $100 retail if i remember correctly. Luckily i was one of the very few kids in HS with a part time job so i didn't mind paying what i did. These are a must cop for me and they're releasing 1 day before my bday, what a perfect gift to myself lol

[@langkanai]

Dope. I was born in 85 and for me it was the Penny's that got me into sneakers in like 5th grade or something. Then it was the Questions and finally when the 12s came out in middle school and I was hooked. Obviously air max 95, too. Man, good times.

[@johnlindsay7301]

That’s how you Color-block a shoe. If Jordan Brand kept to that scheme, they wouldn’t have any duds. Obviously they have to mix things up every now and again, and sometimes they find a new blocking that actually works. But this here, these shoes…Yes!

[@lazarorodriguez5161]

The 80’s was the BEST, as far as the Sneakers IMO....IVE BEEN SAYIN THAT FOR YEARS.....2000/2001 Resurrection of Nike Dunks and Air Jordan 1’s is Crazy. Not gonna lie I got the Nike Dunk Low 2001 Brazil Colorway, earlier this year. Couldn’t afford them at the time I was DEAD BROKE in 2001 and my parents were definitely NOT GONNA BUY name brand sneakers lol 😂. Only Payless( R I P) or Fabco sneakers, ah memories..... Didn’t even know these came out again, THANK YOU 🙏

[@robertmccormick1045]

These are fire. Hopefully I can get a pair.

[@pmontyjaaaymes488]

3years later. Still love my Co Japan Navy's

[@howardscott898]

D.O.P.E I’m a 70s Baby and Watched every game Jordan ever played in the 1s,2s,And 3s are very sentimental 👑👑👑

[@eloheemstar71]

I got a pair from Flight Club about a decade ago. I've always worn 1's & Dunks even when the hype wasn't there. In the 80's it was hard to wear bred color ways because Knicks but I loved the shoe so I would get alternate colors. I have a pair on the way. 1st Copp of 2020

[@kl2389]

Resellers killed this pair. Most of them didn't even know the history of the shoe. For them it's just a Jordan 1 with good resell value that's it.

[@gratefuldames]

They not blowing these numbers out of proportion, thank God. Managed to snag a pair for 220 after SNKRS did me dirty. I got these for the culture.

[@johnnathanielgureng9197]

Quality of the leather is not just good but the best this year.

[@cjcj86]

I have the original Mids they are BEAT. Can’t wait to grab these

[@Nustart999]

Have not worn these yet but I was really hype to get a pair the of Jordan 1 can’t wait for summer

[@vahebaldemian]

Back in the day, the white/navy ina mid top and the black/red in a high top, both released on the same day. They were both numbered. The black/red was a bit more limited. The white/navy did have a jumpman on the back. It was summer of 2001. The black/red had the nylon tongue but the swoosh on the side of the shoe was a nubuck/suedeish material.

[@oDDmahnsta]

The trademark inaugural whiff is so necessary

[@johncarvalho5981]

I kick myself in the ass I had every OG original 1 to 5 in very good shape and my mom threw them all way after I moved out. I still believe that Jordan Brand should give us old sneaker heads first dibs on retros. I watched every game Jordan played I was a New York knicks fan so I hated the Bulls but respected his kicks. It’s got to be the shoes. Great video✌️

[@christopherlaw2460]

I was also poor asf when retro Jordan took off in 98-99. No cap, but I actually passed on the retro iv for the jump man pro quicks because I didn’t know anything about them. I always ponder how that shoe could have changed my life. And when these dropped, I could only admire my classmate, Mike’s, pair. Thank you for another great video!

[@WearTesters]

😱

[@MrChickenicecream]

1:13 That's a sleeping on the couch laugh if I ever heard one.

[@dre3k92]

The US got both pairs in mid tops and Japan got the high versions and black leathers

[@WearTesters]

💯

[@bphangamer]

Japan has a lot of Nike exclusive cws because of Nike’s start and partnership with Japanese shoe company onitsuka. Phil knight studied a lot of Japanese culture while on his business trips to onitsuka hq. Just one of the reasons👍

[@balazs7235]

A few years back, maybe like 3 years ago, I remember walking into my local FootLocker and seeing some Jordan 5s I believe with maybe 3s sitting on the back shelf aka the “non-popular” shelf. Pretty funny looking back now.

[@TroublePsych]

yeah for sure. Jordans used to sit at retailers, funny how now almost every release sells out. Hype or not.

[@dannygonzalez6548]

I know what Jodi said bout the stacked logo. When its on the back of a 4 it looks off centered and here it looks more evenly distributed and pleasing to the eye 👁

[@NS-rp1wg]

I’m older than you but unfortunately the first Air Jordan I remember were the Concord XIs. We were a Showtime Lakers and then the Rockets household before MJ came back, and then that’s when I really started watching him.

[@richarddrewwaltoniv]

These are going straight to feet when they release. I love these. One to rock & one to stock.

[@rusdiworkeo1889]

Thanks for reviewing this pair. It is dope seriously. The colourway is gorgeous

[@angelkila]

Had em back in hs in 01 on release day, my fav color will try to dbl up on these. My most anticipated cops of da yr

[@dtrayed33]

I have the low SB of these with the red Jumpman on the toe. People ask to buy them off my feet all the time which always makes me feel proud & weird.

[@andrewchan2978]

Love these AJ1s but what really caught my eye are the NW1s in the background 🔥🔥🔥

These dropped here in the Philippines like a week ago.. and the moment it dropped it was sold out in minutes even the youth sizes which i wear.. ugh! These Jordan 1’s are lit 🔥

[@ronaldrabanes2452]

i got my first jordan1 high og bred in 1986,i was in jr high im still coping 1s now

[@gerardrobert758]

Had these in high school hopefully I can cop

[@D_KimRaiders]

These are awesome! Love these better than the mochas.

[@Behindthescenegreen1]

Still got my 01' pair the leather quality is unmatched, even with the yellow midsole and missing wings logos I still love pulling them out 👌🏾

[@cobrakai726]

I remember back in 2001 when these came out. It was only 3,000 pairs made , I couldn’t afford it anyways. I’m getting the 2020 for sure

[@Lcs_ss]

The best KZbin channel right here, ladies and gentlemen

[@ItsAboutBuss]

When i saw your wearing Power Rangers shirt i had to Like the video instantly fr fr 💯🔥🔥🔥 LOL

[@brauprx]

I remember those J1 retro with the serial number on the tongue, those were pretty nice and undervalued back then. BTW, I usually agree with you Chris, except with things like the Jordan XV being beautiful XD, but it's kind of weird because I love the sneakers inspired on them or takedown from them, like the Swift 6 or more actual like the Ultra.fly 2 and Why Not Zer0.1. Anyway, great video as always!!!

[@explosivelee5303]

I have the grey co.jp and I'm looking forward to getting me a pair of these to complete the set!

[@bcwilson227]

I love how your wife just waited so patiently as you gave that whole history lesson in Jordan 1s, retros, and cultural trends in sneakers from the 80s until now and then just says “ok” 🤣. Reminds me of when I get really excited and passionate about something and share it with my g/f lol.

[@soleassassin3616]

Just got my pair in the mail, had to unbox with ya. Had the mids in my eBay watch list for awhile. Glad I waited, there dope AF.

[@ntrinidad716]

Ive always loved this shoe, you barely saw them in 2001 around me. I was a freshmen in College at the time most of the people rocking 1s was all the fly girls haha oh them days, I cant wait to get my pair. I copped the Lo version SB did and was dying for this to drop.

[@Pumkinhead541]

Drink some water today!

[@gilandsebastian1042]

Japan sneaker game is crazy man always lit walking around especially in Harajuku 🔥

[@kennyxbusic]

Australia actually gets a ton of exclusive colorways. Read up on the Air Max Plus/TN in Australian sneaker culture.

[@CatcherOfBass]

Thank you Nike for not releasing these with the Jumpman on the heel.

[@kymadd.5583]

I had the lows that are like these and am excited to see the high version

[@christopherlaw2460]

Btw, 2 things. I think the xv’s turned people to retros which coincided with the first time the space jams were released.

[@WearTesters]

In our area the 15s were fairly popular.

[@billyblanks6394]

Love the original old school power ranger t shirt. N-E-Way great review per usual.

[@melneves8529]

just got a pair off Snkrs exclusive access baby

[@FredyVergara]

May get them as they remind me of my Cowboys⭐️

[@Exalted_Example]

The wings logo is nice. My OG new love has that one. not fogged either!

[@simonerivi2974]

BEST JORDAN OF THE YEAR

[@Ginzu232]

Got it over retail. Had to...Quality is crazy and the simple yet nice colorway does it for me! Sidenote: noticed you graduated highschool in 2001, so did I! Little "fun fact". Hahaha 🤙

[@ninjaeijuf]

I really hope after this pandemic is over, you and Mrs Nightwing come to Japan

[@turbo6598]

And let us not forget that the original CP Japan's came in a suitcase👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@badcopdj]

I believe there's a slight generalisation regarding trainers / runners consumption by Mr Nightwing outside of the US. I grew up in small town in Sweden were retros sold well. Back in the mid 90s you could pick up Chicago 1s in my local sports shop and they didn't sit on the shelves. Just saying... Love the channel though, never disappoints!

[@WearTesters]

It was a generalization not specific to your exact location. So while that is your experience based on where you lived that is not the experience throughout the rest of the UK. Your small town likely had a very limited amount of pairs allocated which would make it hard for them to sit due to low quantities.

[@badcopdj]

​@@WearTesters Just to reiterate I'm referring to growing up in a small town in Sweden in the 90s, not the UK where I reside currently. The sneaker culture has been, and still is, well established beyond traditional "runners" across Europe. You are right though that runner type kicks are more prevalent than Js etc. That said, walking down Oxford Street London a few weeks back, every second "trendy kid" seemed to be rocking 1s!
