Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG "Year of the Dragon" (Lunar New Year): Review & On-Feet

As we approach the upcoming Lunar New Year, following their tradition over the last few years, Jordan Brand is releasing an Air Jordan 1 Low OG to celebrate the Year of the Dragon. This pair opts for a mix of smooth leather, scaly leather panels, and shiny overlays in colours that honour the holiday. Check out my review to get a closer look and to see how they look on feet! Anyone copping these?

The storytelling, packaging and details is something you expect from Nike SB but Jordan nailed this. A must have in the collection

[@SeanGo]

🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@lechon2132]

Got ‘em a week ago. For me it’s worth getting it.

[@creativehola1882]

Is it collectable?

[@mickeyvd1979]

I got them myself. Wonderful pair of shoes. I have been collecting Jordans for almost 25 years now. I wear them almost every day since the day I got them!

[@theogpop]

This is a pair I absolutely want. I was born in the Year of the Dragon. It's a must have for me. Dope review as always Brother with the literal iced outsoles

[@danielg.1365]

Great review as always! Love the touch of snow in your on feet review ❤

[@mbrawn7]

Man, these are sweet! Would love to add these to the collection

[@arturoflores488]

Really nice review bro. I’m happy that the reselling for jordans have flopped and that the ppl who truly want these can get them with no problem.

[@VinG1213]

These are a must cop, especially due to my new born girl little dragon, paying homage to her and my wife’s Chinese culture. Thanks for reviewing Sean!

[@SeanGo]

🙏🙏🙏🐉

[@Keideezy]

correct me if im wrong but i think the year of the dragon starts feb 10th?

[@VinG1213]

@@Keideezy- I’ve received various feedback from my wife’s family and friends ( older & younger generations ) where some say it counts on the year, and others consider on actual lunar new year. Its never a cut and dry reply even with busdist questions I have, always receive multiple replies 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@alycks6056]

Babies born before Chinese new year Feb 10, 2024 is still Rabbit (2023)..I was born the year of the snake but since my bday is right before Chinese new year I’m still dragon, dragon tail that is. U can ask any Chinese ppl or Asians in general. they will tell u the same.

[@VinG1213]

@@alycks6056 Thanks for your input. the funny thing is that my wife is Chinese and Vietnamese decent, and both sides of the family can’t confirm and even when I asked at the Budist temple in our trip to Australia and back home it’s always up for debate. 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

[@celestial_stroll]

I really want these. Would definitely be in my top 10 for 2024.

[@rjbasilio2002]

Just got mine yesterday, I LOVE IT!

Well done video. I loved how well done the review was. Im a follower now. These are must cop.

[@ws4835]

Hit on SNKRS this morning. Year of the dragon so I went for it.

[@StAtIc__5]

Great video. Great review. They definitely look great. It would be nice to try to get these. I hope 🎉🎉

Thank you sean, and happy new year, more cop, more blessing for the familly and success plus health

Great photos to match the theme as usual 🐲🐉! The snowy balcony hits different too lol.

[@MrRashad8869]

Excellent review! Really loved this pair from when I first saw images but thought that it would be no chance to cop. Hoping to secure a pair

[@silvercanopy07]

Short and nice review 🎉

[@oojii6285]

These are beautiful

[@theogpop]

Finally got my pair! I must say that I agree on the sizing. Most could probably comfortably got down half a size for a snug fit. I need the extra room so I didn't mind. I think it's a beautiful sneaker. The look and feel of the scales is unique. This was a personal pair because I was born on the Year of the Dragon.

[@ManCave1972]

You can trust Sean to come early with an early quality review. The images worried me about the materials but these look nicer on the review. My kind of shoe

[@free__fall4974]

I was going to pass on these but after seeing them on foot I really do like em so i'll try going for them thank you

[@egrose]

Your review confirms that i should get them! I totally prefer kicks that are wearable & understated. Also, it's my year; i hope that means it's my year for a W on snkrs. 🤷‍♂

[@Vscounter]

Might have to get this for CNY!

[@edward9724]

Looking great and have special material looking like a dragon skins on the shoes

[@vicaradriano7571]

W from SNKRS 🎉. Great detailed review 🐉💯🙌🏼

[@jsk8719]

Hi Sean. Great review. Got 2 pairs. Not sure if anyone noticed. The dragon and jumpman logo behind the Nike tag on the tongue, small detail but special. I’ve never seen any jordan 1s that has a design element fused together with the jumpman logo.

[@AlanNoMoney]

That thumbnail is 🔥 another great video bro

[@SeanGo]

Glad you like it 🙏

[@cheex9861]

as a jordan 1 low bias, I need these!!

[@truetrav7333]

I neeeed these!!!!!

[@legoatttt]

super dope 🔥

[@bigadorn]

Excellent review! Would love to know where the reviewed Nike’s are manufactured. I find the quality is generally better from China. Vietnam and Indonesia are stepping up their game lately. Thanks always, Sean 🔥🔥🔥Happy and Healthy Year of the Dragon🔥🔥🔥

[@jonathany.1515]

I think this is the best colorway out of the three (2 adults & a GS), with more details too. I’ll try to cop if it’s possible 😅

[@moff_gideon]

Jordan brand did a great job with these

[@zanemontego8090]

They’re a really good look on feet.

[@peytonspehn6291]

Mine should be here in a couple hours!

[@Redheadkingpinn]

It’s a go!!!

[@gameboi360]

They could have easily gone down a gawdy route with these but they scaled it back and kept it so simple yet stylish. Trying to cop a pair myself, fingers crossed! 🐉

[@SeanGo]

good luck

[@Timbo16888]

Need them for sure. Def switching out the red laces for sail for more wearability

[@barryschalkwijk9388]

I thought so too, but in person the reds look too good to swap. It really ties the theme together so i left them in.

[@jhonedaniel08]

I already had it today , the shoes looks more awesome in the flesh 😍🐉🥰

[@sceneitallwithjeffandjon6984]

How? I thought release was 1.24.

[@MacLeodTheFuzz]

as usual Sean has it right: these should probably bought 1/2 size down for normal width feet

[@duyonglee6414]

Maybe it’s just Korean thing but every year there is also a color and animal combination. This year is actually blue dragon, which made me have hoped that Nike threw some blue colors in their design.

[@damienjeremyweir4543]

I will cop if the price is retail or not far off. Im not feeling anything expensive for 2024, I can just chill but a really nice colourway and design for sure🐉

Sizing I go half size down. However on the new OG 85 releases I’d stick to TTS. They come snug. So going half size down on those was a mistake.

yup!

[@stefan2serb]

Great review Sean! A nice pair, not quite as nice as the year of the rabbit pair but decent. I have noticed too over the last 10 years how more and more non-mainland Chinese now refer to it as the lunar new year. Back in the day all my Taiwanese, HK and Malaysian Chinese friends would still say CNY but I guess the CCP is trying to claim a monopoly on the term so I understand the switch. Kind regards from London, UK. 🫡

[@sceneitallwithjeffandjon6984]

Does the satin inner heel cause any slippage? I had the Eddie Huang CNY Ultraboost in red and gold, absolutely one if my favorite UB colorways, but that satin inner material caused too much sliding to feel comfortable, so I ended up selling them. 😢

[@SeanGo]

if you get the sizing right i think it’s fine, but yeah it’s a bit more slick than normal I guess

[@GTfromAG]

I think im the year of the snake... but this will do until then(next year)😂😂😂

[@SeanGo]

[@areksoo]

Glad Jordan made these. So far what I've seen for LNY sneakers, it's pretty bad. The other Nike offerings are meh. The NB LNY collection isn't bad CWs, but has nothing to do with LNY. It just looks like a collection of random CWs on random sneakers put together. Also haven't seen any leaks from any other sneaker company. I thought companies would jump on the Year of the Dragon CWs. Seems like I was wrong.

New balances collection was extremely disappointing
