Comparing Michael Jordan’s Game Worn Nike Air Jordan 1 PEs With A $10,000 Deadstock Pair Of OG AJ1s

In this video I am comparing MJ's Game Worn Air Jordan 1 PEs with a $10,000 pair of Deadstock Vintage Original Air Jordan 1s from 1985.

That’s crazy he played in mids , and everyone seems to hate mids lol . I was looking at old pictures of Jordan and I did recall when I was a young teen fan in the 80’s he didn’t like high tops . He always played in mids if some sorts. Very cool video. I wish I still had my original pair from 85 . Unfortunately skateboarding was its fate on the Brooklyn banks lol

[@itsmgperez]

Dope!!.yea i was gona say growing up highs were kinda weak.now a days its all about highs

[@-007-2]

They aren't real mids. They're low highs. The cut is still the high cut, not the mid cut. Even modern day highs are different heights when placed next to each other.

[@TripleKmafia]

@@-007-2 I bought a book specifically for Jordans released in ‘84-‘86 and I can confirm they’re mids. His PE bred pair is clearly stated to be a mid in an official Nike catalogue. I haven’t found his Chicago PE pair, but I have no doubt they’d also be marked down as mids. His Bred PE’s are mids, I don’t see why these would be any different. The only difference between today’s mids and his pair are the number of lace holes. His has 9, today’s mids have 8.

[@TripleKmafia]

I found out he actually wore both mids and hi’s.

I must say I am glad you started back up making videos. You truly take a unique look at these shoes we have come to love.

[@ZeeFrankensteel]

I sold these exact shoes back then. I remember when we received them and immediately there was some sort of aura around them! I think we sold them at 150$ CDN, which was around 120 US at the time. Made 6$ an hour or so. Should have borrowed money and bought 5 pairs! But nobody can predict the future!

[@dsalpha18]

No, lets research and clone a few jordans for the dream team. XD

[@Nosebleedsandunderdogs]

Impossible back in this era players would wear the shoes as long as possible. Especially Jordan in his early years.. he probably wore these for at least 14 games before he gave them up.

[@MoreThanHype]

Wow, that deadstock pair of OG AJ1s are perfect! 🤤🤤😳

[@j-lon3564]

This is legit amazing! Those two pairs of shoes are literally pieces of sneaker and sports history. It’s comparable to what people will think of the LeBron 1’s in 15-20 years, or Ronaldinho’s Tiempo boots, this is truly amazing

[@TripleKmafia]

I don’t think anybody will see Lebron 1’s as grails. There’s no history behind his shoes. Jordans are famous because of their controversy back in the 80’s. What does Lebron have to back up his shoes? He creates super teams and ditches his teammates.

Two thoughts on what could cause the apparent difference in height between the pairs. First, the used pair are very creased just above the swoosh. The unworn pair are not. Second, are they even the same size?

[@KiddAlways]

another amazing review. i think the numbering didn't start until the air jordan 12. sneaker heads just go with hype and don't actually have their own opinions. MJ always preferred mids over highs but the sneaker world either doesn't remember or are too young to know. even after MJ not really being into the 1s and 2s one of the things that soId MJ on staying with nike was that the 4s were a mid. sneaker heads complain about the same stuff constantly like nike air, highs, want a rare color of shoe but when they release them to the public they sit cause sneaker heads didn't know that was a PE at one point. i love sneakers but wiII never be a sneaker head, i got my own opinion and buy what i like. hope aII is good with you Jordan and you are doing weII during these times.

so were jordan 1 mids never realesed to the public?

[@r.i.p2464]

I defend mids a lot of times from bashers but now im defending the highs. Y'all bashing the highs for not being the actual p.e's but if you check the difference between p.e. and mids there is a huge difference. The swoosh is alot lower and the heel tab is extremely short, which in my opinion what makes the mids undesirable to most eyes. The pe is a cropped top highs rather than an actually different shoe like the mids. If you put this next to the retail mids you'll know that this is still higher than mids.
