Air Jordan 1 High 85 "Bred" (Banned): Review & On-Feet

To celebrate its 40th anniversary, Jordan Brand launched a huge marketing campaign surrounding the release of the Air Jordan 1 High 85 "Bred" (Banned). This iconic sneaker was rebuilt to mimic the look of its original release from 1985. Tune into my review to get an in-depth look and to learn about all the details that went into this controversial release. Should the brand have released them in mass quantities, or do you see their vision in this limited run?
Big thank you to Capsule for the pair!

[@Clustehh]

So when Jordan 1s sit on shelves for years at under retail you ain’t buying the bred cw’s then…but now there’s a hyped limited colour way you want it to be mass produced 🤦‍♂️ it’s either under retail non popular shoe, or limited popular shoe take your pick you can’t have both unless of course it’s a general release pair.

[@macruz8503]

How so?

[@SouthJerseyBaitReviews]

He knows the difference between his materials. Which most of these channels don't. Half if not more of them think tumbled leather or pebbled leather is premium. When they see flat leather, they immediately say its lower quality. Which shows they don't know what they're talking about. Sean at least covers the actual slight details that make the shoe what it is.

The fact that these were extremely limited is why I'm done with Nike in general. Catering to the second hand market is just awful. I hope New Balance learned after the Jjjjound fiasco and doesn't repeat this mistake like Nike is looking to cash on with its exclusive releases.

[@jethrojacinto2798]

One of favorite sneakers of all time and Nike/Jordan brand just spit in all of our faves making this a very limited release. Now I remember why I decided to sell all my Jordans and sneakers in general. Manufactured scarcity for some overhyped cheap leather is some greedy and slimy corporate shit.

[@tomo528]

I'm older and the actual '85 OG Bred made me fall in love with sneakers as a kid. Picked up the '13 pair (tumbled '16 was a no-no for me), but I feel like I finally got my childhood favorite back (got lucky with the SNKRS Pass). TBH I don't remember exactly how the shoes were, but the shoelaces were retro'd perfectly on these.

[@jayschares]

I kind of laughed the first time I saw someone say “Influencer shoe”… really is spot on though

[@marcogin]

I like the thoughtfulness of this pair just wish they were a little more accessible at retailers. Great review Sean.

[@cedric4610]

I actually won a raffle at Somewhere DC. Still can't believe it. Didn't have the white glove treatment but I was happy with just getting the shoe. Great review per usual.

[@kevstervegas]

Entered the raffle in my area to no avail. 😂 not shocked but February looks like a great month of sneakers. Your on the feet look was really solid.

[@waltzforvenus_9164]

I paid resell . My pair shipped from Austria via goat so I’m guessing I got a backdoor pair from a German shop lol. I justified paying a premium by telling myself because of these being made as close to 85s as possible they should hold up for the rest of my life so no need for another bred retro 😂. Congrats on the W

[@IAmInfinitus208]

I still hate how extremely limited this was to select retailers. Most of us aint even near one! Especially for us Okie folk down here in OK... They better do the 85 Chicagos or Black Toes next (especially those, the Black Toe reimagineds don't count)!

[@youngozz4144]

What are you talking one of the 23 retailers was in Oklahoma City

[@SouthJerseyBaitReviews]

The reimagines are at least one of the closest we got to the OG black toe beside the cut. They even have the black Nike air tongue tag. The original design with Air Jordan on them before Jordan changed the design.

[@iandeleon8132]

So I remember a few years back, people were saying Jordan 1's started to fit a little bigger or true to size and that us wide-footers can probably stick to our original size. I'm in a few online raffles (I just can't do FCFS) and I put in my true sneaker size instead of going a half size up. Are you saying they've gone back to fitting smaller now? Thanks for the video review

[@4fawksake707]

I never had the previous releases. Where I’m at, it’s nearly impossible for me to get these. Mostly, resellers will be the ones to acquire them, and they’ll resell the shoes at an insane mark-up price. Wish I could cop a pair, I really love this one

[@ianalexandertorres6189]

Yes, I agree. At the end of the day, it's just another Jordan 1. I'd consider buying it if the price were around $180, but at $250 with limited stock, it's a tough sell. How I wish Nike and Jordan would make it more accessible to the public.

[@jdmfreak101]

Sean muddy release is an under statement in my area we had two boutique store releases they rolled out the raffles and we had no word that anybody won any raffle in any size, its also noticeable in the market place nobody is selling them in one or two pairs but theres a few that apparently got them in full size runs and are selling them, yeah backdoors are wide open on this one, thanks JB for the hard slap in the face and for letting them stores cook

[@SeanGo]

@@jdmfreak101 such a weird release…

[@stonkman3805]

I got my 2011 Banded pair and the 2016 pair. They can keep these for now at least.

[@michaelklein23]

Retail or bust for me. Still got the 16’ pair and although no longer in their best shape they’re still wearable. Do I still want these? Absolutely. But like yourself having experienced crazy comfort from running shoes I’m not paying resell for them. Saucony endorphine elite 2, adidas adizero adios pro 4, new balance balos, hoka cielo x1, brooks glycerin max to name a few. A lot of us are older “collectors” and looking to get fit again and not only are these comfortable to walk in but they provide motivation to get fit again.

[@dinukct]

$250 USD is insane.Also no SNKRS release is also weird .By the way great review .i will wait for few raffles. 🤞🏽

[@TheNightKing-h1b]

Out here in the DC they didn’t do any white glove treatment, they did regular stand in line pickup at “Somewhere” …very peaceful and organized raffle system but once u picked up pair it was like any other GR release, A Ma Manier in DC also did a basic release no white glove treatment and changed up release method while ppl were standing in line, too bad DC didn’t give us that $265 with tax white glove treatment that we were promised

They didn't need to hype up a pair that speaks for itself. The L&Fs had amazing stock, almost everyone ate, even Jordan Brand, and it still sold out. This was a middle finger to all the fans of the brand. I'll continue to look at Asics, NB, and Salomons this year for my purchases

[@M0rph123]

Loads of people missed out on L&Fs. It was messed up that Nike have made these very limited (if the rumours are correct).

[@Godeau03]

Regular AJ1 was never a cop for me, except for the AJ1 low chicago released in 2016. That shoe was executed flawlessly for the price. Bred/ Royal/ Shadow color scheme was never my taste. I always mess w Chicago, UNC, Kentucky scheme. I bought my first AJ1 high in Chicago color from VibeRemakeLab when he was still around. Amazing pair handmade. On feet it feels like a paraboot. The next pair I would buy would be from HVND. The one I'm interested right now is the Georgetown 85'.

[@Nick-zl4xd]

These fit longer than the recent regular jordan 1 high?

[@TwntyUp]

are you saying they run longer than other 85s or are you saying all 85s fit long to you?

Air Jordan 1 fatique hasn't stopped for me, I don't know man, the 1 has just lost the allure for me sadly :/. I still wear my 2016 black toes and some other older pairs but the new ones outside of these are just zzz for me. I have the YSL Bred's and flyknit Breds so won't be mad if I don't hit on these.

[@Mmnikon]

My issue with it was not all releases were handled well by the shops. A Ma Maniere completely botched the release at all their stores - I personally went to the DC one. Embarrassing even.

[@jerryaksonelam]

Jordan Logic: too many shoes are sitting.... a lot of non OG, kind of "out there" colorways, but when they actually release an OG colorway that people will actually want they make it way too difficult to get. And all that money they probably spent on marketing only to sell so little pairs?????
