As someone who needs to replace my neutral gray OG lows, I’m so hyped for this release. My outsole has almost no traction left and I’ve been wearing them daily for almost a year now.
All OG 1985 jordans with white tongues had a polyester tongue that was woven just like that! All the black 85 tongues had a silky fine woven tongue. Love JB starting to apply these small details
Dude absolutely love the Birds Eye "MJO" style for comparisons. It's way easier to see differences with the Birds Eye down cam vs the B Roll Also faint nostalgia back to the OG NW style of just hands handling shoes haha Keep it up Chris we're so grateful!
I love the effort of bringing back the '85 but tbh I find the leather quality is still disappointing with a bunch of creases just after one wear with their heavy plastic coating. And probably the shoes need to be worn more but i feel like it squeezes your feet a lot with the extra padding and all.
This AIR JORDAN 1 '85 LOW 'Neutral Grey' is an actual retro because the 'Neutral Grey' was also in low cut, in 1985 so I think they gonna give us what AIR JORDAN 1 (1985) fans want, they about ti drop 1 by 1 all the OG colorway and maybe some SAMPLE ones if not all, but we just have to be patient, I think the Chicago will be dropped in 2025 for it's 40th anniversary, if not, 50th (it would be awesome)
@@ThatWrapperDude That's a completely different type of leather & tannery process to ensure it's durable. You want to play basketball in some work boots or do you want the upper to be flexible? When breaking down something for people to learn, you have to actually do it right and with proper context otherwise you end up with a bunch of angry people claiming something that isn't factually accurate. We can't sit here and compare a Toyota Corolla to a Ferrari or a high end luxury vehicle simply because they're all vehicles. They all have a different purpose. Some are for luxury, some are for sport, some are for daily driving at affordable prices. Context is everything.
2021 Neutral grey low is my gymshoe for quite some time and haha they are a bit fucked up and somewhat the heel lining got out but without a hole its difficult to discribe but sometimes you can feel the edge of the heel construction. When it comes to looks i prefer the 2021 tbh
Thanks as always for such an informative review. And a special thanks on the sizing tip - I just got a pair and stayed true to size this time, really glad I did!
Urgh I would love that they choose to use the reverse Black/Red box instead of this White/Red box just have some consistency to the 85' cut series. As an OG sneakerhead, I hate the idea of different colour shoeboxes.
I love the comparison that you have been doing. Also agree the vibe shoe with the shape and cream color look more like a dunk. I prefer the 2023 jordan brand version.
Love the 85 Lows for the first week or two! After that the toebox shape gets completely crushed. I’ve gone through two pairs so far, and I’m not normally that crazy about creasing. Other than the plastic leather on the 2014 OG Lows, my other OG Lows seem to be holding up shape-wise way better than the ‘85 Low.
I am a fanatic for the ‘85 stuff but i am also a big fan of the fat swoosh from 2015, nike knows that consumers want the big swoosh again. The Travis collabs all have the big swoosh on the medial side of the shoe, so they can easily produce it, but they are going to stick with the business model of showing what we want, but giving something else.
Already got a pair of these for under retail from StockX and really dig 'em. Hopefully the 85 cut starts to be more available and attainable with coming releases. Have only been able to get one pair of the highs.
Agree these 85 lows are so nice and comfy and I love how the look on feet. I got mine from goat pulled the trigger a little early and paid a little to much but I’m definitely buying a double if not triple up of those 85 neutral grey lows
The neutral grey that released a couple years ago have been a staple in my summer outfits. Just a low top white sneaker that happens to be a Jordan 1 is a plus. I might cop these just to have a nice crispy white pair on standby.
Why do we keep getting this colorway/rendition of this AJ1… the Europe exclusive 2015 “OG” low, the ‘21 retro 85 high, the ‘21 new “OG” low & now these?!? … I’m not complaining at all b/c I love this cw but damn JB lol
Have been waiting for this video. The toe shape on 85s looks kinda goofy on feet. The real original 1985s don’t seem to have that banana toe shape. I still want them though 😂
Finally an AJ1 low that actually looks good. Been a while since I felt that way. Especially lately - all the releases have looked funny IMO and I’m wondering where the hype has been coming from. I’m not an OG head nor a historian so this is a general consumer perception opinion of mine, not a technical one.
This is amazing! When was this released? Started the Low OG line in Neutral Grey, same with 85 low line. But I just wish Nike just made all the Lows in 85 rather than giving many names. So confusing
Excuse me, did you even see the toebox on the Jordan 1 he wore on court in 1985? Maybe you should educate yourself on that. It was wider and the toe rand didn’t come up as high. So save me that comment. The Travis Scott 1 lows are more like a real OG as far as shape. @@dizzle.1983
I like the look of those. I’ve had 3 pair of the high 85 neutral greys (sold them all…😞) but these days, I’m feeling lows as of late. Also, the price and availability are to my liking.
Tongues on the white based 85s used that canvas-like tongue whereas the black based: Shadow, B/Red, Royal used a parachute nylon. They knocked these outta the park. Really wish we got the OG blk/red box
So are you upset you went 1/2 size down on these? I was wondering about this. I typically go 1/2 down on OG lows. I still don’t know If I should still stick with going down in size
Great comparisons and detailed explanations!! Please keep that going. Been watching the channel a hot minute now due to the humbleness and honesty of the delivery, but there are some minor annoyances that I would like to see improved. The background music drives me bonkers and seems completely unnecessary. Listening to reviews with headphones on really accentuates it and not in a good way, so now I can’t unhear it on any video. I suggest to remove it altogether going forward. I also would like to see refreshed reaction snippets instead of the rehashed The Office references or the cat covering it’s mouth with the beeps and all the other stuff that keeps repeatedly getting overly-used. I’d love to see the channel be current with today’s culture vibe while still being brutally honest giving out sneaker opinions reviewing shoes. That would be pretty much ideal. But please don’t ever stop being a real one. Few of you are on UA-cam, especially in the sneaker game, giving an honest take no matter what. So don’t ever sell out for sly money on the low. True respect can’t be bought.
So if you’re one with wide foot and wear and tts on lows, not down .5 like most… would I go tts still or up .5 on these since 85 cut and the more padding ???
Which Jordan’s use all leather? I know the mids don’t use real leather in the mid panel. Do the low 85s use all leather? Also do some highs not use all leather?
Anyone know for sure when and where these are releasing? I had head Oct. 25, but haven’t heard anything recently and it’s not loaded on the SNKRS app yet.
Pretty sure the wrong email(s) and miscommunication is what happened with the upcoming J1 royal reimagined and J4 bred. somewhere along the line, someone misread the email and switched the materials. now nike/JB has to spin the story so they can sell the products
Dude. You’re the best. Plain and simple. Never. Ever. Doubt. Your. Performance. In. Your. Videos.
Flawless.

Oh hi Max
Dude absolutely love the Birds Eye "MJO" style for comparisons.
It's way easier to see differences with the Birds Eye down cam vs the B Roll
Also faint nostalgia back to the OG NW style of just hands handling shoes haha
Keep it up Chris we're so grateful!

Mrs. Wing is correct, you are your biggest critic. You absolutely kill these videos.
Some others posted these, but I’ve been waiting for yours WEARTESTERS!!! Thank you
Hope you enjoy!
Bro ur the best sneaker reviewer in the game. Hands down
I also think it’s really important to tell as often as possible that there is nothing OG about the lows they sell us as ogs!
This AIR JORDAN 1 '85 LOW 'Neutral Grey' is an actual retro because the 'Neutral Grey' was also in low cut, in 1985 so I think they gonna give us what AIR JORDAN 1 (1985) fans want, they about ti drop 1 by 1 all the OG colorway and maybe some SAMPLE ones if not all, but we just have to be patient, I think the Chicago will be dropped in 2025 for it's 40th anniversary, if not, 50th (it would be awesome)
All these different variations are nice to have- but these price hikes on stiff worse quality leather (according to rose anvil) is such a scam
Performance leather isn’t premium. Never has been and never will be. You’d rip right through premium leather if you played in it.
@@WearTestershow is that when real work boots made with premium leather are the best out there and don’t rip through lol
@@WearTestersya, in short, never expect actual premium quality on mass produced stuff, especially from Nike
they don’t make em like they used to
@@ThatWrapperDude That's a completely different type of leather & tannery process to ensure it's durable. You want to play basketball in some work boots or do you want the upper to be flexible?

Rose Anvil is a clickbait demon

Same i just got the 85 version today and prefer the 2021.
Thank you for the comparison. It’s super interesting. Hopefully you can do this when the royal reimagine come out
2015 series were my favorites . Keep the tiny swooshes but these are cool tbh
And we appreciate your detailed & quality reviews
Been waiting for your review of these. The best reviewer on You Tube. Roll on Wednesday.
Thanks as always for such an informative review. And a special thanks on the sizing tip - I just got a pair and stayed true to size this time, really glad I did!
"It looks like a bad tattoo" lol such a true statement!
Chris, your comic book t-shirt game is second to none! 🔥
I know its an og feature but the wonky mid-sole throws it off for me. 2015 still has the best variation as far as og AJ1 low’s.
I love the lows, and this colorway can go with any outfit, definite cop
Urgh I would love that they choose to use the reverse Black/Red box instead of this White/Red box just have some consistency to the 85' cut series.
As an OG sneakerhead, I hate the idea of different colour shoeboxes.
Thanks Chris for the sizing tip! You da best bro!
Great review as always , love your comparisons 👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
Thanks so much!
I was about to go down half a size but this video saved me.
Same for me. I normally go down 1/2 with the Low OG… thanks Chris! #1 as usual!
Did TTS work for you guys? I always go half size down in OG lows
These are nice! Hope they do OG colorways (from the Highs) after the Metallic. Chicago and Royal gonna make the sneaker community go crazy!
Love the breakdowns!!! Would love to see more of these when you can.
Ngl y’all got an amazing relationship, Ms. Nightwing really was trying to support and motivate there needs to be more women like her
Chris! The bird’s eye comparison segments are dope! Keep at it mane
Yup, I’m upgrading to the 85 lows. 😊👍🏼
I love the comparison that you have been doing. Also agree the vibe shoe with the shape and cream color look more like a dunk. I prefer the 2023 jordan brand version.
Got my pair in from goat and I say go true to size but the heel padding is so nice! These are so comfy and I’m double maybe tripping up tbh
Kudos for the deep dive comparison. Love it!
Love the 85 Lows for the first week or two! After that the toebox shape gets completely crushed. I’ve gone through two pairs so far, and I’m not normally that crazy about creasing. Other than the plastic leather on the 2014 OG Lows, my other OG Lows seem to be holding up shape-wise way better than the ‘85 Low.
Keep trying new things man! I like the last segment . Reinforces a lot
I still love the big swoosh on the 2015-16 lows so much
But jordan brand sucks and won’t give them to us.
I am a fanatic for the ‘85 stuff but i am also a big fan of the fat swoosh from 2015, nike knows that consumers want the big swoosh again. The Travis collabs all have the big swoosh on the medial side of the shoe, so they can easily produce it, but they are going to stick with the business model of showing what we want, but giving something else.
Not a fan of the low tops but these are definitely a🔥pair of shoes. I doubled up on the Jordan 1 high 85 neutral greys. Great video and review guys!
Dang the 2015s just went up in value. I was hoping it was going to look like that one
Yet another dope review and appreciate the comparison which I was hoping you would do. Thinking of picking them up right now!

Comparisions at its best. Great vid

Passing on these, like The air ship greys better .
that's why I always watched your review before buying j1
these look so great but i’m not sure i’ll cop another white low cut shoe to wear
Why do we keep getting this colorway/rendition of this AJ1… the Europe exclusive 2015 “OG” low, the ‘21 retro 85 high, the ‘21 new “OG” low & now these?!? … I’m not complaining at all b/c I love this cw but damn JB lol
Me patiently waiting for the Reimagined Royal review…. Great video as always…
C’mon Chris, I know you have them…. 👀 please?
Good comparison. Nice work. I like the larger swoosh too. I like the podcast videos you make too.
Glad you like them!
Man the canvas tongue ruins for me, just from trying to keep it semi clean.
was waiting for this video!
I was waiting for this one!!!
Have been waiting for this video. The toe shape on 85s looks kinda goofy on feet. The real original 1985s don’t seem to have that banana toe shape. I still want them though 😂
I must say, comparing the shoes from the og one is a great addition
Finally an AJ1 low that actually looks good. Been a while since I felt that way. Especially lately - all the releases have looked funny IMO and I’m wondering where the hype has been coming from. I’m not an OG head nor a historian so this is a general consumer perception opinion of mine, not a technical one.
In depth as always, even more than usual! 😮
Entered a few raffles for these and wouldn’t be upset if I hit all of them, the neutral grays is my most worn J so these are a must cop.
This is amazing! When was this released? Started the Low OG line in Neutral Grey, same with 85 low line. But I just wish Nike just made all the Lows in 85 rather than giving many names. So confusing
Just got mine in today and I would say half size up out of the box. Who knows after breaking in. But the ankle is very padded.
3:42 is it me or is that Nike logo a bit “OFF” it’s hanging a bit low and closer to the midsole.
I still don't get why they don't do the big swoosh on them. They have the moulding because they used it for the Travis Scott lows.
My God, why can’t they give us the 2016 shape with the correct midsole/sole and better leather. 🤦♂️ The Chicago’s look so good in this video.
theyll never do it
People honestly can't be happy with anything. These are the closest to 1985 OG not 2016
Excuse me, did you even see the toebox on the Jordan 1 he wore on court in 1985? Maybe you should educate yourself on that. It was wider and the toe rand didn’t come up as high. So save me that comment. The Travis Scott 1 lows are more like a real OG as far as shape. @@dizzle.1983
🇬🇧 great review as always. Your attention to detail is greatly appreciated.
If you look really closely 5:59 there’s a little flea on the overlay of the shoe lmao
I like the look of those. I’ve had 3 pair of the high 85 neutral greys (sold them all…😞) but these days, I’m feeling lows as of late. Also, the price and availability are to my liking.
Might grab a pair.
Awesome review as always. 🔥
Tongues on the white based 85s used that canvas-like tongue whereas the black based: Shadow, B/Red, Royal used a parachute nylon.
They knocked these outta the park. Really wish we got the OG blk/red box
Clean! Good comparison Chris!🔥
Appreciate the content👌🏾
I'm looking to getting the Chris Paul Air Jordan 1 Low OG Give Them Flowers which looks like these 🤔
I like these a lot, I do hope they release the blue one as well
Great review! BTW, where did you get that Spider-Man tee? SO dope!
Thanks for the review as always. So excited for these need 2 pair. Do you notice canvas tongue at all?
excellent review
Whooo I understand it’s different from the other variants but idk if the price is something I want to pay for a low
These look like my Wolf grey Jordan 1 mid i got in 2015- 2017 around then
I know it's a small complaint but curious to why the black toe lows got extra laces, but the red lows didn't and now these don't?
Where are they? I can’t figure out where they released at
So are you upset you went 1/2 size down on these? I was wondering about this. I typically go 1/2 down on OG lows. I still don’t know If I should still stick with going down in size
Looking at that heel padding Imma go TTS like the SE's.
Got this for retail. I love it when people sit on pairs that I like ;-P
Did you see they released pics of the metallic blue 85 low & the metallic “burgundy “ and listed em kinda sorta on goat !
Watch our podcast to see Chris discuss all of that stuff.
Super bummed they don’t fit like the typical lows. Went down half a size thinking they’d fit the same as well.
Please bring back the giant 2015 swoosh only thing i want back..
I love these even though they have some “Gramps” on em.. would you say they feel like airships on feet? If they do I gotta get em

How do they fit i have big wide feet
I don’t see them on the sneakers app would love to add these
Love my pair, it’s about damn time.
Trying to decide on these or atmospheric grey. I ended up with these.
Yep we need a comparison video
Re: Phone Comparison… Its appreciated but the quality isn’t great. Just a lighting issue honestly. Still prefer you do it vs not doing it.
Hey Chris I can fix those shoes for you and make them look like new.
So if you’re one with wide foot and wear and tts on lows, not down .5 like most… would I go tts still or up .5 on these since 85 cut and the more padding ???
Tts
@@jimbrown5605 even with wide foot?
I may have missed it but What is the comfort like on these for those who own similar pairs?
Which Jordan’s use all leather? I know the mids don’t use real leather in the mid panel. Do the low 85s use all leather? Also do some highs not use all leather?
Anyone know for sure when and where these are releasing? I had head Oct. 25, but haven’t heard anything recently and it’s not loaded on the SNKRS app yet.
I have 2 pairs of 85s high and I have a pair of 2021 that I'm gonna beat more now because I'm looking forward to buy also this one too 😂
Pretty sure the wrong email(s) and miscommunication is what happened with the upcoming J1 royal reimagined and J4 bred. somewhere along the line, someone misread the email and switched the materials. now nike/JB has to spin the story so they can sell the products
Those were done intentionally.
This comes out in two days on the 25? I don't see it anywhere on snkrs or nike app to alert about or think it's even happening...
Its crazy that they go under retail
