These are a brighter Rookie of the Year to me. It's wild that this shoe will probably sit when the Rookies are highly coveted. Sneaker culture never made much sense to me in that regard.
Hey Chris, happy new year! I just wanted to say how much I appreciate how consistently thorough your reviews have been for over a decade. Been a fan of your channel since it used to be named Nightwing2303, I was 12 at the time and your 23 Days of J’s series helped me fall in love with sneakers… now I’m 23 lol Keep grinding man! I love your vids and I hope you and the fam have another great year!
These are solid, super clean. Honestly I'm picking up all Jordan 1's that drop and I've been wearing J's since 86! Now the prices are pretty much normal now I'm swooping them up! Great vid as always! Happy New Year 🎉
It’s not about the shoe in the video, it’s the fact that you guys are doing the review video & that’s what draws us to Weartesters … you guys have me watching vids for brands/shoes I’ll never wear or purchase but I love the passion, the insight, the perspective, the education & unbiased opinions… with that being said, yes we want you to review the OW 5s!!!
Thank you Chris. I've been wanting to know what the shoe would look like with the other laces. Definitely helps in making an informed purchase definition. Happy New Year to you guys!
“If you are still into Air Jordan 1’s that is” ohhhh the shade Chris 😂😂 but I feel personally attacked as my first cop of 2024 was J1 Denims. Love the channel and the Pod. Cant wait for what 2024 brings.
As a Pittsburgh native and Steelers fan im debating getting these to pair with the OG Pollens I have. I prefer the Bred color blocking on the Pollens but these are very very nice
Definitely would like to see your review of the Off white 5's. These 1's look pretty nice. I'm trying to be more selective on the shoes that buy, but these have potential!
I would definitely like to see a video review on the OW 5’s. I had them and then sold them. To me they seemed very narrow on my feet compared to regular 5’s and they weren’t all that comfortable to me, also I needed the money, so, that’s that. Do I regret selling my OW 5’s? No. I find that usually when I am able to get my hands on these pairs that are highly anticipated or go for a lot on the resale market, that once I wore them once I got it out of my system, then I sell them and make a profit. Also, and I’m sure many may not share my same sentiment (but some might), there’s something about going to a sneaker store in person, holding the shoe in hand and putting on the shoe before you buy it. I prefer that over ordering online and waiting for the sneaker and not knowing how it’s going to look or feel or if it will have variants to the materials and build of the shoe, although you paid good money for it (which I have sadly experienced several times when ordering Jordan 1’s and recently with the 2/3’s). And so, I personally get a great thrill out of going to outlet malls and walking around and trying on sneakers at the outlet stores (Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Converse) and coming up on sneakers at a reduced price and with a discount price to boot. I usually go when the additional discount prices are at 50% off or above. If I do buy online especially with Nike, I wait till the promo codes is at 25 or 30% discount on top of reduced prices. Like with these 1’s. The 25% promo “EXTRA25” applies to these and the Black and White 1’s which I bought and once I had them in hand saw that the materials weren’t so great and although the colorway is great the materials used weren’t and I returned them back to Nike. I have the Yellow Ochre 1’s in my cart with the $45 reduction applied which comes out to $143.78 as opposed to the $191 price I paid for the Black and Whites. Again, the 25% promo code can be applied to the B&W’s also now. In case anyone wants them. Chris/Jodie what are your thoughts towards shopping at the sneaker outlet stores and being able to save more and feel the sneakers in hand and trying them on before you buy?
Now that you're saying it they probably are focus on yellow in the beginning of this year, just like they focused a lot on Green last year (Lucky Green, Pine Green, ...) would love to know how they decide which color they're choosing each year and why 🤔
There's a rumored release this year of the 13s having some accents a bit yellowish on the outsole with midnight navy. Probably not quite, but if it does release, I'm going after that one!
Nice video as always. Been watching for years but never commented. Would have been nice if you compared the last yellow 1's to this one so we could see the difference in shade.
They remind me A lot of the rookie of the year jordan 1 and I see those reselling a lot still after all these years so it will be interesting to see how these do lol
these were a great shoe but i feel certain jordan one colorways should be priced down. i waited to till today and got them at Hibbet sports for $100. an absolutly great buy
Personally I find that AF1, and AJ1 has the best grip on ice. Better than Timbs and Docs even, Timbs being the worst, and I live in Norway where we have actual winters with snow and ice, mostly the latter.
Hey, happy new year! Wouls love to have your thoughts on the Mcdowell's air pro trainer (since you covered their AJ1 bootleg a while ago). Have a good one :)
Hello Chris and Jodie. I’ve noticed on several video reviews that usually Jordans come with terrible insoles and you always suggest the “Move All Day” insoles. I looked them up and they’re expensive ($49.99) is the price I kept on seeing. I’m not sure what demographic watches your videos and who could afford those insoles to replace crappy insoles in the lot of their Jordan collection which is already expensive and costs a lot of money, but with that said I have a couple of questions I hope you will answer. First one, since you say you usually stick with one shoe and wear them out, how long do those insoles (the only ones you recommend) last you before they need to be replaced? Second question, could those insoles be swapped from shoe-to-shoe? Third question, could you recommend a more affordable insole that is also good quality? I just started following your podcast. Look forward to listening to it while I’m driving. Thank you for taking the time to do these sneaker reviews with your wife and for being honest about material, build, comfort and of course the quality of insoles that the sneaker originally comes with. I can’t say my next words are fit for a question of the day, but I wondered apart from comics and those X-men series you’ve enjoyed watching, were you ever into trading cards (baseball, basketball, etc..)
Would absolutely love to see your review of the Off-White Jordan 5!
Same !!
Came down here to say thais and confirm that the toes on those are perfect.
Do it!
All the Off White dunks too
I back this statement
These are a brighter Rookie of the Year to me. It's wild that this shoe will probably sit when the Rookies are highly coveted. Sneaker culture never made much sense to me in that regard.
Feel like these are so slept on. So clean

air jordan 1 high og's are always a must for me been collecting since my high school days, only pair of J's i buy

Echoing every sentiment above 👍
i impulsively bought these this morning! i thought they looked really cool to begin with but they look even better with the sail laces!!
Jodie giggling is never not funny😂 that intro is why i never get tried of watching your videos. Happy New Year Chris and Jodie🥳🎉
This one is a good alternative if you dont have the ROTY J1. Almost similar colors IMO.
That’s the same thing I was thinking. JB keeps tiptoeing up to that line, but shying away from a straight ROTY retro.
Thank you Chris. I've been wanting to know what the shoe would look like with the other laces. Definitely helps in making an informed purchase definition. Happy New Year to you guys!
5:02 Well, you're not wrong. MJ wore Chicago, Bred, and Black Toe colorblocking. Those 3 are the OG colorblockings for J1
Technically, maybe not, but he did wore the royal blue at one point during on a cruise ball play besides advertising.
Lowkey hyped to hear what y’all will have to say about the 85 metallics 🤩
“If you are still into Air Jordan 1’s that is” ohhhh the shade Chris 😂😂 but I feel personally attacked as my first cop of 2024 was J1 Denims. Love the channel and the Pod. Cant wait for what 2024 brings.
6:48 Six months later and finishline is selling them for $100 with free shipping.
It was worth the wait this time.
yup, got them for 111€
As a Pittsburgh native and Steelers fan im debating getting these to pair with the OG Pollens I have. I prefer the Bred color blocking on the Pollens but these are very very nice
word my og pollens are my weekly rotation idk why man i love em
The Pollens arent the Bred/Banned color blocking
As a penguins fan im debating in getting these.
Yellow has always been one of my fav colors. Solid shoe. But them bred & military blue 4’s is what I need
Bred for me 🔥
i got my jordan 3 fear for 160 and i love those!!! i would love for these to sit and go on sale soon lol
Agree, the materials look great,but it's just another 1..wait'n on your reimagine bred 4 review..the only snkrs on my radar
Exactly!! Aj1's have been over saturated for years now. I have enough in my collection.

Just started watching/listening to the podcast and really like it. Good for when I'm at work. 🙂
Thanks for listening
3:48 : the heel leather of the shoe is unstitched 😮
And look at that ugly boxy toebox …
0:40 “Just kidding… just kidding!” 🤣🤣🤣 His words were instant before his joke even settled
Just got these for 145 what a time 🔥🔥 dope review thanks
Nice!
Definitely would like to see your review of the Off white 5's. These 1's look pretty nice. I'm trying to be more selective on the shoes that buy, but these have potential!
January releases will be outlets including these.
These are sitting at every store I’ve seen ! All sizes but I think they are one of the best releases they have done in a while
These look exactly like the Element 1 Light Curry I wear in the winter.
Yes please! Jordan 5's are my Jam brother! Hopefully before my 49th birthday Chris, please do a video on the OW 5's
Happy new year!! Picking up a pair. AJ1 ROTY 2.0 vibe

chicago color blocking to me is what defines Jordan 1 to me as well! ✊
I have the pollen I got these because they kinda look like the Rookie of the year
I like to swap the insole for the SB dunk insole. Adds just enough padding to make them comfortable, without cramming your toes.
Bad ass Shirt …favorite childhood movie .. keep up the great reviews 👍🏼👍🏼
just got a pair. I love them
Happy New Year Yall!!! I’d like to keep my 1s @$180 with the crappy less crappy insoles.. and drop in my Move All Days.. shoes getting too expensive
Happy New Year guys! I dig these, I might cop a pair ☺️💛
I like this cw. Might grab a pair.
Awesome review as always. 🔥
Happy New Year! Nice shoe but I'm saving up for the J4 Reimagined next month.
Now that you're saying it they probably are focus on yellow in the beginning of this year, just like they focused a lot on Green last year (Lucky Green, Pine Green, ...) would love to know how they decide which color they're choosing each year and why 🤔

Happy New Year WearTesters🎉thanks for all your help in 2023....
Happy New Year! The offwhite AJ5 review would be great. It’s a grail level shoe!
I saw these on the shelf at Finish Line this past weekend, and I was so surprised at how nice they are. I can’t wait to scoop up a pair (on sale!).
Happy New Year’s always enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.
Told my wife I wouldn’t buy any shoes for a while. So I’m going to try to wait for the reimagined 4s. But I would get this if they go on sale
I should have waited like you mentioned. Bought two at release/retail this morning, and they’re already $20 under on GOAT.
Little Monsters was one of the best movies from my childhood.
Moving to Pittsburgh next month so these will be perfect!
Nice video as always. Been watching for years but never commented.
Would have been nice if you compared the last yellow 1's to this one so we could see the difference in shade.
These remind me of the rookie of the years. Clean color way great review as always.
100% want to see the OW 5 video. I know you guys can come up with an angle to make it relevant. Compare 5’s, compare collabs that work or don’t, etc.
If you love bob ross you know about yellow ochre was one of his staple colors im calling these the JOP - joy of paintings
They remind me A lot of the rookie of the year jordan 1 and I see those reselling a lot still after all these years so it will be interesting to see how these do lol
Just copped these on 30% discount. I love how AJ1s are sitting everywhere. These look great I'm just so happy to be able to cop these on discount
Big love from Australia, been watching for awhile now love the movement don't stop being you bruz 💯
I hate that I'm warming up to these _after_ they've already sold out at Foot Locker 😭
Definitely a grail, I love my OW5’s and need to see a review asap and Happy 2024!!🎉
Super close to the Rookie of the Year 1’s from 2018. Great fall colors.
Will be great to see the Jordan 5 off white review
Best Sneaker Channel! Lets see those off white 5s!!
Yeeeeesssss!!!!! I NEED THE REVIEW ON THE OFF WHITE 5. Literally my grail still on the hunt😊
Mustard yellow
We not comparing them to the ROTYs?
so close to the rookie of the year 1s
Happy New Year fam! Thanks for the content 🔥🔥🔥
these were a great shoe but i feel certain jordan one colorways should be priced down. i waited to till today and got them at Hibbet sports for $100. an absolutly great buy
Taxi’s and Pollens still fresh out. Do we need these?
Really happy that these come out in 2024 and not 2020 🔥 fire shoe!
Yes please! Jordan 5's are my Jam brother! Hopefully before my 49th birthday Chris, please show me the shoe I'll never own lol...
One of my favorite movies along with monster squad
Aahh yes, the white Pollens
Just got these on clearance for $100 just wait kinda looks like j1 rookie of the year juat a bit brighter
Just got these for $120 today on finish line 👌🏼
I got the royal reimagined on sale for Christmas! Paid $140
Coolest thing about this video is that Little Monsters shirt!
Might be the most fire shoe of 2024.... definitely fire 🔥
was searching your channel whether u do review on this a while ago, now im making my decision which is pass
thanks
I’m so excited for these!
Personally I find that AF1, and AJ1 has the best grip on ice. Better than Timbs and Docs even, Timbs being the worst, and I live in Norway where we have actual winters with snow and ice, mostly the latter.
These are fire IMO, probably gonna be an easy cop which I'm not complaining. Awesome times!
Hey, happy new year!
Wouls love to have your thoughts on the Mcdowell's air pro trainer (since you covered their AJ1 bootleg a while ago).
Have a good one :)
Chris has just gone full stream of consciousness! 😂 Yeah these look nice...I'd definitely look up a pair ❤
almost identical to the rookie of the years
These give me Rookie of the year vibes... or am i trippen
I really like this color way I am def going to cop it
hope they hit outlets. I want these but not for the inflated price haha
Bob Ross would love these. Nike should do a Titanium White Dunk low.

Yes! I wanna see the Off White 5 review, I want those!
The Insole Is My Only Gripe. Other Than That It’s A Solid Release! Thanks For The Review!💯
Clean shoe, definitely looks good with my Padre gear 😎
Please do a review on the off white 5s
Love me some AJ1s best looking Jordans imo
Happy new year Chris!
Happy new year!
Hell yeah, bro. Drop that Off White Jordan 5 video!!
Love the 5s. Would love a vid on em😊
Yep, we wanna see the off white 5s. Thanks y’all!
These are 🔥 and easy to cop
