6:22 LMAO I really thought you guys did a cool effect where the shoes move by themselves like if a ghost was wearing them 😵💫😵💫😵💫👻👻👻 but then i saw the sweats 🤣🤣🤣
Had my eyes on these for my little girls. Thanks for the reminder! And no thank you to living forever. Unless my family comes with me, and even then, working forever sounds awful.
Bro if you waited JD Sports has them for 75 bucks. I got my oldest a pair for her birthday today and got myself a pair. Can’t beat this shoe for 75 bucks. The quality by itself is worth the money and more
Hey WT team. Bought a pair of ‘83 Vintage Classic Leather’s & a pair of Air Ship SP’s last week, because both got so great reviews on the channel (+ they were 60% off). No surprise when I say I love them, both are great pair, I can’t wait to have them broken in. Thank you for your amazing work. Been 6 years watching you, you guys are incredible !!! Have a great day, week, month, year… :)
“We were so close!” That was a great edit lmao good job Mrs Wing! I’d be immortal like wolverine or the Highlander… there’s gotta be a healing factor involved.
I remember Tuck Everlasting great book and movie. Immorality is a gift and a curse either way you look at it. But it's only a gift if you learn from your mistakes keep close whats important and pass your knowledge to others.
Great question of the day. Though I feel Chris’ nuanced inquiries are valid, because if I was immortal like Vandal Savage (from DC comics)..then HELL YEAH!!! Typically if you’re immortal, the understanding is that you’ll live forever…you’ll heal from injury, no diseases, etc, but the downside is that you’ll see your love ones come and go because you’d outlaw I’ve everyone. I’d still say yes because I can build and amass a fortune that would also last you a lifetime and you could do some serious good with it. 🤷🏽♂️ However, if you’re immortal but still can suffer injury and not recover from it completely, then what’s the point really. 😆
Yea I agree I’m on board for immortality if it’s like Vampire immortality or something where I can stay young and heal but just immortality with all the cons of being normal minus death…. I’m good.
The shoes are kinda dope, but I was super intrigued by the question of the day. I liked the Wolverine example, but I started thinking about the main character in Highlander also. I think his name was Connor Macleod. Dope video as always from Weartesters!
ive worn these daily to work for 6 months now bought them for $120 they've aged very well, there are creases on the toebox which i dont think is avoidable with any shoe, the rest of the shoe is holding up very well. if you take proper care of them they should last you for 1.5-2 years minimum i'd say
No thanks to the immortality. My heart has been broken by losing people that I have loved so much - that I can’t imagine how incredibly painful it would be to outlive everyone you love, over and over again.
First I was thinking yeah that would be great to be immortal as you wouldn’t have to fear death all your life, but then I thought you’d quite literally be even more scared of not dying if anything bad happened as you’d be screwed for eternity. You’d wait for the green man to cross the road every time. Hmmm this is a tough one….
Chris asking the right questions about what immortality actually means! I’m with him. Only if you can heal or have some level of invulnerability and are disease proof.
Picked up an extended womens size [US 13W - 11.5M] at the outlet for $85 AUD. You best believe I went straight to UA-cam to see if Nightwing had a video on them, and low and behold he did
Love this shoe. The gold laces make it pop but i wish they didnt have the satin sheen finish. But when i think immortal, i think of the movie death becomes her with Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, and Bruce Willis. They were all messed up after taking the potion. So no thanks to that 😂
Honestly as frustrating as it might be in the world I'd probably like to be immortal. But I agree with Chris and jody like if I had the ability to hurt myself and just be like that for eternity I'm not sure then if I'd want that. And totally agree with chris lol like i got to know all the stipulations! Very good question tho.
LOL i assume for the immortality thing, you cant get sick, hurt, age etc. i also always assumed if you chopped your arm off it just.. instantly came back lol i agree though, having to work/survive forever seems like a nightmare
Once again, would like to start off by saying I really appreciate your reviews. Re: The Immortality Question, I would NOT. A good story for reference would be the Sandman comic book story by Neil Gaiman ("Men of Good Fortune", issue 13) where a dude named Hob Gadling made a deal where Death won't go for him. So he doesn't die, and lives for centuries, but even if you don't die, the world around you changes, so you would still be affected by whatever is happening around you: war, slavery, etc. There were points in time that Hob was living the life, rich and fortunate, but there were also points where he was living in poverty and he was scrounging for food (he mentioned that he feels starvation, but doesn't die, which to me would be totally awful). Also, and while he continues to live on, he is around for when people close to him (his wives/children) die. So a big NO for me.
These are so nice! Definitely will be copping sooner or later. Far as the question of the day. I would have to pass. We already deal with losing people but having to be immortal and outlive everyone over and over again is too much. It's definitely perks and cons but seeing humanity and all its flaws over and over again throughout the ages. Nah I'm good 😅
The main thing that really makes me stop and think hard about being immortal is the fact that I'll have to watch all my loved ones leave me one by one.
Got for 103 off GOAT in a size 10 mens...i wanted these when i first layed eyes on them a month ago on early pics...i don't give two flying f's...women or men, these are hard and that gum bottom..man lol and for $103...had to pull the trigger
Didn’t the Jordan 1 OG high black patent, Gold swoosh with a white midsole come out in April 2013? I remember it had a translucent gold outsole with gold glitter in it
Not really a fan of the gold, but I hope the quality and toe shape are used in upcoming releases! Yes on immortality although maybe not everyone should be immortal LOL
That is sooooo hard. Imagine being like Wolverine though, seeing everyone you love age and not able to age with them. - Would that not get old? (HA), Losing those you love and literally starting over when ever you are ready to allow love again. I did not think about the getting hurt part if you were immortal. What if you injury your body and can not do the things you enjoy - but eventually science would catch up and allow you to have surgery to make you a cyborg-ish. I would not do it in its entirety, life would not be so beautiful since you would have done it all, seen it all. Things are more appreciated or beautiful because you may not see it ever again or experience it. Sounds stupid but I would love to be immortal just for video games, hear me out…If you are able to “plug” into a game and play a game with your knowledge - it would be amazing. Create a 2k. Player that has more physical skills then you but with your knowledge of the game, it would be NUTS!!!
I wouldn’t be immortal, part of life is death and seeing everyone you know and love die out and then you’d only be the one to have to constantly make new friends and lovers would just be too much
My answer to the QOTD is the same answer I give when people ask "Would you want Super Powers?" HECK NO! Realistically, once ANY GOVERNMENT finds out about your secret, they will either forcefully weaponize you, or test and dissect you for the rest of your immortal life 😭
Chat gbt says: The concept of immortality is often explored in fiction and philosophy. In reality, achieving true immortality, where an individual lives indefinitely without the possibility of death, is not currently supported by scientific understanding or technology. Parameters, if possible, would depend on hypothetical advancements in medicine, biology, and ethics, which are not well-defined at present.
A question on sizing up when buying a shoe that comes in womens sizes. I have heard that womens shoes default to a narrower width, is that true and if so how do you factor that in on sizing as a guy buying a womens shoe.
You know how heartbreaking it is when you have a pet pass away? Imagine having to watch every person you care about get old and die forever. I’ll do my time and move on thank you.
“The material and toe shape on these guys is utterly fantastic” yup unfortunately the Jones’ don’t want them so the chain gang of followers will also let them sit as they go after the hype releases, just to be left unsatisfied at the lack of quality
I wouldn't chose immortality simply because I would end up burning on the sun surface for eternity, or maybe travelling into the deep space trying reaching a new planet, meanwhile starving (and this option requires a lot of problems to be solved)
Just copped for $80, love em!!
6:22 LMAO I really thought you guys did a cool effect where the shoes move by themselves like if a ghost was wearing them 😵💫😵💫😵💫👻👻👻 but then i saw the sweats 🤣🤣🤣
Part of enjoying life in the moment is realizing those moments aren’t gonna last forever… which makes it precious, so no immortality for me!
Going for these after this review. Why not? They're already selling for half of retail on StockX & GOAT. Long live the lack of hype for Jordan 1s 🙌
Had my eyes on these for my little girls. Thanks for the reminder!
And no thank you to living forever. Unless my family comes with me, and even then, working forever sounds awful.
You're welcome
This was going to be my response for living forever. Can't do it without the fam. 💯
Bro if you waited JD Sports has them for 75 bucks. I got my oldest a pair for her birthday today and got myself a pair. Can’t beat this shoe for 75 bucks. The quality by itself is worth the money and more
Agreed on the swoosh being only gold and the rest white.
I think they were doing something similar to the usual metallic colour blocking but I’m not a sneakerhead lol
These are so beautiful. Definitely getting this
Grabbed a pair for $118 shipped from L&H and dropped in the gold laces👌🏾
Such a dope pair ✌🏾
Congrats! We appreciate you both! Keep’em coming!
Hey WT team. Bought a pair of ‘83 Vintage Classic Leather’s & a pair of Air Ship SP’s last week, because both got so great reviews on the channel (+ they were 60% off).

Sooo happy I got these 🥰💛 I couldn’t sleep on them!
Just got these for $45 at the outlet. The leather is so nice!
“We were so close!”
That was a great edit lmao good job Mrs Wing!
I’d be immortal like wolverine or the Highlander… there’s gotta be a healing factor involved.
This is the embodiment of a perfect AJ1
I remember Tuck Everlasting great book and movie. Immorality is a gift and a curse either way you look at it. But it's only a gift if you learn from your mistakes keep close whats important and pass your knowledge to others.

Yes on the Wolverine kind of inmortal. Not if only immortal lol.
Dope pair, women keep getting great releases tbh...
The shoes are kinda dope, but I was super intrigued by the question of the day. I liked the Wolverine example, but I started thinking about the main character in Highlander also. I think his name was Connor Macleod. Dope video as always from Weartesters!

Another great video. These are really nice glad I copped.
No thanks to the immortality. My heart has been broken by losing people that I have loved so much - that I can’t imagine how incredibly painful it would be to outlive everyone you love, over and over again.
I love the review! I’m all in! Can’t beat the under retail for the women’s size 12
First I was thinking yeah that would be great to be immortal as you wouldn’t have to fear death all your life, but then I thought you’d quite literally be even more scared of not dying if anything bad happened as you’d be screwed for eternity. You’d wait for the green man to cross the road every time. Hmmm this is a tough one….
Ohh memories!!.. 😝
These have always been FABULOUS to me. Thanks for the vid.
Chris is fng riiiiight, you gotta have the parameters of that inmortality to make and educated answer
Copped for my niece for 50 bucks, gotta love the outlets
Why the hell don't they do the gum sole more often? That's the best part
I'm with Chris on this question of the day.
Chris asking the right questions about what immortality actually means! I’m with him. Only if you can heal or have some level of invulnerability and are disease proof.
Picked up an extended womens size [US 13W - 11.5M] at the outlet for $85 AUD. You best believe I went straight to UA-cam to see if Nightwing had a video on them, and low and behold he did
Super cool pair. These are already 140 at the resale shops by me.
I love a white upper on gum outsole. For how cheap these are, I might get a pair and paint the collar and swoosh white or black
I would never choose immortality. Life is worth living because it's on a timer. Life loses meaning without time
Gold laces actually fire
The shoes are so tempting, but I’m holding off since I’m on a buying freeze. Love the gum sole.
Also no to being immortal. Sounds exhausting. 😅
So these are on Goat for way under retail and I copped!!! If I could heal and get stronger I would do it.
Love this shoe. The gold laces make it pop but i wish they didnt have the satin sheen finish. But when i think immortal, i think of the movie death becomes her with Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, and Bruce Willis. They were all messed up after taking the potion. So no thanks to that 😂
I thought Jodi reviewed all the women’s releases? Thanks as always. Hoping to get these for the low
Honestly as frustrating as it might be in the world I'd probably like to be immortal. But I agree with Chris and jody like if I had the ability to hurt myself and just be like that for eternity I'm not sure then if I'd want that. And totally agree with chris lol like i got to know all the stipulations! Very good question tho.
Glad you wore that tee! White rangers vibes r.i.p
$80 on stockx!
these shirts. Dayum
I still wear those patent Chicago mids
Chris I need that shirt!
LOL i assume for the immortality thing, you cant get sick, hurt, age etc. i also always assumed if you chopped your arm off it just.. instantly came back lol
i agree though, having to work/survive forever seems like a nightmare
I would be Immortal like the High Lander only Duncan McCloud like..
This colorway is an actual OG sample!!
Source?
That immortal from TMMT is so specific i knew 😅
i want the Georgetown High 85. not willing to pay resale though
Oh I'm going Deadpool to your Wolverine, Chris!!

Yes on immortality
Would not want to be immortal without my squad.
Who remembers the white and metallic gold Nike Supreme terminator's from '07?
Got lucky on the shock drop with these. Honestly might just save them for special occasions?
Where is the Power ranger shirt from ?
These are so nice! Definitely will be copping sooner or later. Far as the question of the day. I would have to pass. We already deal with losing people but having to be immortal and outlive everyone over and over again is too much. It's definitely perks and cons but seeing humanity and all its flaws over and over again throughout the ages. Nah I'm good 😅
The main thing that really makes me stop and think hard about being immortal is the fact that I'll have to watch all my loved ones leave me one by one.
Nope I wouldn’t take immortality. I love that Chris immediately relates the question to nerd shit…that I’m familiar with 😂
Dope shoe, would definitely pick up if they came in extended sizes... 🔥
They do come in extended
Got for 103 off GOAT in a size 10 mens...i wanted these when i first layed eyes on them a month ago on early pics...i don't give two flying f's...women or men, these are hard and that gum bottom..man lol and for $103...had to pull the trigger
Nothing beats a white shoe with gum bottoms
Nah, I wouldn’t wanna be immortal. The limited life span we have makes me appreciate the little moments I experience all the more.
These are on sale for $135 on Nike right now.
8:44 Immortal Zombie 🧟♂️🧟♀️🧟😂
These are the questions 😂 he’s right….the shirt is coo af also
$103 on GOAT size 10.5 👍🏾 Great review as always!
Didn’t the Jordan 1 OG high black patent, Gold swoosh with a white midsole come out in April 2013? I remember it had a translucent gold outsole with gold glitter in it
Not really a fan of the gold, but I hope the quality and toe shape are used in upcoming releases!
Yes on immortality although maybe not everyone should be immortal LOL
Hey did you guys see those Converse weapon low they look pretty cool. Are you guys gonna do a review?
Hello, what basketball tennis do you recommend for outdoors? Not very expensive and with very good grip and stability and security
I'm looking for a similar colorway in an AF 1 for men..
The parameters are important... when you settle on those, I'll let you know...
Hi guys. I know that the Unlaced Podcast won’t be coming this Saturday, that’s okay. I love it though. I’ll still be watching the breakdowns.
I’ll probably get these once they are under retail. Definitely isn’t selling out.
Immortal like the characters from the (netflix) movie - Old Guard
That is sooooo hard.
Imagine being like Wolverine though, seeing everyone you love age and not able to age with them. - Would that not get old? (HA), Losing those you love and literally starting over when ever you are ready to allow love again.
I did not think about the getting hurt part if you were immortal. What if you injury your body and can not do the things you enjoy - but eventually science would catch up and allow you to have surgery to make you a cyborg-ish.

Imagine being immortal and being stuck inside some sunken ship that no one can find!
😂😂 my mind is thinking up disaster scenarios too
You can’t ask a guy if he’ll ever be immortal & not expect us to rant about every tiny detail🤣
Love the shoes especially that gum bottom and I'll pass on the immortality
I wouldn’t be immortal, part of life is death and seeing everyone you know and love die out and then you’d only be the one to have to constantly make new friends and lovers would just be too much
Can we get a lucky green AJ 5 review?
Is really miss the mid top sb dunk with the strap
You just got hoodwinked into watching Tuck Everlasting lol
Is this the 85 version of aj1?
I love goooold🥇
I was all for Mortality until the whole hit by a bus idea!!😂
I'd never want to be immortal if I was stuck here on Earth just watching everyone I know and love die lifetime after lifetime...
My answer to the QOTD is the same answer I give when people ask "Would you want Super Powers?" HECK NO! Realistically, once ANY GOVERNMENT finds out about your secret, they will either forcefully weaponize you, or test and dissect you for the rest of your immortal life 😭
If I couldn’t recover from anything while being immortal, I wouldn’t do it. I’ve had Covid three times and that SUCKED
Chat gbt says: The concept of immortality is often explored in fiction and philosophy. In reality, achieving true immortality, where an individual lives indefinitely without the possibility of death, is not currently supported by scientific understanding or technology. Parameters, if possible, would depend on hypothetical advancements in medicine, biology, and ethics, which are not well-defined at present.
I would not do the immortal thing, unless, like Chris said, Wolverine.
Being immortal without being able to heal would not be the one. Be just my luck to get mangled day one. And that would suck
A question on sizing up when buying a shoe that comes in womens sizes. I have heard that womens shoes default to a narrower width, is that true and if so how do you factor that in on sizing as a guy buying a womens shoe.
Chris has discussed that in previous women’s Jordan 1 reviews. He prefers the slightly narrower fit.
The highlander
You know how heartbreaking it is when you have a pet pass away? Imagine having to watch every person you care about get old and die forever. I’ll do my time and move on thank you.
“The material and toe shape on these guys is utterly fantastic” yup unfortunately the Jones’ don’t want them so the chain gang of followers will also let them sit as they go after the hype releases, just to be left unsatisfied at the lack of quality

If immortality with deadpool regeneration then yeah
