😂 this has to be misdirection I really think 10000 just doesn’t make sense! I mean how many does that leave in the sneakers app if it evens gets it! I mean this number just seems wrong even if it’s dropped in just America what a waste of time and money to even produce them! I’m really thinking about buying reps because at this point who cares!
That stock numbers is 🧢 If there is really 10k tell me why they are not numbered? 2020 Varsity red was - 23k which is harder to put number of each shoes. I will tell You why. Because that 1st run of stock will be for resellers and UA-camrs who is paid to hyped them up, than wait for restocks because Nike is hungry for Your money this year!
this is the newer 85 cut which has slight changes to the height and toe box compared to the other 85 retros we have been getting the passed couple years.
Nike really fucked us over with this release. My favorite shoe of all time, but I won't even bother with them knowing it will be impossible to get. It will be hard to put these on feet when you know how rare they are. What I find baffling is the fact that they are leaving so much money on the table. Sure, you increase the price cause of exclusivity, but resellers are making $800+ on these. Nike only caters to the reseller unfortunately, shame.
@@alvaromolina1623 so in other words the resellers get them first then people who have alot of money to spend, the rich will buy them and wear them like a normal shoe. Meanwhile any other regular sneaker head who isn't loaded with cash, if they get these they are eating cup ramens for a couple weeks for dinner, and then if they decide to wear them they either wont, or they wont fully enjoy the shoe, possibly just wearing them inside their house only. 😅
It’s official the 10k number is false (to build hype) - either that or Nike really is direct backdooring - as there is no way Nike would be unable to control the supply chain for just 10k units.
No only like 4 pairs left now 😂 . I’ve seen so many early reviews from different people on these. If there really is only 10,000 pairs Nike is on some bull 💩
Looking at the OGs side by side with this 2025 release and seeing all the differences in overall shape and the panel cuts, makes me wonder wtf were JB doing reverse engineering the originals to still get it so wrong(although tbf it looks like they actually got the toe box shape somewhat right), just to charge people $250 for it?🤦♂️ Would have been better off making a regular OG cut with elevated materials imo. Personally I don’t really care for these(prefer Chicagos over Breds). But I might still go for them if they’ll drop on Snkrs, but definitely not going outta my way to get them or paying over retail. Good luck to everyone trying to copp these who wants them🤞
These are fire but just curious how tall they are compared to actual mids because the ankle cuff looks shorter than the actual 85 OGs and the 2016 pair. 🤔
People went from "250, keep em" to "how will I be able to get these" after they figured how limited they were gonna be. Human mindset never fails to amuse me
Is the original 1985 bred shoe taller thank the new one? When u put them side by side the original looks taller.... is that because thw original is a size 13 and the new one is a size 9???
@ missed out of them when they keep out but feel like every 85 ain’t hitting the same anymore. Really wanted these until they announced it was limited so I rather get the black and white instead.
They’re dope for sure but the 2016 pair had that 🧈 tumbled leather. I’m def gonna try and get the 2025 pair they’re 🔥. Prob my favorite color way of all time. IMO the Jordan 12 flu game is my favorite sneaker of all time
I don't know if you know a brand called "Developer Boring Studios" but has been making this and other retro ones of very high quality and closer to the original design of the high 85!!!
the 01 release & the actual "banned" 1s (the so called b grades with the x on the heels) are the best dude, if you aint counting the og & 94s anyway. Hell id throw in the lance mountains sbs too if youre justing talking leather quality
They look very nice on feet. But, the price and limited availability shenanigans mean I wont be going for them. Also, it's funny how there's other 85 cut Jordan 1's that go unnoticed and under retail despite similar thicker leather and better insoles.
Hol up Seth, you just dropped an interesting tidbit of info that NO ONE else is saying and have only vaguely alluded to, which is a two tiered release. Practically all news surrounding these have them dropping at 23 locations IN the US and stock being 10k/less. I've only heard of the 2/7 release day from one other publication. It could be that the limited stock numbers are in reference to the 23 retail partners. I know that there are a few spots in Canada that will be getting them, really holding my luck out for those, pending they can ship to the US. Normally shipping restrictions only seemed to apply to places across the ocean(s) but we'll see
Only 10k pairs is outrageous. Means very hard to get and resale price will be so expensive. Why don’t they make many pairs like the previous retro(2016)
I have a solid beater pair from 2013, and DS pairs from 2016, and the Patented Breds. I can't even get excited over these. Re-release the Royals, or even the shadows... EDIT: They're short than the OG '85s!!!! 😡😡😡😡
Weren't black & white 85 and also the neutral grey 85 als og colorways?
100% you're right I misspoke!
@@SethFowleralso the metallic burgundy
@@Ronny-Swanton all of the 85 retros are og colorways except the first one that came out the black/varsity red pair.

False, more like 6999 pairs left since its already being backdoored.
@@who4108maybe not even THAT number. 🧐
Which is odd. Jordan brand has always put a number in the back of the AJ1 tongue telling you what number you have.
Been waiting for this Seth.

There’s something off about them, maybe the height?
Yes, and the wings logo
back in ‘85, the heights weren’t always the same, depending on WHERE they were manufactured.
this is the newer 85 cut which has slight changes to the height and toe box compared to the other 85 retros we have been getting the passed couple years.
🗑️🗑️🗑️
Straight unauthorized pairs. Congrats
Second shoetuber review of these so far. Great..9998 left for the rest of us
Not to mention the large amount someone posted on Instagram that backdoored.
A Chicago version of high 85 would be amazing
For sure
They’re dropping Holiday 2025
*Will be amazing. All the OG colorways will be released
@@TheFatNooblet Nah bro they’re doing the lows which is still fire
@Agozieee they are doing both
Everyone says they look stiff but like any good leather you have to break them in
Such a clean shoe. But can Goat really authenticate a release before it’s even out?
No.
But hype beasts don’t care.
If Stock X admit they cannot and lied why would anyone else be able to?
The thought itself smells like a scam.

been waiting to see someone pay 300% over retail for these 🔥
He owns a UA-cam channel and clothing brand it’s 100% a tax write off and a smart one at that
next level🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love the energy in every video keep making great content man.
Very first Jordan's I ever had. 1985 High school my freshman year and school colors
Ok so there’s a wider release on feb 14th and the smaller boutiques are dropping on feb 7th? That’s news to me. That would be a blessing
that just means they’ll release the 4k pair, its BS on Nike’s part
Damn I thought they were releasing on the 14th too..
Aw man, only 9,999 pairs left now... its begun. 🥵 🔥
No only like 4 pairs left now 😂 . I’ve seen so many early reviews from different people on these. If there really is only 10,000 pairs Nike is on some bull 💩
9994 left so far from the UA-cam shoe content creators
My man spent a bandaid on these! Thank you for the sacrifice (even though I’m sure you love these) to give us this content!
I respect that you do more than sit there holding the shoe talking about stock numbers and selling out like other vloggers.
This silhouette is perfect
Its such an understatement of how BAD I need to get these...
This is how i feel about the lost and found so i cant blame people for paying way way over retail everyones favorite is different.
Glad you got your pair. I knew you would be stoked!!!
Seth, you bugging
1000😂
Still the 2025 is lower than the 2016 pair on the heel still a mid tho idk why they can’t get that right
Lower than the black toe reimagineds about to drop, too.
@@christenn32 it’s wild
The leather on the swoosh is synthetic just like the OGs
Looking at the OGs side by side with this 2025 release and seeing all the differences in overall shape and the panel cuts, makes me wonder wtf were JB doing reverse engineering the originals to still get it so wrong(although tbf it looks like they actually got the toe box shape somewhat right), just to charge people $250 for it?🤦♂️ Would have been better off making a regular OG cut with elevated materials imo.

Good luck to everyone trying to copp these who wants them🤞
I waited for this video
do they fit different than other 85s is the real question?
These are fire but just curious how tall they are compared to actual mids because the ankle cuff looks shorter than the actual 85 OGs and the 2016 pair. 🤔
People went from "250, keep em" to "how will I be able to get these" after they figured how limited they were gonna be. Human mindset never fails to amuse me
They love scarcity
Itll be funny if nike lied and ends up selling 500k pairs 😂😂 just to mess with the resellers
I still dont fw either aspect, might as well just buy some ogs
They look so horribly cheap
@@mantanhansipromawi439 who? the chicken heads?
I completely understand why Nike took the approach they did with the price and availability. These are GORGEOUS. Easily the greatest retro ever.
That’s crazy that you gottem. Love the vids Seth!
I mean it’s not crazy. He paid resale. Just like anyone else can.
These are my new favorite shoes.
Went and copped a developer boring pair to avoid the hassle of these but these are 🔥
Love that shape😍
Is the original 1985 bred shoe taller thank the new one? When u put them side by side the original looks taller.... is that because thw original is a size 13 and the new one is a size 9???
Will we ever get a chance to cop these? For those out of US? All these rumors about releasing into 23 stores in US only is disappointing.
almost no one is going to cop but these are nice for sure. if I can’t get these then I’d rather get the black and white 85s.
The black and white 85s are insane! They’ve been my top 3 sneaker since I’ve gotten them
@ missed out of them when they keep out but feel like every 85 ain’t hitting the same anymore. Really wanted these until they announced it was limited so I rather get the black and white instead.
Small correction...the bred is not the 1st og 85 released. We have already gotten the metallic red/butgandy and black and white
These are the first og cw of 85s?
How does the newer 85 high compare to the other “85 high” that dropped a few years ago
I remember people yapping about 250 retail is to much . Now we’re paying 1k.. the sneaker game is such a clown show 🤣🤣
I got my 1200 ready
They’re dope for sure but the 2016 pair had that 🧈 tumbled leather. I’m def gonna try and get the 2025 pair they’re 🔥. Prob my favorite color way of all time. IMO the Jordan 12 flu game is my favorite sneaker of all time
goat sneaker youtuber
They’re alright I rather wait for the shattered backboards later this year 🔥 🔥
What happened to the special box it suppose to have.$250 sneakers with a 3 cents box.
I got the same shoe but as a lego & I had no idea they were that BIG of a deal
10,000 pairs only available as a 'Read Only'.
8:05 not the first og color bro you're wild WRONG. WHITE/NATURAL GREY. AND GEORGE TOWN COLORWAY
I like the 2016 pair for sure. Thats the one I own right now so.
That was the main problem for me with the 2016s, the red was too dark
This is sneaker of the year easily. Maybe of the decade.
Dang us regular folk don’t stand a chance
I like what they did with the shoe but I don't like the back 15:05
Seth If your hourse burns down one day you better save these shoes over anything else
It's a must cop
Pls Jordan brand just release the reverse shadow 85 thats been rumoured to also release this year. Would literally be my fav shoe ever 🫠
i like cheese
Same
Cheese is good
Cheese is a better purchase
@@AaronMcDaniels11-j2s really depends on the cheese
@@SethFowlerMy favorite two are Colby Jack and Sharp Cheddar
I don't know if you know a brand called "Developer Boring Studios" but has been making this and other retro ones of very high quality and closer to the original design of the high 85!!!
banned 2016 is the best.. leather quality is topnotch
Not really just caz it’s tumbled doesn’t mean it’s top notch just looks better
the 01 release & the actual "banned" 1s (the so called b grades with the x on the heels) are the best dude, if you aint counting the og & 94s anyway. Hell id throw in the lance mountains sbs too if youre justing talking leather quality
I been waiting for this video, excited on how I’m not going to get them 😭😂
Gotta love UA-camrs ruining it for the rest of us.
So, there is 2 release dates?
So we just going to forget that the reimagined bred 1 exist? Seth named all bred 1 release except the reimagined
So theses releases on Feb 7th ? & Not Feb 14th?
That collar height is pretty disappointing. Its even lower than the 2016 pair.
I wonder how many pairs MKBHD got? 🤔
Come on bruhh. Pleaseee, my wallet 😩
What factory is you’re 85s?
Shame these are so limited. I had a pair back in 2001 so I’m okay passing on this release
Like someone else commented “Great, now only 9,998 left 🙃
$1000 for a pair of shoes man 😭 I hope I can cop for retail and even $250 is ridiculous
How could it be reverse engineered if the height is off??
Went to being super excited to hating Nike for these unnecessary scarcity tatics, 10k pair is complete BS
The only OG pair? Isn’t the metallic 85’s series, OG’s as well? We got those not to long ago in the burgundy and gold colour ways?
Here we go everyone bout to suddenly start getting pairs
Is the comfort better than the AJ 1 High Zoom Air?
250.00
Is
Crazy
Coz
They
Will
Be
Hard
To
Get
They look very nice on feet. But, the price and limited availability shenanigans mean I wont be going for them. Also, it's funny how there's other 85 cut Jordan 1's that go unnoticed and under retail despite similar thicker leather and better insoles.
happy I got ‘16 pair because I know im not getting these for retail
Limited yet all the shoe reviewer got them
Was that Adidas socks with Nike sneakers?? 😮😮
Thanks for the review but I really don't like the toe front they are too flat
I’m passing on these ngl, I’m copping the bred toes instead
🔥🔥🔥
I would have loved to see this compared to the natural grey or black and white 85high retros to see is it different or just marketing
Jordan 1 mid Bred😇
I NEED THOSE
You need to do a legit JB commercial lol

Whoa price resell ?
Honestly might double back and get the 2016s. Price has dropped on those
These are gonna be need at least 2 maybe 3😊
100%
So this isn’t getting a snkrs app release?
I have a solid beater pair from 2013, and DS pairs from 2016, and the Patented Breds. I can't even get excited over these. Re-release the Royals, or even the shadows...
EDIT: They're short than the OG '85s!!!! 😡😡😡😡
It was hard for me to get past the $1026 and SEVENTY FIVE...good cents... Ain't no way. Great video though
Good luck...this is going to be tough
10K pairs. Already backdoored to influencers
There's gonna be a million reps made of these
