I've been waiting for the return of the Black Toe Air Jordan 1 since they last Released back in 2016 and like a lot of The other retros that have been Releasing recently of OG colorways Jordan brand decided to remaster the Black Toe ones I finally got my pair in The mail today I'm so excited to check It out this is by far one of my most Anticipated sneakers of the entire year As an Air Jordan 1 fan and the black Toes being one of my favorite colorways Of all time they've got a bit of a Confession to make I accidentally bought Two pairs it wasn't totally by accident But I did buy two pairs both for an Unbelievably High resale price so the Reason I did was because uh I had Ordered my size of these shoes two or 3 Weeks ago I had done it when the price Was pretty high they just were taking a While to come in from goat and I was Like why are they taking so long to come In from goat and then a size 9 and a Half popped up on Goat for next day Instant ship so I bought it so this is The size 9 and a half instant ship pair From goat and of course as soon as I Ordered it the next day I get an update On my app saying that my size n is going To get delivered the next day which is Today it hasn't got delivered yet uh but There's a very good chance that it will Get delivered later today so I spent
Probably around $1,200 on both pairs of Sneakers and I I just don't need two Pairs of black toes for $1,200 that Being said if you want to grab a pair of Black toe Air Jordan 1es for the now Somewhat Reasonable Resale price a month Before release check them out through The YouTube shopping tab on your screen Or if you're watching this video maybe Around release day or after release you Could probably grab them for a lot Cheaper again through the YouTube Shopping tab on your screen so make sure To check it out but this is a size 9 and Half I think what I'm going to do is Actually sell this pair on whatnot and Then give you guys a special QR code That allows you to verify that it's a Pair that was in one of my videos on Core it's a whole cool system that we're Working on basically moving forward what I'm going to do is if you buy a pair for Me that was used in a review like this Pair it'll have a QR code that you can Scan and prove that you got the pair From the review video through your core Badge which is super sick so make sure To check out that whatnot live stream in The description below if you want to Grab this exact pair now I won't be Trying on the size N9 and a half because I'm getting a size nine like I said Today so I'll just be unboxing the size N9 and a half and uh giving you guys my
First impressions this is my first time Seeing the shoe so I'm really excited About it but you've definitely already Noticed the biggest change between this Pair and a standard pair of Air Jordan 1es is of course the box I'm sure you've Seen standard Jordan one boxes this is What they usually look like they come in Black with red text on the top you've Also got the lon found box which has That same black and red but has an Orange top cuz it was supposed to be Misplaced or I don't know whatever There's a whole story behind that check Out my review if you haven't yet but for This reimagined pair of Air Jordan 1es You've got a picture of Michael Jordan With the exact pair at least the style Of that pair around his neck this is one Of the most iconic photos of Michael Jordan ever and what's really cool is That they've actually styled the pair of Shoes inside this box to look exactly Like the pair that he's wearing not only That but this is also the pair that he's Wearing in the iconic Jumpman photo the One where he's jumping with the Chicago Skyline in the background that they base The logo off of so there's a lot of Really cool history behind this shoe and There's even more which we'll get into As we go through the review of this shoe There's actually so many more details And stories hidden in this sneaker than
I ever expected so when I was doing Research for this shoe I kept like Finding out new things about the sneaker And I was like wow this is so crazy so I've got to say I liked this shoe before Just cuz it was a Blacktail one but now That I know even more about the history Behind this shoe I'm even more into it But I'm getting distracted let's Continue on with the box like I said You've got this iconic photo of Michael Jordan on the front printed in this sort Of um like newspaper dot print which is Really cool on the sides the photo just Kind of wraps around the edges of the Box the bottom of the Box comes in white For whatever reason I guess you know It's a little bit cheaper not to have to Print on the bottom of the box cuz no One ever really sees it and then on one End you've got the size tag which comes In this thin sort of bar size tag this Is a size 9 and half like I mentioned And the official colorway of this pair Is white black Varsity Red sale is there Anything else around the outside of the Box that I should mention I don't think So this is a fire box up though I'm not Going to lie I love when Jordan brand Does that they don't do it a lot like Sometimes they'll change the color of The box to kind of match the sneakers But they don't often print a full image On the top of the box to match the
Sneakers inside which I think is really Cool they actually did it with the Skyline Air Jordan Ones which were based On the same photo shoot it's like a Skyline of Chicago but for this one you Got Michael you got the shoes that's all You really need let's pop the box top And see the sneakers here we go I didn't Notice this a second ago but it looks Like the inside of the box top says Special attention Mr Jordan on it inside The Box you've got special paper I Didn't know it came with special paper You've got what looks like the Chicago Skyline right there and Air Jordan Written out because obviously this shoe Doesn't feature the wings logo and Instead has the Air Jordan logo written Out we've got some wings logo sketches Right there which of course were based On flight wings from Airlines which is Pretty cool and then we get to the shoes Themselves which I have not seen until Right this second so here we go I'm Really Excited fire absolutely fire so here They are the Black Toe Air Jordan 1 Reimagines for 2024 these are fire I'm Just such a huge Jordan 1 fan they look Actually pretty Sim similar to my 2016 Pair I will do a full comparison as we Go through the video but just an initial Impression let's see pretty similar Except this pair doesn't have the
Sparkles on it so the newer pair already Wins in that regard the first thing that You'll notice inside the box is that the Shoe does come with double laces you've Got black laces and red laces I think I Will probably go with the black laces Cuz that's usually how I wear my Air Jordan 1es with black laces I don't Often go for the red and I think that's The case for these guys I probably will Go for the black this is similar to The Lost and Found Jordan ones that had I Think the cream laces and the black Laces tied together like this and then You just pull out whichever lace you Don't want so I guess at this point why Don't I wait for my actual size to come In and then try them on and let you guys Know how they fit all right so it's time To try these shoes on and the good news Is a size n actually did show up Literally hours after my size 9 and a Half so I didn't even have to buy the N9 And a half but that's fine but either Way we've got the size N9 now so this is My true to size shoe so I should be able To tell you whether this shoe is true to Size or close to true to size or Whatever the case may be I'm expecting It to be true to size like most other Jordan Ones but we'll find out obviously They come in lace so I had to lace these Guys up with them laced up so so far so Good yeah these feel good these feel
True to size 100% just like every other Pair of Jordan Ones also I should Mention because you may have already Seen it in b-roll cuz I'm planning to Actually wear it in broll after I filmed This part I'm rocking the matching black Toast socks coming out on release day of These sneakers so make sure to grab Those pcare.com it's going to be a while But they'll drop on release day so we'll Remember oh shoes socks grab them they Look great with the shoes I mean I Literally color match them as much as I Could so there you go yeah I think trud Decize is the way to go I love them they Feel great on feet they look great on Feet just another Jordan one added to my Collection all right so really quick I Got the 2016 black toes and the 2024 Black toes and I'm going to do a Comparison between the two just to see How they fit how they look on feet I Mean they look very very similar except For the midsole color and obviously the Wings logo really similar okay let me Throw the uh 2016's on feet oh my 2016's Do have the Sparkles all over the side Which kind of sucks but it is what it is Oh hold up the tongue is a different Color the tongue on the 2016's is white And the tongue on the 2024's is black I Didn't notice that so sizing wise yeah The 202 24s do fit true to size just Like the 2016's they look very similar
Except for the tongues and obviously the Wings logos and the midsoles yeah I Think if you're grabbing the 202 24s go True to size and you should be just fine Back to the studio man I love this shoe I realized Jordan brand isn't getting The love that it normally gets over the Last couple years but I think 2024 is One of the best years that they've had In terms of sneaker releases for years Definitely not profit wise for them but For the sneaker heads like myself it's Been one of the best years in a long Time actually this entire year has just Been good for sneakers it's crazy Regardless this shoe releases officially On October 18th for a retail price of 180 bucks and again if you want to grab This shoe or even the 2016 version of This shoe make sure to check it out Through the YouTube shopping tab on your Screen so some of you watching this Video might have already put this Together but October 18th is not a Saturday like most big Jordan releases Instead it's a Friday and that's because October 18th is a significant date for Jordan brand and it's not just because We're dropping the magic Apothecary Black do sucks it's because that day is The 40th anniversary of when the NBA Banned the Jordan 1 well all right not Exactly the Jordan 1 just the Bann Colorway or the bread colorway and
Really it's not even the Jordan 1 that They were Banning it's actually the Nike Airships so there's that but that's a Story that Jordan brand is going with With and it's kind of a cool story Regardless but the release date is not The only significant detail about the Air Jordan 1 black toe re imagins one of The biggest changes on this shoe is of Course the Air Jordan text on the side Of the sneaker and I know when leaked Images dropped at this shoe people were Losing their minds they're like that Ruins the sneaker it doesn't look the Same and sure it does change up the look Of the shoe somewhat dramatically as Much as a logo can on the side of the Sneaker but this reimagined detail this Air Jordan text actually predates the Wings logo this was a design that was Only used in possibly a couple games During Michael Jordan's rookie year and In that photo shoot that I already Talked about in fact there are barely Any if any pairs left of the 1985 Air Jordan Ones that feature this Air Jordan Text it was never released to the public It was kind of a special early PE thing It's one of those sneaker details that People don't like because they're not Used to it but in terms of sneaker Collecting if you have a pair from 1984 1985 that features this Air Jordan text I mean you've got a Grail literally a
Grail I mean we're talking hundreds of Thousands of dollars now realistically The only people who probably have those Pairs are Michael Jordan the person that He gifted a pair too which we'll talk About a little bit later and possibly Some people Nike but that's it so sure I Understand that people don't like the Look as much as the wings logo but for This shoe I'm actually really into this Change cuz the history behind it is so Cool but I'm making a lot of assumptions Here I've seen a lot of hate online but Maybe sneakerheads are actually into it Let's ask a few people I hate this this Air Jordan like text there you need the Wings the colors are nice I like the OG Ones the reason there's text on the side Of that one is because that's what they Had in the photo that Michael Jordan's Wearing them around his neck and also The one where he's doing the Jumpman Pose in that photo in front of Chicago This is what the logo was before the Wings logo I still like I feel like I Need the wings logo which one of these Two shoes do you like better old one for Sure what is that I like the white Tongue better the midsole isn't too much Of a difference I could tell that this One's sale and then this one's white but I think the white tongue really makes a Difference do you prefer the wings Versus the Jordan Tex oh dang I didn't
Even notice that yeah yeah 100% would You grab these ones for retail um I Always like the black toe ones but can't Really wear Jordan one highs so I don't Know it would be 50/50 but the Air Jordan is kind of making me say no oh Dang yeah but now let's dig a little bit Deeper into the Air Jordan 1 reimagined Black toe starting off around the toe With a shoe you've got this very smooth Black leather mudguard this detail of Course is the reason why they called the Shoe the Black Toe Air Jordan 1es Because it's got a black hit instead of A red hit like a regular pair of Chicago In the center of the toe you've got this Bright white perforated leather that Feels fine it actually feels pretty Similar to the 2016 black does they both Feel kind of plasticky it's not the best Moving back in the shoe that black Leather detail continues on to the eye Stay of the sneaker and weaving through These eyelets I've gone with the black Laces like I mentioned earlier the red Laces do look good but these black laces They just feel more I don't know I just Like to look better I hate that I'm Going to say this but I'm a dad now so I Can say it it literally ties the design Of the sneaker together better in my Opinion I'm sorry about that I apologize I regret it immediately then underneath The laces you get to the tongue of the
Sneaker which is actually different than The 2016 pair now I literally didn't Notice this until I tried these shoes on But the 2016 pair comes with a white Tongue and a white tag and the 2024 pair Comes with the OG black tongue with Black tag and red Nike Air text looking At these two shoes now I do think I Prefer the black tongue again because I Think it keeps it look a little bit more Cohesive but the white also isn't bad Because it kind of travels up from the Toe of the sneaker and keeps this white Line down the center I don't know They're both fine I I really I guess I Have no preference actually looking down On the top of the sneakers another small Detail that I'm noticing is that the Tongue on the 2024 pair seems a little Bit less pointy than the tongue of the 2016 pair I got this pair on the Sneakers app back in 2016 so it is a Legit pair bought this pair from goat I Have total faith that these are both Legit pairs so don't say like oh the Shape's not right it is uh the Perforations on the 2016 pair do seem to Be a little bit closer to the edge of The tongue than on the 2024 pair I Honestly couldn't tell you which is Closer to the OG I can just check all Right so looking at the OG 1985 breads That I have it looks like the toe area Is more rounded on the original shoe and
The perforations actually do go closer To the edge of the toe like the 2016 Pair obviously the shape of these two Shoes are different while this is a Reimagined pair of Air Jordan 1es it's Not a 1985 reimagined or remastered pair Of Air Jordan 1es so it's not the same Shape as the original it's kind of your Standard Air Jordan 1 shape but that's Fine not mad at it it's a greatl looking Pair of sneakers nonetheless but let me Put the 2016 pair back down grab this Pair of 2024's so there's no confusion Moving inside the sneaker you've got This black fabric sock liner that's Pretty soft of the touch it feels like Your standard Air Jordan one sock liners It is different though than the 2016 Pair of course I pick up the pair as Soon as I put it down um you've got a Much rougher black fabric sock liner Jordan brand doesn't seem to use anymore On any of their pairs it seems like it's All this sort of newer smoother finish Which I don't mind doesn't really make a Huge difference to me either way and Then moving inside the sneaker you've Got a white insole with this nice foam Backing it's actually a very soft Feeling insole and then you've got the Nike aex printed on the heel in Black It's actually a much nicer insole than What you get on the 2016 pair the 2016 Pair comes with that standard like super
Thin and flimsy insole that really has No foam to it this one has a pretty Thick foam footed which I actually Really like it's obviously still not Like the most comfortable shoe in the World but it does get the job done I Also don't mind the way that Jordan Ones Feel on foot that's just me personally Though like we talked about earlier on In the video the fit of this shoe is True to size it's your standard Air Jordan one size continuing back on the Sneaker you get to this white midfoot Panel that's the same sort of plasticky White leather on top of that midfoot Panel you've got this black Nike Swoosh Which actually I think is a tad bit Wider than the Nike Swoosh on the 2016 Pair not by much but a little bit then Moving farther back on the shoe you've Got your two red leather panels on the Top and the bottom part of the shoe on The lateral side like I already Mentioned you've got that Air Jordan Text which is actually sort of pressed Into the side of the sneaker and then Painted in this black matte paint it's Really growing on me I never hated it Like I think a lot of people did I hate This but I wasn't used to it now I'm Actually really liking the way that it Looks a lot do I want every Air Jordan One to have this probably not but Knowing the story behind it it makes it
That much better on the medial side of The left shoe you've actually got some Text printed in matching red so it's Very difficult to see in fact when I First unboxed this shoe I was struggling To find it I cut that part out but Regardless I was a little worried that They sent me a pair without it and I was Like yo there's something wrong with This pair but turns out it's there it's Just very very hard to see and it's also Only on the left shoe at first I thought It was on both shoes but it turns out It's just the left one the text is Cursive and it reads my very best with Michael Jordan's signature underneath it And the reason behind this text is Actually really cool I don't love when They put like fake signatures on Jordan Sneakers I mean it's cool because it's Michael Jordan signature and they're Very expensive and hard to get but I Don't usually like it cuz it's not his Real signature it's just like a a Printing of it however it is a big part Of the story of this shoe like I Mentioned earlier only a few people have Pairs of these probably but there is one Person who at one point had a pair that Looked almost exactly like this and I Couldn't actually figure out who that Person is through my research other than It being Michael Jordan's friend and Michael Jordan actually gave him his
Game worn pair of Air Jordan 1es with The Air Jordan text and signed it in This exact way on the pair that he gave His friend so there is one pair out There with that exact signature this Air Jordan text out there from 1984 before The Air Jordan one even released and if That pair ever goes on sale it's Probably one of the most valuable pairs Of sneakers ever made I think back in 2020 a pair of game warn signed Air Jordan 1es went for around a million Dollars so yes I totally understand that People don't love that the wings logo is Gone on this shoe I hate this but this Pair is actually based on one of the Rarest pairs of Air Jordan sneakers ever Made and this is also the first time That we've ever gotten this shoe this is The first time that they've ever Released a sneaker with this text on the Side at least this colorway so for me It's a story that sold me on this shoe It's absolutely incredible I love the Lost and found ones because of that Story they made up and I love the Packaging that went along with it but With this shoe it's almost even better Of a story because it's actually based On what really happened I mean the Box Comes with a picture of Michael Jordan Wearing this exact pair of shoes around His neck it's crazy like this pair of Shoes Never released and we're getting
This super interesting pack package with It I love it but then we continue down On the sneaker and of course Jordan Brand couldn't help themselves they had To age the midsole of the shoe which I'll be honest I don't hate but this is Definitely a trend which I think is Going to get old after a while I'm it's Kind of a pun because you know they're Aging the midou but still I think aged Mids are probably going to get old after A while to be honest though if it does Happen it's happening slower than I Thought it would happen because they've Been doing this for years at this point And then finally moving to the bottom of The sneaker you've got this Varsity Red Out soole which looks incredible all Around this shoe is absolutely amazing And I think it's one of the best Jordan Releases of the entire year better than Most of their collaborations this is Definitely my favorite Jordan one of the Year and possibly my favorite Jordan of The year we'll have to wait and see that Blacksmith 3 and how that looks but this Is pretty much it for me I know right Now Jordan ones aren't really selling Out we've got the mocha ones which are Going for right around retail on the Resale market right now we've had the Reimagined Royal ones which are going For well under retail a lot of really Great Jordan Ones are selling for way
Under what they would have sold a couple Years ago but this is a pair that while I don't think it's going to be like a $500 pair of sneakers I do think it's Going to sell out and I do think it's Going to resell a little bit so if you Want a pair of these make sure to be on Your game on October 18th or you can Grab them through the YouTube shopping Tab on your screen right now obviously Before they release but if you're Watching this video after they release Again it's all right there but this is a Shoe that I'm considering doubling up on This is a pair I'm going to get for my Wife and for my daughter probably if I Get them for retail and uh it's just one Of the best releases of the Year and I Love it because it's not your standard Air Jordan 1 there's a story behind it And the story is actually meaningful It's not some madeup BS like some of the Well I I won't say that some of these Stories are like where are they coming From but this one no this one's good but Let me know your thoughts on the Black Toe reimagined Air Jordan 1es in the Comment section down below make sure to Subscribe if you haven't yet and I'll See you all in the next one
