Jordan 1 Low ‘85 “WhiteBlack – FB9933-102
WHY IS IT CHEAP? Read me?
The legacy of Air Jordan has become one of the biggest driving forces in footwear, but you can’t tell any of the myriad stories the imprint does without the one that started it all. As the years have gone on, Beaverton has placed an increasing emphasis on recreating the construction of the Air Jordan 1 from 1985, beginning with the original high-cut before jumping to the Low starting with “Neutral Grey.” As this specific tooling gets longer in the tooth in its retro run, “White/Black” is the next shoe to drop.
Keeping to the simplistic two-tone look that both “Neutral Grey” and “Metallic Blue,” this pair prints a jet black heel cup and Swoosh atop a foundation of white leather and a steely grey outsole. Unlike those two previous editions, this Jordan 1 Low didn’t in fact release in 1986, instead combining the stiffer, raised construction with a reference to 1985’s “Metallic Black” High (a shoe that’s notably never had a retro release.)
If you’re a sneaker person you’ll appreciate the build quality on these. Clean lines, solid construction, comfortable insole. Definitely picking up another pair soon.
Rare to find a shoe that’s both this comfortable and this stylish. These check both boxes easily. Will definitely be ordering again.
Came in fast and looks just like the photos. Really happy with it — quality feels solid overall. Laces could be a bit thicker but nothing major. Would buy again.
From the packaging to the product itself, everything was excellent. Fit is true to size, comfort is 10/10, and the style is hard to beat. Highly recommend.
Received everything just as shown — shoes, dust bag, all there. No complaints on the packaging. Fits true to size and the all-black colorway looks sharp in person. Worth it.
