What all the hype is about
Here’s the official description from Jordan Brand:
For the fourth year in a row, the Air Jordan 1 Hi ’85 will be released – the truest re-issue of the 1985 model to date. First introduced in February 2020 as part of the “New Beginnings” Pack with the Air Ship, the Air Jordan 1 Hi ’85 will see a reprisal of the original black/white colorway from 1985. It features a smooth leather overlay in black above a smooth what leather base. with standard nylon tongues and mesh interior linings.
With the Nike Dunk Panda becoming one of the most popular and not to mention omnipresent shoes in the world over the last two years, it’s safe to say that some might think this is a copy, when it is in fact one of the best shoes the brand has ever released. Last seeing the light of day in 2014, this is one of the best from the brand you could ever own, period.
As an editorial note, if you plan on reselling these, please do not enter the raffle, as some people actually want to wear these shoes and pay retail for them.
Thank you and all the best to you and yours.
Good luck!
