more action let's go ahead and crack this box open and take a look at these shoes starting with the
box you have your classic og style air jordan one box all black with the big nike branding here on
the top and then on the sides as well looking at the size tag it reads air jordan 1 retro high og
black metallic gold black retail 170 bucks taking off the lid of the box right here
you have your normal white paper that you get and then you got the shoe oh you got the shoe
so before we get started with the review two shoes that i will be using in today's
comparison will be the black metallic gold air jordan one from 2013 pretty limited release and
then we have the gold toll air jordan one from 2018. i'll refer to the other pairs as well
which we'll get into later in the video okay so first impressions of this shoe right here
i like them yeah i really like these very simple very clean you got the patent leather vibes all
black murdered out with the outsole giving me that vibe from 2003 which i will talk about in a second
but man yes yes these go hard to me so before we get started with the details of this sneaker we
gotta go over the history like always you got your original version from 1985 then you have your 2003
retro the mid version right there oh my gosh the only reason why i got rid of my pair was because
the patent leather started to like fade and crack and everything and the shoe kind of started to
fall apart and i just couldn't keep them because it was kind of pointless so i got rid of them and
i wish i could still find a good pair in a good condition because i would definitely buy those
again and i think that's what partially makes me so excited to have this pair right here after that
you had the retro in 2013 right here this was a pretty limited release kind of slipped under the
rug and a lot of people wasn't really sure about how it came out and all those different things
i have a full review and everything explaining this sneaker the history behind and all those
things in that video following that 2013 release we had the top three air jordan 1 black and gold
union complex con exclusive whatever you want to call it those came out in 2017 and then everybody
was going crazy with the prices and everything like that next thing you know all-star weekend
comes around and then you got the gold toll that pops up and everybody is happy about this because
me personally i like this version more but i do also wish that they dropped a colorway like
this with the black and gold basically something like a bread or a royal color blocking style all
packed leather vibes like that would go crazy but again i'm not mad at this model at all following
that release now in 2020 we have this version right here and again as you can see i love black
and gold patent leather sneakers i love each and every one of them that have came out over the past
and i'm definitely excited to have this one in my collection as well the second pair that i
ended up hitting on sneakers app wasn't my size so i ended up getting rid of those already but i
am looking for a double up on this shoe because i really want to rock a pair and stock a pair
so now that you know about the previous five releases plus this release right here let's go
ahead and talk about this version starting with the outsole you have your classic air jordan one
outsole all black murdered out rolling up to the midsole same thing all black murdered out but this
time they got the gold stitch right here i think a very dope accent and i really really love that
hit going to the upper this is a question that a lot of people have asked me what's the quality
like how's the patent leather all those different things if you have the chicago usc patent leather
air jordan 1 i would say it's pretty similar to that style right there if you think about
the quality of the patent leather and the version that you got right there even looking at this 2018
version right here honestly i feel like they're pretty similar they're a couple years apart so
you're gonna assume that the leathers are probably gonna be somewhat similar within the same era and
the same cut and everything so overall i'm not mad at these at all so as you can see the entire upper
is basically all murdered out in black patent leather you have a black tongue with gold accent
stitching with the nike air you have gold around the collar around the back end of the foot a gold
swoosh and then your gold air jordan wings logo here on the side of the foot i love the simplicity
yet boldness yet just you know i'm saying there's so many different cool elements to this sneaker
that kind of stand out but still be kind of sleek and low-key at the same time and i really
love this shoe for those reasons some people don't like this shoe at all and i completely
understand them some people just they hate patent leather or whatever it may be but for me
i'm rocking with these i could pull a lot of fits off with these and i'm definitely excited to put
these on in a rotation now looking at the sock liner and the insole you have all black murdered
out as well you got a black insole and then a gold nike air branding on the inside of that foot
as well and then you have an additional pair of gold laces i definitely think it would look good
with the gold laces but again me personally i like to just go all black murdered out so i feel like
at the end of the day i'll probably just end up keeping the black laces drop a comment down below
and let me know would you put the gold or the black laces in here so now i want to do a quick
comparison between the 2013 and the 2020 pair right here just show you a couple differences
so one big thing that stands out is the tongue you have a gold patch with the nike air branding
in black and then on this pair you have a black patch with the nike air branding in gold and then
obviously you can tell the differences between the speckled gold on the outsole the white midsole
i'm not sure if the camera will pick it up but the gold on the 2013 version is just a little bit more
bright it pops a little bit more it's a little bit more vibrant these are kind of it's like a more of
a dull gold on the 2020 pair so looking at those comparison shots right there which pair do you
like more drop a comment down below i took that same question to instagram as i always do if you
haven't already make sure you follow me on ig so you can participate in the polls on my story and
the results are always posted here let's see what the people said 56 of the people chose the 2020
pair and 44 of the people went with the 2013 and i honestly think that's pretty dope saying that
this sneaker is worth way more than this one is it's a lot more limited yet this one is just more
rockable it's more uh realistic for the rotation because it's all black with the all black outsole
it's almost like a tank you could just rock this whenever and i understand that i think maybe
people are thinking of the longevity and just the wear ability and the the diversity in outfits and
all the different things that you can do without having to mess it up or getting it dirty and
they're thinking about that when it comes to this version so it's dope to see the results
choosing the 20 20 pair saying that there's a huge price difference and people aren't really worried
about the hype i really like that and honestly me personally i like this pair a little bit more as
well so i asked the same poll on instagram which one do you guys like more the go toe or the black
and gold and this is what the people said 63 percent of the people went with the gold toe and
37 percent of the people went with the black and gold from 2020 this is a tough one i think this
one comes down to the exact question that people ask me because some questions i can answer picking
this one and some questions i can answer picking this one when it comes to color blocking style all
those different things i would definitely go with these i think when it comes to you know a tank
year round rocking these you know all time like these are that shoe so i think it's just based on
the question and as you can see i had to make sure i have both of my collection because i don't even
want to have to decide because that's definitely a tough one for me i'm like 50 50. which one of
these do you like more and why okay so now let's talk about numbers real quick and bruh i'm telling
you right now i think these are at a great price they might even drop a little bit more if you
can see right here you see the little bit at the top yeah that's my beard i put 185 dollar bit in
because i have a feeling at some point somebody's gonna bite and i'm gonna grab these for a
really good deal and then years down the line these things are gonna be hidden for full 500
and i just have that feeling and i'm like bruh if i have to i'm willing to pay 250 you know after
fees or whatever but i'm willing to wait and i'm gonna try to find them for a good deal for around
two two hundred somewhere around there but i definitely think this is worth the hold for a long
haul you can't mess these up people are gonna want these a couple years from now i know definitely
i'm gonna want another pair so i'm trying to make sure that i double up correctly now in both of my
size because i wanted to get both of my size but i got one in the 13 and one in a different size so
i had to get rid of that one already but i i needed second pairs yeah me personally if
anybody's asking get this shoe get it while it's hot get it while you can now because i'm telling
you right now these are definitely going to go up people are going to realize how far this shoe is
remember the gold toe one like those weren't even going for that much everybody was barely selling
those for 200 bucks now look at the price i'm just saying if you wait too long six months or a year
you might end up missing that boat and then you're gonna have to pay three three fifty
four hundred dollars so that's my two cents i hope you guys enjoyed it let me know what you
think about pricing how they're gonna go later in the market whatever it may be i appreciate
