to people who are saying that they got the W and got disappointed by the pair simply by watching this review , just judge for yourself when your own pair arrives. For me personally all the critisisms in this video against this OG Low are complete nitpicks that dont make me love the pair more or less. Different strokes for different folks. I like these as much as the actual OG's.
I felt the exact way , I was not happy with my pair at all and sold them immediately. Thank you for being an amazing advocate for the sneaker community
@@SheenValentineLi it’s not missing a hole they just removed a hole unlike the older one it had an extra hole, he just said missing exaggerating it. I love my pair a lot, I like it more than the older version.
This is exactly why I love WearTesters and make this channel my #1 go to on new drops. Chris holds nothing back and keeps it 100. I was passing on these anyways and now Im happy on that decision
That’s why I love your reviews. You don’t let the hype influence your honest opinion. I’m sorry your pair came out like this. I actually scored these on SNKRS and hope my pair come out alright. Much love boss
You really are the GOAT of RU-vid sneaker reviews, for Jordans.. I can see the passion in your contents. Back to the shoes, cool shoes but Jordan is ripping us off again 😂
Sad that this was my first W on SNKRS but then it got stolen through the FedEx delivery and someone who I don’t know signed off on it :( really wanted my first pairs of 1s
I’ve been saying this! These aren’t “OG cut” these are more like the Eric Koston SB Jordan 1 low collabs both the UNC, Tear away and Midnight Navy. That’s the “OG CUT” they used and aren’t like the 2015-2016 retros. I got 2 pairs for retail today but i don’t even know if I wanna keep them. Only reason to keep them is bc I have the Highs
I knew we weren’t getting bellied swoosh but I never noticed the missing lace hole until now✊🏽. And I have Unc sbs with 4 holes and multiple og lows from 14-16 with bellied swoosh and 5 holes. This might b Eric kostons fault cuz he requested the smaller swoosh when bringing them back resulting in other changes ie 4 lace holes….
I wouldn't quite say these are his fault because we did get 1 or 2 more OG Lows with the bellied swoosh (Chinese New Years pairs if I'm remembering right) after his SB Lows, but yeah this current OG Low is definitely his SB Low mold. I hate it.
I love mine, nicest low 1s I’ve ever had, they are extremely comfortable and look great with everything. Anyone who gets them will not be disappointed, they are clean af.
I always like that you don't show passion for sneakers by seeing how fast you can shout at the camera or how many superlatives you use. You show passion through knowledge and attention to detail. Love it. ❤️
Hey Guys! The Air Jordan 1 Low OG in Natural Grey releases today. Everything is crossed over here at WearTesters that your pair arrives in top notch condition. Let us know down below. Thanks for watching!
I can live n wear wd d flaws Chris. Send them over. Lol. anyway, do u think women's sizing for ds low Js also works same for men's who wants to grab ds? 1.5 up size?
It's the same tooling as the Koston SB lows, same number of lace holes, etc. Seems Jordan Brand is going with that vs. going real OG. Got my pair and fortunately, I have no quality issues. They look and fit perfect. Still would like the old OG design to make a comeback
I had no luck in getting the Neutral Grey, but had the same problem with the wonky-curvy sole with 2 other pairs as of late (Air jordan 1 centre court and light fusion red 1 high). Seems again like a right/left shoe-factory thing to me...
Perfect summer shoe but like you said, I wish the swoosh was the same as the 2015 releases! I don’t know why they decided to change it, probably just because it saved them money on production since they are in line with all the 1 lows today? Whatever it was, if they are going to call it an OG model it, it should look like the OG! That being said, I hit on SNKRS this morning so I can’t be too salty! Can’t wait to get them in hand, hopefully they won’t have warped soles…
"They are" man Chris, you weren't supposed to agree lol. My pair is on the way, went for the women's cut since many Jordan 1 lows don't have a men's, women's and GS option. We shall see if I have the same QC issues. Hopefully not.
I have done work in business process improvement for contract shoe manufacturers throughout Asia. Long story short - Nike doesn't push the contractors hard for quality for GR releases when they offer a phenomenally low price ex factory, and Nike knows that anything with an AJ1 silhouette will sell no matter what. They do the sums, and with a huge Jordan fan base that screams "Shut up and take my money", this is not an issue. Granted, the issues you have highlighted point to the shoe not being fit for purpose, but don't expect Nike/Jordan to suddenly start making shoes to the standards they did 20+ years ago.
I've been saying for the longest time, the swoosh on the Jordan 1 High OG (not the 85 cut) is too small. Even after the "remastered" program where they said they're supposed to be as close to the OG as possible. That's why the Jordan 1 High OG never looked quite right to me.
Arrrh man, every time you break out them chicago lows I wanna cry, I got them for £66 in the sale, no hype back then watched your review on them before I brought them and because the materials were good and the shoes a classic I brought them, kept them for a couple of years sold them for about the same, still no hype and regretted it ever since, new I had made a mistake after and now with hype they go for £600 plus on stock x, I fucking loved them as well, I have no idea why I sold them, I wouldn't ever sell them again 💔😢, great review as always 👍 I hope my pair of neutral grey turn out better than those lol
Quality on these is better than expected. Softer leather than AJ1 Low SB Eric Koston. Extra laces are a little darker grey than AJ1 Retro High 85 Neutral Grey. Missing eyelet on sz12.5, too. (Disclaimer: I am a fan of AJ1 Low OGs -- it was always the poor leather quality that bummed me out. So, I'm happy with these.)
Got the W on these today. Never had lows. Noticed the swoosh was different on the 2015s. Didn’t know the other stuff tho. Disappointing they would still call them OG. Might have to sell them now
I think it’s getting molded the same way as the Erick koston Jordan 1 low SB. It has the same shape and my koston pair had that same curvy un flat bottom, it also has the same small swoosh and the same amount of eyelets as this one. Maybe do a comparison of the koston and the OG low? Maybe even throw the modern 1s in?
I was looking for the 2015s last summer then the price started hiking up then they’ve almost ruined this iteration. My pair arrives tomorrow, hopefully reshape and look decent
Mine did not come warped, and I don’t really care about the missing eyelet. Still, I’m not sure this is a sneaker I want to keep for myself. It just doesn’t seem great in hand
Hey nightwing have you ever tried an onitsuka tiger shoe? I think that you’ll rlly dig em bc they rlly respect their heritage and pursue quality. Give em a try!
I don’t know if you got a dud pair or not, or if the shape is different on the wmns version but I got the wmns version and the shape is fully on point! Sharp and straight without that curve toe what aj1’s do! I have nothing bad to say about mine 🤷🏾♂️
that happened with my answer V with the wobbly sole I even tried to put a 45lb weight on it for a week straight it worked for like 5 minutes and became wobbly again I was so mad lol
What's up Chris, you and your wife do a great job with you're content. I'll probably pass on these. I have the Jordan 1 low black toe and the Jordan low mystic green. Chris, have you done a review on Jordan 4 Fiba red, and if not could you. Man the leather on these joints are 🔥. What do you think about the shoe? Just coped , would love to hear your opinion . Thanks great job on the show.
I won these on SNKRS today I hope I done have the issues like your sorry man I feel you with the disappointment so maybe you need to start being called the OG
my second and last pair of jordans, the bottom is all wonky like yours. how does this happen?! idk if i'm more pissed off or disappointed this is some bullogna!
Lots of people got a W on these. Many people saying it's their 1st W on snkrs (1st win in +2 years for me). Seems like they picked this silhouette to mass-produce with not a lot of thought behind the design or craft.
Oh dear. They really can’t call these the OG, they’re too different from the originals. Unforgivable quality issues. This is still the greatest review channel though. 🙏
Didnt even go for em, kinda expected they would fuck these up, going for the sbb lows tho, have the first sbb low aswell sooo have to go for the second one when they come out
I took an L on these, kinda sad they didn't do it right, but love the Zedd toy, speaking of that... are you going to review the power ranger shoes!!! 🙌😄
I feel that same pain and disappointment...something that you thought that will be dope and all that but ended up like that up there...Nike’s really slacking off on some of these retros...
