Air Jordan Retro 1 (I) High and Low Preview
(195 Votes, Rating: 3.32 5)
Loading ...
Early March we confirmed that some Air Jordan Retro 1 Highs would release in Winter of 2008, and now have a follow up with some catalog images. As you can see, Jordan Brand has added a strap to the Air Jordan Retro 1 High.
Already, a lot of people are angered by the newly acquired strap, giving them a Nike Vandal look, rather than the Jordan I (or Dunks).
On the good side, a Air Jordan Retro 1 Low in Black, Red will release, looking identical to the Original (but low). Another pair which is predominately Red will release to the top 325 stores. More images after the jump, via TheRetroKid.
first
your *** and the shoes are to
stop with the drawings of wack *** j’s
I do like them….all 4 of them, and BEFORE ppl get all bent out of shape, those straps are ENTIRELY REMOVABLE. Personally, I dont think the strap is all that bad honestly.
Yes, a new look while people can accept spizike, that equals!
all three od dem motherfuckers right i cop em all but dat lil strap thing need to go
^^I dont like the strap neither , they need to do away with that ………
**** THEM AND THEIR STRAP AND THEIR ****** STUPID COLORWAYS AND THEIR LOWS !
OH NOOOOO!!!!
Cant believe they added the strap….
man thats okay you can cut the strap off but thats cool i like them dont down the kicks before drop
OMG I was looking foward to the red/black 1s but they fucked it up with the strap!!!
The lows are straight and that strap on the highs make look like Vandal & Jordan fusions…sorta.
THA LAST ONES HAVE A CHANCE BUT TAKE TAKE THAT PUNK *** STRAP OFF
Them boys are alright if u are a Jordan fan then u would **** wit it i know i will.
these kicks are for **** lickin fagats im coppin
I like the shoe, but the strap make it look ulgy
the first 1’s is and the low top black and reds is too I can’t wait
ARE YOU SHITTING ME, IT HURTS TO SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING TO WHAT I LOVE SO MUCH
This shoe wouldve been fire if they wouldve left off the jumpman logo and that wack azz strap……nobody is gonna want to hoop and break there ankles in these!! I see an incident like that happen in the 1’s…
idk what to think gotta see some actual pics, till then idk about these.
the strap looks pretty stupid though, not really liking that.
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Different is not always good
first thing’s first… the strap-on… who the **** wants a strap on a Jordan 1, except maybe those who are into ’strap-ons’. MJ never used a strap-on; maybe with a couple hoes…who knows. IMO, the only Jays that get ’strap-on’ love are the carpet tongues. period. These kids designing for JB now are ****** homos. Get them outta there. They’re doin too much. Go get a job at Bape or greedy genius
coppin the first ones!
i cant really say anything at this poin cuz its always the same all u peoplea re like eww wtf jb this and that and when the finest prdouct is showed ur like not bad prolly cop this and that so im have to see the final result
BREENA UR A ***** U USE STRAP ONS HAHAHAHA
NO STRAP ON AJ1S WAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH PPL . THINK ABOUT IT ITS THE FIRST AIR JORDAN LEAVE IT ALONE I WAS LOOKN 4WARD 2 THE BLACK AND REDS BUT THEY CANT PUT THE STRAP ON…. NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
first of all…if you guys want to get mad at somebody from jordan brand, get mad at gentry humphrey. He’s the one that said that all j’s that come out again (retroed) will look different from the j’s that came out back then. That’s why the 5’s and 8’s have that cheap suede….why? for 2 reasons….
1.Jordan doesn’t play ball no more so that gives jb an excuse to make less expensive suede and leather. (when jordan played ball,he wanted the best quality material on his shoes).
2.Ever since gentry got hired, JB has slacked off on the quality of materials to put on shoes. So he wanted to make it different from the j’s that came out before him. (yall don’t even know that gentry has ORIGINAL j’s locked up in his house……)
wow jb kill yourself for this
it seems like jiggs is da only person on here wit some sense…personaly i neva liked da 1’s…they flat as hell…
haha im happy i dont buy jordans anymore becouse these suck
i’m not sure the straps are removable, it doesn’t look like it from that pic… i would just cut them off though haha.
dayummmm, they blew this one….. im done after this year and packages.. this just killed everything.
why they all gotta have boring non-matching white soles. the top is all black and red, cept the last one, and the white sole kills it. plus it gets dirty easily
these things look hideous….
the **** is wrong with Jordan Brand?

this is all i can think of off of the top of my head i know i hav a few more notables in my closet!!
forgot to add:
undefeated 4s
china exclusive jordan 1s
and the low laser jordans
baggy sweat pants with the Jordans with da strap ha ha
what the fck is up with that strap?! i was excited when i heard JB was going to release the high top AJ1s, but with that strap theyve completely ruined them and made them horrific, and its hard to say that cause my favorite jordans are the 1s
If JB…, my bad, GENTRY is gonna produce garbage like this then evry1 should boycott that mess. I mean i like the 1 s cause they resemble Dunks but they dont need no strap. It ruins the whole look of the shoe. I was thinkin’ about coppin all the 1 s that come out later this year, but if they got straps then they ain’t makin’ it 2 my feet.
Maybe…if tha strapz are removable
I say **** it, if u can take off the strap. and it juss helps u tell wat generation of Jordan it is. if the keep makin the same retros over and over how are mine soposed to raise in value? plus the strap doesnt look that bad
and also, if those pictures stay true to the actual product, then screw those laces. i personally feel that the only air jordan with the thin spaghetti laces are the 12s and the 13s. those laces on the 1s would just kill them
*only good
strap = fail
if they strap em i will leave them on the shelf
I’m ******’ with those bred lows. But JB fucked the ones up by adding that stupid strap!! Looks like cheap vandals to me. lol.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO strike strike strike strike srike strike strike strike strike strike strike strike strike strike strike strike strike strike strike strike
I’m coppin those bred lows. Gentry needs to be demoted for even thinking about adding that strap to the Highs. These won’t even sell….I can see em’ going on sale for 59.99. lol
the strap is killing it tak it off
The death of the Jordan brand has arrived
wtf the strap destroys the entire shoe. Are you sure this retro kid is a legit source all of his pics look wack.
NIKE YOU JUST LOSS A SHITLOAD OF CUSTOMERS FOR WINTER 2008 JUST BECAUSE YOU ADDED THE DAMN STRAP TO THE SHOE :] I HOPE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING
if we BOYCOTT JOrdan brand maybe they’ll start releasing good shoes again, Oh how I wish they never hired Gentry. PLEASE STOP MESSING UP CLASSICS
wat the *** 325 stores only that fuking *** they should realese in the regular realese jus like the playoff
y yall bitchin all u gotta do is take the muthafukin strap off the shoe thats all then it would look like the og’s
i believe Brand Jordan get’s a massive charge out of breakin my spirits,you know, throughout their history of fkn up classics and samples and homosexual fusions, along with the lacking of sizes like 13 or 14 *sigh*, i was expecting, the basic Jordan 1 highs, you know, the one everyone loves, especially 80’s babies, i’m still praying for the re release of the metallic series ones, but i guess you can’t always get wat u want rite..but n.e way…. and look wat pops out of the Jumpmans ******..fkn AJ1’s WITH A FKN STRAP..if i wanted Vandals, i’d buy fkn vandals!!!!!!!!!!…and if i see another pair of AJ1 mids, i’ll go on a massive religious massacre and sacrifice myself to the lord!!!!!!!!!!!!
imma just go back to foamposites and dunks!!!!!
another reason to jus use my sneaker stash bread on the countdown packs….thanks for ******* up a classic YET AGAIN!!!!!..imma make myself feel better by watchin Jordan’s cradle dunk against the Knicks in 1984…so cool
errbody hating on the fusions need a ******* life air jordan 1’s fire not the damn strap
Why…?
i’ll say again…FUSIONS SUCK, they were hot as samples..until they raped them (fusion 5’s)
IF U GUYS DON’T DIG IT, DON’T COP IT *******. BUNCH OF WHINY *** LITTLE FAGOTS!
DON’T CLOWN ON JORDAN AND HIS TEAM. HE’S THE REAL REASON WHY WE HAVE NIKE DUNKS THESE DAYS KIDS. IF IT WASN’T FOR THE JORDAN 1, THERE WILL NEVER BE NIKE DUNKS.
IF YOU READ YOUR HISTORY, IF IT WASN’T FOR JORDAN, NIKE WOULDN’T BE AS BIG AS IT IS TODAY.
PAY YOUR RESPECTS ****. IF U DON’T LIKE IT, DON’T BUY IT! THAT SIMPLE!

YIZZZIRR!!!
damn. i was excited 4 the black/red release, but idk nemore.. not sure about the strap.. but, cant make a definite decision til i c a finished product. itll probly come out hot (fingers crossed.)
I’m not gonna judge these until I actually see the real shoe and not the drawings, but it looks like the black/red low 1’s will be dope

wtf is wrong with these people………
i too dnt agree w/ the strapp.. but i think im likin the white “excessives” or w/e.. nd the exclusive ones r sikk.. but how the **** r we supposed 2 kno which storez are the top 325’s!? i kno like the one in chicago nd the one in oregon r for surr! but i live in vegas… WTF?! haha
and “da shoe prince” ur a ***!!! hahaha jk but naww homie since u got all thm shoez u should gimme sum nigga!! hahaha.. man i wish i was rich.. if i was thn id annihilate all u guyz in the shoe game hahaha
destroying jordan!!!!!!!! just stop, please!!!!!!! these ***** are ruining one of the classiest js ever.
daaaaaaaaaaaaamn see this is why jb keeps messing up the shoes we love cuz of ppl sayin oh its ok just take off the strap! listen if we dnt buy the shoe they will give us wut we want!!!!!! dnt just take off the strap how bout no damn strap at all!!!!!!
yo i’m tired of this bull **** why waste ur money on a shoe that means nothing, they need to get this shoe and stick it straight up GENTRY HUMPHEY *** then it would mean something and i agree with real 2 da game
^^^^I’m with him, and only the top 325 stores. Do they really think these are going to sell like the 23’s.
23’s are WACK!!!!!!
Those are some damn FUGLY SHOES nehow. U would buy the 23’s but not these. SOOOO STUPID!
Just when i thought they were gonna bring back classic j’s, they add a strap and make another one low cut.Why?
lol freshking!! ^ the voice of the people! hahaha up humphreys *** w this strap nonsense.
DONT BUY THESE SHOES!!!!!..
so we can teach JB or Gentry A huge lesson that j’s with straps will not sell.even if the strap is removable it will still look like theres a strap due to the place where the strap was held at.
and why the 325 stores?.it shouldve just been a quickstrike or lifestyle release.those exclusive 1’s look nothing special.
yo..idk whats up with that strap but everyone go check out this new spot
SOULCONN.BLOGSPOT.COM
Please dont be the final product!!!!…
have the original 1’s with no strap.
vandals are no pretty.
iiTs waTeva goTTa waiiT TiiL They drop…jus goTTa roc iiT riiTe.
p.s ii hate vandals
Dont know why everybody is getting all mad about this….. these are the AJF1 Fusions not the og hi tops
can some of idiots read it says air jordan 1 hi retro not air jordan 1 fusion therefore these are suppose to be jordan 1 retros but they been added a stupid strap i wouldnt be so mad if they were a vandalxjordan fusion but why **** up a classic smh @ JB
^^if you are referring to me then go check theshoegame.com….. they just got word that they are fusions ******
THIS STRAPS BETTER BE REMOVABLE I SWEAR TO MUTHA^%&%&234112311!!!!!!!!!.
DEAR JESUS JB IF YOU ARE READING THIS PLEASE! PLEASE! PLESAE! REMOVE THE STRAP OH GOD REMOVE IT PLEASE HAVE MERCY ON MY EYES YOU HAVE CUT ME DEEP ITS AMAZING THAT CAN TYPE THIS AFTER SEEING THAT CLASSIC TURNED INTO SOMETHING THAT BLINDED ME WITH ITS TERRIBLE ADDITION OF THE STRAP
they look tigth wit da strap
The Hihs are cool, but why the “vandal”, don’t get me wrong the idea is cool, but why not keep it original Big J. Anyway COPPED
ummmm DJ QueerBert…you don’t know wat the **** you’re talkin about….the 1’s were actually inspired by nike dunk designs, the dunks were already a definate project before the ones even dropped, so regardless, the dunks would still be here today, AND, no ones cuttin on Jordan and his team, were talking about Gentry’s lame ***, Jordan doesn’t choose the designs, he just sits there during the AJ interviews and endorses the shoes he gets millions of bucks for, so pop the dill out your mouth and go ahead and cop, as an American, which i think you are, you hav the right tho cop, but it will leave a ****** taste in your mouth tho, next time, read a little bit deeper into your “history” before you attempt to gut legitimate sneakerheads..and i kno ur not a sneakerhead, we’re harsh critics, ur a *****
what the ****. why Jordan why? but I will definitely cop if the strap is removable.
why!?!?!?!? omg!!
but why tho!!!!!!!!……………….. lol
Its an classic but why the strap, still love the colorway and concept though, Copped
The Phats are cool too, It’ii look cool with the skateboardin stuff that I wear, but I won’t **** em up skating though.
**** Gentry Humphry
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
por que!!!!??????
well Soletaker if you wouldve stated that earlier then i wouldve never said the comment i did dickhead
The AJ1 High Premier is interesting. The rest is an easy pass.
http://www.solefresh.com
**** straps.
Man them highs is hella ******.
gotta get all the high tops jordan 1 is the best but i’ll rock em without the strap probably
If you ask me the Highs with the straps look like the nike air revolution. I think I would like these more if the real/or sample shoe was shown.
jordan brand co. has nothing better else to think of but, to frankenstein all the numbered jordans together..u know put them all together like the spizikes.i personally did not get a pair i think they suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck…… **** the mixes and **** numberd jordans to me is awsome love and peace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Though the spizikes re cool, this mixing of jordans is getting way out of hand , look at the 6ix ring joints. WTF,man,W….T…..F.
HATERS stay away, You all hate on these new styles and colorways, but that doesnt stop you from buying them all up and reselling, ******** up the market.
thanks big t
I ******* HATE THE STRAP! WHO ELSE AGREES? ALL I EVER WANTED WAS A RETRO SIMILAR TO THE 94s BUT WHAT IS THIS ****?
Hey tob I feel the same way about the strap, Don’t get me wong the air jordan 1 is and will always be a classic, but the strap kind of messed it up. But I’m still gonna COPP. what bo you guys thik about the Great Nurse Jordan 5 Fusion Joints?
if you complain you can’t rock em, for everyone else, be proud. regardless ina million years watch, they’ll pop up and be worth houndreads. p.s. it’s the truth
bammer.
GOD is pleased…..sure hope the strap is removable but if not ill still buy them….all of them
all them are fresh but I still have 2 see the real shoe before I decide,I jus bought the baseball jordan 1’s, errbody didn’t know the ones was coming back out,
One Question. Why???
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! WHY J.B.?!?!?!?! WHHHYYYYYYYYYYY!?
WTF?
WTF?
WTF?
please scrap the strap IDEA
waaahhhhhhhhhhhh i cant believe this…. i was really excited when i read the AJ1s were re-releasing winter 08 … didnt expect they would do any changes on em… this is super retarded!
I love the all red ones. A must cop!
And the value of my ‘94 bred 1’s will remain intact with these new retros. They’re so ugly with that strap.
why does jb love 2 *** up da colorways for great shoes. just leave da jordans da way they were
I always wanted the air jordan 1 in the Playoff colorway, esoecially the highs. I remember watching MJ play in them in th 90’s. The phats and highs are both Copped.
NO STRAP PLEASE
