Any reviewer or person stating “these are almost like the 2021 pair” is completely wrong. From the slightly slimmer outsole, different midsole tooling, slightly bigger swoosh, thicc polyurethane insole, boardblasted, Eight lace holes, wider more rounded toe box…heck even the shoe laces are different! I don’t mind paying for top quality products, so the price hike was well deserved. I wish all shoes were crafted like this.
Just got a pair for $120
Missed out on the drop so I’m waiting when these dip below retail. Very nice on feet 🤌🤌
There is no premium quality with Jordans sir. That’s just your head telling you they’re premium since you paid so much.
I bought 2 pairs 👌
I’d cop if the weather wasn’t gonna be shit from a butt until mid March. All my sneakers are retired rn.
Do the 85 lows have wider toe box than OG lows?
The toe box is more on the rounder side, so yes it is slightly wider. The OG lows have more of a pointy, narrow toe box.
Had these in hand and passed, but kind of regretting it.
Currently have the 2015 Bred Lows and I wish the 85 Lows had the same row box and swoosh size. Although I honestly do like the 85 Cut Lows better than the new-gen OG lows (so confusing).
The swoosh size on the 2015 bred is not how the OG size was. It is bigger, so this swoosh size is much closer to the 85.
Yes all these different OG cuts are confusing lol. But I agree, the 85 cut is better than the new gen OG cut.
Why can’t I find these on stock x ? Goat has em though
I passed because I don’t feel like spending 170~180 for a shoe I have more than enough alternatives for.
They do look nice though, congrats ✌️
Where you guys been copping? I never seen an official release via nike
85s are always NBHD release, so mainly boutiques release them.
A few boutique stores have them in stock:

If only they didn’t go for 180
Yeah these ppl lack self respect:D
The premium price is worth the premium product they are making them with.
The people who complain about bad leather, are the same ones who say they won’t pay $x when a quality product comes out. Don’t let the price and the fact that it’s a low fool you, you’re getting a premium product.
Don’t be fooled by Jordan brand. They don’t use full grain leather ever. The Jordans you have probably use top grain with a coating that makes it feel nicer. A real premium leather shoe is going to cost way more than that.
People trying to justify 180 for crap leather that Jordan brand says is premium 🤣
Crazy how people some people think Jordan or most brands use real 100% leather on their favorite sneakers. First of all real leather sneakers costs a lot! and they also creases faster and is just not practical for these brands to make sneakers in such large quantities using pure leather.
90% of this sub is driven by desperation for purchase validation
I’m sorry, but this made me laugh out loud. People still think they’re getting a quality product from Nike. That’s funny. A decade ago the prices were cheaper, yet the leather was of a higher quality.
Well worth it
Love these! Super easy to style, they’re gonna be my go-to beater. I have wide feet also, so I do appreciate the wider toebox.
I do like the more padded heel area (improves comfort), but I don’t love how it makes the shoe look bulkier around the back.
I put some light grey laces on mine to match the swoosh :)
Did you post pics with the grey laces, might have to see that because that sounds like it would elevate the sneaker a little more.
I as mad I won two raffles for this sneaker, but now seeing I’ll wear it a lot makes me happy I have a backup
Doubled up on these, a lot of people gonna regret not copping in a year or two
Same. And got my wife a pair.
I might triple up tbh
Can we stop calling this overpriced sweatshop shit “premium” it’s absolutely not. It’s the same junk made in the same factories everything else is made in, albeit sometimes with less shitty material, but certainly not premium.
No it isn’t
Does the thicker collar make them fit tighter? Curious on the sizing with the 85 cut.
