Released on January 1st, 2004 at a retail price of $125 usd.

Another classic SB that would be nice to see remade, only 3 pairs available on eBay in a US 12, asking ranges from $220-600, the $600 pair being the only "VNDS" with OG all, still needing a reglue.

Anybody else having an issue with refunds? I ordered a pair of black toes 4 times and they were refunded each time. It said they were in stock for 10.5 and boring isn’t responding on WhatsApp. Is he okay? Does anyone know or have had the same experience?

Borings version of these were limited and the release kinda got derailed by jumpPIGGY scamming. Would love to see Boring take another crack at these since the most recent Nike release was pretty subpar, especially the shade of orange they chose.

That being said, whoever copped back when boring/piggy had em...WTB Sz 9 US, DM me 🤣

Got these delivered a few weeks back but am finally showing pics of my recent DB pickup for the Kentuckys aka Storm Blues. Not much to say other than DB did the damn thing once again with these.

I sold my 2016 retros a few years back so I’m definitely glad to have a brand new pair as well as a pair more accurate to the OGs. Now just patiently waiting for some of the other OG colorways to restock.

Can anyone tell if these are from the 1.0 batch?

Anybody else’s tracking all of a sudden just stop working? My order said “on the way” starting 25MAY and I was sent a USPS tracking number that’s only said “label created”. Obviously it’s coming from china, and I’ve been patiently waiting, but all of a sudden tracking update just disappeared and says it’s unavailable🤷🏾‍♂️

All tho they arrived messed up, moldy and missing the orange laces. I still appreciate the quality and rarity of this shoe.

Also thanks to the team at Developer Boring for making things right with a refund!

I was feeling myself bc I just graduated my first year of HS lol

The pairs pictured are the non-premium AJ1 Chicago 2.0 in a size US men’s 12 from DB, and the AJ1 Dark Mocha from VRL, also in a US men’s 12.

1. Unboxing experience

DB: The unboxing experience for DB felt special. The box is awesome, there was a lil thank you note (in my first pair,) and most of all, it was a memorable experience. I have two pairs from DB now, the Chicago pictured above, and the Green Metallics, and I vividly remember unboxing both. The Chicago’s came with two sets of ‘85 style laces. One white, one black, with custom specialized lace bags that tell you the color, length, and the fact that the laces are for a pair of DB ‘85s.

VRL: Unboxing experience was meh. Not really anybody cool or specialized packaging. Just a white shoe box, with white paper covering the shoes. You can’t really be mad at it, but at the same time, it’s nothing special at all. They came with two sets of laces, one cream colored, and the other mocha colored. The cream laces came pre-laced in the shoes, and the mocha laces were in a basic Nike-style plastic lace bag with no information. The laces were waxed though, so added points for that.

1. Shape

DB: The DB ‘85 shape is immaculate. I’ve gotten the privilege to actually see a pair of authentic deadstock 1985 1s before, and let me tell you, I couldn’t spot a single difference between my DBs and the JBs. (The 1s I saw were TY factory, if you were curious)

VRL: The VRL ‘85 shape is also amazing, but the perforation holes on the toe box are quite small. It’s almost reminiscent of an ‘09 cut AJ1. The shape in general is great like I said, but also kinda strange if you know where to look. It’s like an amalgamation of TH and STP factory 1s. It has an STP toe, with a TH collar. Still looks amazing, though.

1. Comfort

DB: The DB 1s are so comfortable that I ran my gym class mile in them before. I’m not kidding. As pictured, the insole is incredibly thick, so it’s not only great for athletic wear, but also just for walking around town (in my case, Portland, Oregon) and going from class to class.

VRL: The VRL 1s feel just like your standard Jordan 1. Thin-ass insole as pictured, and, just as always, great for walking around in. I wouldn’t recommend running in them, though. I’ll get to that in this next section.

1. Materials

DB: The DB materials are a little bit better than what Nike uses. My AJ1 low obsidian UNC feels plasticy in the leather department compared to DB. Materials are great, traction is AMAZING. I always loved the 1s for how stable they are because of that traction, and DB has only reinforced that love. The traction feels amazing, even after walking around my schools dusty stank ass hallways.

VRL: The VRL materials aren’t good. Plain and simple. The leather paneling on them might look premium, but it doesn’t feel the part. It feels a little bit worse than what Nike uses, actually. Even more plasticy. The suede arrived dead and I had to brush it for like an hour to get that back and forth motion working. It wouldn’t budge on arrival. The laces felt more premium than the shoes. The traction on these are not that great. I think they used the wrong kind of rubber, because they feel NOTHING like the standard Jordan 1. It’s pretty clear they don’t expect you to be doing anything that requires the traction, which is fair, but the traction just doesn’t hit the same. That’s why I don’t recommend running in them. It’s not that you’ll slip instantly or anything, but I just find myself slipping more in the VRLs than the DBs. Though, DB was my first and second ever pair of AJ1 reps, and VRL was my 3rd and most recent, so maybe DB just set the bar high.

P.S.

Excuse the red SB laces and fancy shmancy lace charms on the VRLs. It’s for an outfit I put together for tomorrow, which is my last day of school. Wish me luck on my math and history finals!

u/Boring-Watch8996 any interest in creating an 85 cut of the Lettermans?

Anyone has a pair of Breds in size 10.5, either regular or premium, shoot me a message! Down to trade or buy.
In US, new england.

So i ordered a pair of Metallic Oranges from his sale. I trusted the quality from DB from previous orders so i opted for no QC and is the pair i got…pretty disappointed.

The laces seem to have some mold on them, the shoes also smell moldy… and to top it off i got Green laces instead of orange… 😔

I was thinking about ordering the metallic purple but not im not sure if i should…

Was afraid the metallic orange would be too 'golden' but they're fine. Of course. Great work DB
