today i'm gonna be breaking down the different types of air jordan ones not
the colorways but the types for example we have a low top we have a mid top we
have a high top i'm gonna break it down for you there's almost 20 different
types of jordan ones and then obviously hundreds of colorways but we'll get into
that in today's video
welcome back to the channel what's up with you guys how you doing how you been
if you did not know by now my name is dj and this is the dna show
now if you haven't already go ahead and hit that subscribe button join the
family join the squad you already know what to
do man hit that like button because you already know that helps the algorithm oh
so much get this question a lot and people don't understand
why does my retro have a jumpman on it and not have a nike air on the tag
or why is the back look like this or why is there a difference in price between
these two shoes if they look so similar i'm going to
start with the low tops and then we're going to work our way to the mids and
then we'll go to the highs and then we'll go to the extra highs i don't even
know there's extra highs huh crazy so first up is the air jordan 1
low now this one right here a lot of people think it is the same as the og
low but is a lot different and i'm going to show you a prime example
for you to tell is looking at the back of the shoe if you look at the back
right here we have the og low cut right here we have the retro low
cut right here so if you can see this tab right here
that comes around and then it just regular swoosh comes back like this
that's a huge difference between the two shoes also the og cut is a little bit
more narrow around the mid-foot and then the tongue and everything is a lot
different here on the og cut as well you got a nike air
on the tongue and then you got a jump man on the tongue right here
so those are some big giveaways between the two shoes when it comes to air
jordan one low or air jordan 1 og low similar to the og low cut we have
an air jordan 1 nike sb now if you look at the tag of
that shoe it's going to have the nike sb branding
on the tag but then the back of the foot around the heel
is going to have that og cut style and last up for the low tops we have the air
jordan 1 low fat now this is a part of the fat
series which is honestly kind of funny because
i think it's more to like a sb style because they made it really really
padded around the ankle area or the lower ankle area whatever you want to
consider that and it's called the fat one low but it's
interesting because you would think that the sb would be like that style also in
this video i won't be mentioning any of the women's cuts when it comes to the
lows mids or highs i can make a separate video for that because there's so many
different styles when it comes to the women's as well so if you want to see a
video on the women's cuts drop a comment down below and i'll try to get that one
put out for you guys now let's take it to the mids so when it comes to the mid
or the three quarters air jordan one a lot of people like to call it one a lot
of people like to call it the other but if you
look at this one right here this is probably one of my
favorite mid colorways of all time there are a lot of jordan 1 mids that came out
in that early 2000s era to the 2010 era and that 10-year period
and they were cut just a little bit different than the newer mids that have
released over the past maybe five to seven years
that we have been seeing releasing to the public so they are a
jordan one mid and then the different materials and the
color patterns and all those different things
but at the end of the day they still fall in that category as the air jordan
1 mid now if you ever notice there's never
really like a og cut when it comes to the mid
it's mainly the high and the low so you really just got your retro air jordan 1
mid or you have your alpha air jordan 1 mid
this one right here a lot of people get this one confused
saying oh that's like the chicago one but it's really not it is a lot more
comfortable but at the same time the materials on the upper and then the
outsole you can clearly see the difference
between the og the alpha and then the retro og so going
to the air jordan 1 in the og cut og high style this is the
one that everybody loves this is probably one of
the most coveted one of the most iconic sneakers out
there and i completely understand why people
want a representation of the og as much as possible that's why
the og high air jordan 1 with the nike air on the tongue
typically sells for a lot more money unless the other one is just a crazy
dope colorway and it's more rare than what you could
get when it comes to og cut style one big thing that a lot of people get
mixed up is this right here the air jordan one
retro high you know a lot of these iconic colorways and i'm not mad at them
i have some of them in my collection and i love some of these colorways but
there's a huge difference between the two
a great example for the retro highs as you can see right here
you have the jumpman here on the tongue jumpman here on the back
this is not considered a og high that's the biggest difference when it comes to
these two yes it's a high top air jordan one but
it's a retro not a og high and those two letters og
is literally what's going to change the value and then well
i can't say it's going to change the value but most of the time it does
but it's going to definitely change the look of the shoe now let's take it to
the air jordan 1 og hi you see the difference the nike
air here on the tongue compared to the jumpman like on the
retros and then again no jumpman here on the back
and then you got your classic nike brandon og cut high style
everything like that so this is the shoe not i mean i'm
some people i i feel like most people like this colorway in particular
but when it comes to the og high this model this style
is the style that a lot of people like now there are differences when it comes
to eras when it comes to the cuts of the
materials and everything like that and how it's just slightly
shaped a little bit different these are both air jordan 1 og
high retros now you can see there is a little bit difference
in the toe different things like that obviously this one isn't laced up
but there are some differences between the eras
so now we know that this one came out a little bit longer ago and then this one
is more recent over the past five years and that's just a little bit different
when it comes to eras but at the same time both of these are going
to hold their value because they're considered og highs now also with the
retro og high we have seen over the past couple years especially
a lot and when i say a lot a lot of collaborations
and a lot of dope crazy colorways similar to the dr1
that's a retro og high and then you got examples like this
the backwards swoosh everything like that but it's a retro og high
collaboration with travis scott and the biggest thing right here
nike air here on the tongue even when you look at shoes like the union as you
can see nike air here on the tongue off white
air jordan 1 og high nike air on the tongue nike air
on the tongue yes they moved it to a different spot
but it still has that nike air on the tongue now i think when it comes to the
air jordan 1 high i think the sb series is something super
dope because it is very similar and the quality is there when it comes
to matching that og high style all they're really doing to me is just
switching that sb right there on the top as you can see instead of saying nike
air but overall definitely similar shoe but that's a big
difference when it comes to availability price but you know just all
these other factors now let's take it to the ajko now this
one right here there are two different variations of
this sneaker this one has your classic air jordan 1 bottom on it this was the
first retro that we saw 10 years ago and then we saw retros
after that that switched up the bottom me personally i'm not a fan of the
retros with a different bottom on them but i just personally like this one
that's a preference thing so i guess it doesn't really matter drop a comment
down below and let me know which style you like more
a big thing that sticks out with the shoe like this is the ajko right here on
the wings logo and probably one of the coolest things
that have started a major trend is the flaps right here on the sides now
a lot of people say all the flaps came from the off-white all the flaps came
from the only point this came first this was an og style
from way back in the day and these flaps right here super dope
addition to the shoe now we see it coming on the off-white
sneaker or the rookie of the year or a different sneaker like that or even like
the zoom air jordan one now not every zoom has the flaps on the
side but it's based on the zoom technology on the insole of the foot
some people love it some people hate it drop a comment down below and let me
know if you like any of the zoom air jordan ones now this
next one is very controversial and that is the air jordan 1
rare air now you can see the difference the biggest difference to me
is the shape a little bit but the air jordan on the
side of the foot you don't have your wings logo anymore
and a lot of people get that confused thinking that they bought one shoe
but it's actually that shoe and they're like oh well it's like the same thing
is this the game royal or is it not on the heel of this foot you have your nike
air branding that you would find on the tongue
stitched on the back of the foot i'm not opposed to models like this one in
particular just me personally i like more of the og
cut style i haven't picked up a pair of rare air
air jordan ones yet but maybe i might maybe one day i
haven't found a colorway that i'm like oh yeah i need to have those
over the other one that came out so for me personally i don't own any pairs
but if somebody does on them i'm not bashing on them i love them i respect
them i think they're still dope they're just different than the ones
that we consider the og cut style also we cannot forget to mention the
flyknit air jordan 1. the entire upper of the sneaker is
flyknit the insole and the midsole it's just constructed a little bit
different and i'm telling you right now they are way more comfortable than the
og high next up is the air jordan 1 85 now we
have seen a couple releases of this model
we haven't seen too many hit the public yet i'm not exactly sure what jordan
brands gonna do but i hope they don't flood the market
with this style because they're trying to replicate
the og style as much as possible that's why they call it the 85
and then the more of a narrow cut with a little bit different on the outsole and
different things like that you can clearly see the difference
between this and this right here as you can see that one's a lot more
narrow and a little bit different than that og high that a lot of people have
been looking for but this shoe right here does hold its
value and i think it will continue to rise
next up is a sleeper and that is the air jordan one strap
i'm not mad at this style just me personally i don't own any pairs in my
collection i might low-key just have to go out and
grab one just cuz for example you have a crazy version like this
that tongue is crazy bro i don't even know if i could do that one could you
rock those drop a comment and let me know
all right now let's look at the air jordan one extra high so you can see
right here it almost looks like the retro high but if you look at that
backhand around that collar meet right there
it's just a little bit taller than normal i don't own any pairs of extra
high air jordan ones i'm not mad at them i just don't think
they're for me and last on the list is the air jordan
1.5 now you guys know there was a sample from way back in the day
that jordan had and then we saw the retro come out to the public
a lot of people weren't really sure if they really liked it or not but the air
jordan 1.5 is an option me personally i would like
to get a pair of my collection i'm not going crazy to have them but if
they do come my way and i find a size 13 for a good deal
i would probably pick them up just for nostalgia reasons so i hope this video
was helpful i hope i was able to help you see
the difference between the models not just the colorways
but the reasons why people like certain shoes over
other shoes and now you understand the nike air and the other factors behind
the shoes with the jumpman different things like that with the cuts
the jordan logo on the side you name it another big thing a lot of
people be bashing on air jordan one mids and that's funny as hell to me because i
remember back in the early 2000s time when you had father's days olympics all
these other you know bmp different dope colorways that was
dropping around that era people was going crazy people was loving it and
then we got all the new sneaker heads that came into the game now
oh jordan one minute is weak and i'm like come on bro
really really and all the og heads is like all them is dope i remember those
especially when i pulled out something like this i always get some appreciation
from people something like this you know i'm saying there's so many different
good options all i'm saying is at the end of
the day buy what you like and if you want to get miz cop miz if
you want to buy the alphas cop the alphas i i wouldn't buy the
alphas but you can do it if you want to all right
you guys my name is dj i'm signing out i gots to go
i'm gone peace
