Before we take a closer look at this retro Air Jordan 1, let’s see how profitable this silhouette still is in 2021.

Air Jordan 1 High | History and Resale in 2021

The Air Jordan 1, in many fans’ eyes, started off sneaker culture as we know it today. In 1985, the Air Jordan 1 was all the rage, even overshadowing the popular Nike Dunks when they were released a year later.

Before the Jordan 1’s design could be finalized, however, Michael wore the Nike Air Ships that looked eerily similar.

One of the colorways was known as “bred”, or ‘Black Red’, a colorway that would become one of the most recognizable among the brand’s entire portfolio. This colorway was banned by the NBA which unexpectedly elevated the colorway’s status.

The rumor goes that Michael Jordan was fined every time he played wearing shoes of this color, however, this is still unconfirmed.

Today, Air Jordan 1 High sneakers are still very popular and profitable. The recent Jordan 1 High Shadow 2.0 resells for around $270 while other colorways also have similar resale values.

The ‘Patent’ Jordan 1 Highs, on the other hand, are a different breed. Let’s head on over to the secondary market to estimate resale for the upcoming Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Patent Bred.

Air Jordan 1 High OG Patent UNC

• Retail Price: $160
• Average Resell: $550+
• Release Date: Thursday, 14^th February 2019
• Colorway: OBSIDIAN/BLUE CHILL-WHITE
• Style Code: CD0461-401

Inspired by Michael Jordan’s Alma Mater, the hues of which we’ve seen on many other sneakers as well, this Air Jordan 1 was and still is extremely valuable.

Uppers feature a clean white base with University Blue hits on the toe boxes, heels, and collars that feature embossed Jordan Wings motifs.

Patent leather covers the eye stays and toes while white midsoles and UNC outsoles finish off the look.

These kicks have an average selling price of over $550 per pair on the secondary markets. I believe the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Patent Bred might have a similar resale value.

• Retail Price: $170
• Estimated Resell: $550+
• Release Date: Thursday, December 30^th, 2021
• Colorway: Black/White-Varsity Red
• Style Code: 555088-063

Although originally scheduled to drop on October 23^rd, this Jordan 1 High will now be released at the tail end of December.

The uppers feature a recognizable ‘Bred’ makeover. Lux black patent leather covers the side panels, eye stays, and the toes, contrasted by blazing red leather Swooshes on the sides.

Perforated red toe boxes complement the heels and the collars that feature black Jordan Wings motifs.

Tongues with “Nike Air” branding, textured white midsoles, and Varsity Red outsoles finish off the design.

These sneakers also come with special packaging that includes a red embossed Jump-Man badge.
