AKATC: A Closer Look at the Upcoming Air Jordan Retro 1 "Black Toe"
Jan 26, 2007 | Comments 30
Following up on our Air Jordan Retro 1 "New Love" post, we now take a closer look at the Air Jordan Retro 1 "Black Toe" set to release alongside the "New Love" 1 as part of the "Old Love, New Love" Pack. One of the most recognizable, memorable, and important colorways to the Jordan Legacy, the Air Jordan 1 "Black Toe" originally made its debut in 1985 only to be vaulted for 22 years. Set to retro later this year, the "Black Toe" 1s, the sneakers MJ wore when the Jumpman logo was first created, are a throwback to the essence of the early Jordan Line.

love the retro swoosh...a must for the collection
**** for this to be a package............priced kinda low. i mean the dmp was $300!!! and for the first pair of jordans ever!!! dat price is kinda an insult to da OG's. just my opinion. but they will more than likely be on my feet.
Yo is this dude really complaining. Are u trump's son? Yo the pack is decent. Its nothing in comparison to the 01 release. These ones are mid n I'm not even sure they have a nylon tounge. Imma cop but I'm kinda dissapointed. BrandJordan can do much better. 2hun is a good price
I'm gonna get em, but I can figure why they made them mids.
a true classic!!! but that jumpman on the tongue is inexcusably sloppy...the jumpman shouldn't be on there in the 1st place and it definitely should not look bootleg on THIS of all shoes! i may cop only for this shoe though.
lmao...yea i noticed that ghetto a$$ jumpman on the tongue too.
that jumpman is a pirate or something with a skinny wooden leg.
MAN THESE ARE FYRE DEFF GONNA COP FO MY COLLECTION..
Man, I love dunk highs, but these might be the most boring dunk highs of the year! Best dunk high????: Three Bears pack. Creative and ****.
this are some hot joints... can't let them slip...!! def. cop. and they price ain't as high as the VI's and XI's released last year coz the shoe it self's been always cheap... I's have always been $100 pretty sure that the reason why... and yah that jump man look weird..!!
these retro's are fine. who in their right mind has the ball's to pass 'em up anyway? YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT!
this package is outrageously hot, so real sole collectors gotta copp dem,, that jumpman do look a$$ though but hey they are classics!
im impatiently waiting for them aqua 8's
yeah that toothpick of a leg on that jumpman is kinda lame..
1 of all i love that we the reader some of the history on the shoe it gives the shoes depth and makes sneaker heads and jus average people alike want to cop these because they were the start of a long and great road by the great mj the retro jordan sign is classic and very discreet so that it can't b mixed up with anything else and 4 them 2 come out with this shoe after 22 yrs is a step up nike i must applaud u 4 another great move 4 the jordan saga tho even tho u made the 22's suck aahah!!! but love these
My 1st pair is worn out now so I gotta refresh.....They will be on my feet again
where will the old love new love package will be released?
WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its a very good set but its made with very cheap leather, I already have a set.
YO
wat is jordan gonna do next year?
its his 23rd year in the shoe game....wat will the 23s look like?
i say they take it wayyy back to the very FIRST jays, u know the ones with the canvas upper!
Are these a LS release...or a general Release??
where do we get them
they killed the 1s...these are bootleg, i dont get why theyre even a package if its a general release...plus, they are no where near the DMPs...a disgrace to call them a package
an must buy , black toes they'll just sit. but those mustard joints are gonna make my AJ1 game loook stupid nice....
OH MY GOD....unbelievable combo,best package yet and price is reasonable
These are complete trash.
The check is sloppy, so is the jumpman.
A waste, really.
