Even if these have a Jumpman on the tongue tag instead of Nike Air, the 2009 Air Jordan 1 Shadow is still a classic! Back in the day I would cop a lot more Jordans, and at the time, these were kind of slept on.

I’ve owned several pairs of Jordan 1s! As a result, I have a lot of original Air Jordan 1 reviews on this very website. I’ve been buying pairs almost as long as I’ve been collecting sneakers! Some of my first grails were retros of certain key OG colorways.
Below is a general review of the Air Jordan 1 as well as all of the different reviews I’ve written on different releases of the sneaker!
History
The Air Jordan 1 first released in 1985. It was designed by Peter Moore and for all intents and purposes was Michael Jordan’s first signature basketball sneaker.
Sizing
Generally speaking, Air Jordan 1s fit true to size and have a narrow fit. Cut, different material combinations and even when the sneakers released all affect how easy the sneaker is to break in.
That said, I have comments on the sizing in every review. Additionally, since I don’t buy a lot of Jordans these days I’ve taken to writing informational articles about Jordan 1s, including sizing comparison articles.
Materials
Air Jordan 1s have been made out of a variety of materials throughout the years ranging from basic to premium.
While many mids and lows are made as general releases and thus made with more general-level materials, some highs and lows are given more attention.
Not all highs are made with premium materials in mind, but the odds on the quality being good do tend to go up with the “OG High” and similar releases.
It’s always a roll of the dice whether Nike decides to use good or merely passable materials on a release.

Air Jordan 1 Retro High Chicago Review
Ahh, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High Chicago! One of my favorite Jordan 1 colorways and highly popular – although not this particular pair! Another version of this exact same shoe retro’d in the “OG” form with Nike Air on the tongue, making this “Jumpman” version a lot less desirable among collectors.

After sporting the Celtics pair the other day, you know I had to bust out the DMP Air Jordan 1 Bred ASAP! This would be the other half of the “Defining Moments Package” that I mentioned in the last review.

The Air Jordan 1 High OG Royal is definitely one of those shoes that everyone wants, and thus immediately sell out and become very expensive to buy second hand.

Here’s a shoe that I’m surprised got a retro. The Air Jordan 1 Hare Jordan takes after the AJ7 Hare, but puts the colorway on a pair of AJ1 mids.

I’ve reviewed one other pair of these. I even used to have a previous retro of these Air Jordan 1 KO Sail & Varsity Red, which I always regretted selling.
