You might see this and think, “Wait a second, the Air Jordan 1 never said ‘NIKE’ on the heel!” You’d be right, and you’ve also noticed the similarity between the Big Nike High and AJ1. The only real difference aside from that block text is the shape of the part of the toebox that meets the eyelets, which is more Court Force-like on the AJ1. Aside from that, these Big Nikes are a faithful rendition of the original Air Jordan off-colour, ‘J-Pack’ blue. They have some extra depth too, with the contrast between smooth leather on the blue parts and suede on the black. If you’re a J-Pack fan, these are a no-brainer; cop them from Jordan Brand Seller on eBay.

Sneakernews fails again…why would you cop these from a Jordan Brand Seller when clearly these are Nike Sportswear?????? Do you guys even like sneakers or is this just some $5.00 an hour job???

JB should just drop a faithful retro of the blue AJ1 then no more AJ1’s for a few years.

I write for Sneaker News in exchange for the pure joy that powers a generator in my Michigan cabin. In fact, I’ve never seen any of these shoes in person, and if I did, I’d have no clue what to do with them
When you carefully read what’s written above, it should be clear that ‘jordan brand seller’ is an eBay screenname that is, yes, selling Nike Sportswear kicks.

Guy mocks sneakernews and still comes onto here and puts his two cents in and to browse around the site.
If anyone fails, he does.
Learn to ready buddy.
“Jordan Brand Seller” is a seller on ebay who probably provided the pictures for this thread.
Reading is fundamental.
Oh, a legit Jordan Brand seller is one who holds a Nike account.
If you have JB, you have access to Nike Sportswear too.
Nike doesn’t give out JUST Jordan brand accounts and JUST Nike accounts.
Know what you’re talking about before you talk please.
