It had a chemical stain on the box. I had to air the box out for the last few days. I thought the shoes were fake but it was the chemical from the box that made them smell. After a few days the smell from the shoes went away. I don’t know if you guys accidentally spilled something or during packaging or maybe fedex tried to steal my shoes and then switched the shipping box and in the process got chemical on the box. But overall the shoe is the most important part.

Such a great colorway and easily wearable. I believe these will be more sought after soon to come. The quality of the leather is very high. Dont sleep on this pair. Highly reccmmended. Also the new in sole is so comfortable.

Great overall shoe!!

I purchased this shoe as the first in my collection with the Jordan 1 silhouette, the shoe came unlaced with two kinds of laces one in black and one in red as pictured on the site. Personally i like the contrast that the red lace and the "Air Jordan" logo makes on the black leather the mesh fabric. I got a size 9.5 while my feet are actually a size 9, due to the availability of this shoe but despite the half size difference these shoes hug my feet very well and provide a great amount of support and comfort when rocking these as an everyday shoe. I think that the only thing that I would personally change about this shoe is that the tongue and upper is made of the mesh fabric as opposed to the classic leather with the breathable toe as seen in models such as the AF-1.

Have wanted these shoes since they released all the way back in 2015. Thank you for keeping them in such good condition. Shoes were exactly as describ

Killer quality,fast delivery,and finally an average joe gaining exclusive access!

I finally received exclusive access for the AJ1 High OG Pollens after years of waiting and was in the middle of taking of my scrubs before resting for the evening and decided -hey why not check if I got early access before the day is over and boom! Selected my size 12 and immediately checked out.I received them quickly the following Monday and quality of the leather was on of the best on an AJ1 in some time. Awesome speed of delivery, killer quality and brilliant color blocking.I was so elated to receive these, yellow is my favorite color and I have had my eye on these for some months. Thank you Nike! Always check the Nike SNKRS app people,keep your eyes peeled,you never know! 👀

My favorite app

I really enjoy the Nike/SNKRS app. I feel like most times its more fair to win draws compared to other apps or websites, although there are times where I will go on a stretch of not winning anything when there are a pair that I truly want to wear, but with so many entries & attempts going on all across the contry I understand you can't win them all. But other than that its a fun, fair & great app for real sneaker heads. Thank you for every pair I have won & for exclusive access for my 1st time on the recent Air Jordan 1 Pollens. Hope to have more chances to shop with Nike/SNKRS

Nice shoes!

The shoes look much nicer when on hand than on the website. When I opened the box, I could smell the "recently manufactured" scent. They looked awesome as they lay sideway opposite to each other. Because I use a special thin cast-boot I had to order a 1/2 size bigger than my true size. I laced the shoes with both laces included, red and white. When I stepped into these shoes, they were a nice fit. I couldn't tell they were half size bigger, 11.5 vs 11.0. I got many complements from my family. My grandkids loved them so much that they kept telling me I should buy them a pair. They are 4 boys. It would be too expensive. The inside of the shoe feels comfortable although the insole could've been made better with a bit more cushion. Luckily I have Dr. Scholls inserts ... MoreThe shoes look much nicer when on hand than on the website. When I opened the box, I could smell the "recently manufactured" scent.

Yes, I'm still at the stage where I keep looking at them to make sure they still look new. The quality seems very good. Hopefully it will be a pair that will last for a long while.

Perfect pair of Jordan 1's

I've always loved Jordan 1's , this pair in particular makes excellent use of materials combining a nylon toe box and leather panels, colorway is simple and profound while giving you a multitude of options for styling. This pair got moved to the top of my sneaker rotation. I live in Chicago where winters can be rough , having a pair of kicks that look better add they wear and are durable is essential. The materials make these easy to maintain ( clean ) and bring this whole thing together. Im really excited about these shoes.

See them in hand if you haven’t already

There seems to be a lot of negative reviews about these shoes due to the appearance. For those who have never seen these in person. They do give a used look. The leather is similar to the bright crimson fours. The best way I can describe it is a wrinkled or worn leather effect. This is done on purpose. I personally like the look but most people may not. Best to check these out in person before buying on line if this would impact your purchase.

Too Good.

The 2016 AJ1's "Banned" are too good (and worth too much) to wear and look great next to my other 1's but here's the major problem I have with them - they look even better on. And they feel awesome. This makes them too good NOT to wear! No other sneaker is such an easy, no brainer to kick about in. The tumbled leather of these and the shattered backboard away game help it mould to my feet so perfectly. The leather on the Letterman colorway feels a little tighter when slipping them on and off. Both type are great at the end of the day. Glad I got those options so hopefully they'll each last longer than last years shattered backboard which I slept, ate, walked and ran in 24/7 until I had to force myself to put them on the shelf right before sole would about to give ... MoreThe 2016 AJ1's "Banned" are too good (and worth too much) to wear and look great next to my other 1's but here's the major problem I have with them - they look even better on.
