The Drop
The Jordan 1 Retro High OG "Black White" (DZ5485-010) brings the timeless two-tone blocking that built the entire sneaker game. This isn't some hyped Travis collab—it's the OG silhouette in its purest form, clean leather panels with that iconic Swoosh cut. It's the kind of colorway that works whether you're a first-time buyer or a seasoned collector looking for a daily rotation staple.
Resell Verdict
Currently sitting around $121, with asks ranging from $70 to $185 depending on size and condition. With 269 weekly orders, there's steady demand but zero lottery-ticket upside—this is a stable mover, not a grail. Resell trajectory is flat; these aren't climbing like banned colorways, but they also won't brick. Flip potential is modest: you're looking at small margins unless you catch a below-retail steal or have access to sought-after sizes (US 10-11).
Fake Tells
- ▸Hourglass shape: Reps often miss the proper heel curve when viewed from behind
- ▸Wings logo embossing: Fakes tend to have shallow, wonky stamping with inconsistent "®" placement
- ▸Toebox perforations: Count and alignment should be uniform—bootlegs rush this detail
Who It's For
Perfect for resellers chasing volume over hype and casual buyers wanting the J1 silhouette without paying vintage prices. Works for everyday fits, office-casual flex, or as a beater pair that still commands respect.
Sizing & Fit
True to size for most, though narrow-footers sometimes go up half for comfort on longer wear.
