The Drop
The Jordan 1 Low OG EX Black Smoke Grey (DV0982-006) brings premium tumbled leather and a clean two-tone blocking that echoes OG Chicago vibes without the red. The "EX" badge means elevated materials—this isn't your GR low. Smoke Grey overlays against black underlays keep it versatile, and the vintage sail midsole adds just enough retro contrast to turn heads on the resell floor.
Resell Verdict
Fair market hovers around $219, with recent asks swinging between $104 and $384 depending on size and condition. Weekly order volume sits at 61 pairs, signaling steady turnover but not hype-beast frenzy. This is a stable flip—not explosive profit margins, but reliable demand from buyers chasing wearable OG Lows. Expect slow appreciation if Jordan Brand keeps retiring color-blocked Lows, otherwise it's a Dreher statt Sprinter (grinder, not sprinter).
Fake Tells
- ▸Tumbled leather texture – reps often use stiff, plasticky panels instead of buttery tumbled grain
- ▸Sail midsole oxidation – fakes stay too bright; retails age to creamy yellow
- ▸Tongue tag embroidery – Jumpman stitching should be clean, not fuzzy or off-center
Who It's For
Perfect for the reseller who wants consistent turnover over moonshots, and buyers hunting everyday rotation pieces that don't scream hype. Works for office-casual fits or weekend streetwear without the AJ1 High bulk.
Sizing & Fit
Jordan 1 Lows run true to size for most, though wide-footers often go up half for comfort.
