Air Jordan I Velcro Red
Posted by George Kiel III | Sep 18, 2008 At the end of September, Nike will be releasing an exclusive style of the Air Jordan 1. Replacing the shoelaces with two velcro straps, this sneaker is inspired by the Chicago Bulls colorway. Although some people may have grown out of velcro in pre-school, the two straps bring something different to the sneaker world today.
This is the first sneaker (White/Black-Varsity Red) JB will be releasing as part of its ‘velcro series’ with many more colorways releasing in the ensuing months. Officially, Air Jordan I Velcro Red will retail September 27th, 2008 for $100. Everybody will have a chance to stay strapped! Is JB wrong for going back in the past and pulling that good, old velcro out? Receive a more in-depth look after the jump of these Air Jordans. Much thanks to Millenium for the photos. |

Velcro…… for people who were never taught how to tie their laces. at least you can where your laces loose… how stupid will loose velcro look?!!??!!
Sep 19, 2008 at 4:28 pm
who are these marketed towards?
i love velcros straps, in my opinion they’d look better with laces under the 2 or 3 straps without laces.
these shoes remind me of my adolescence, or othropedic shoes.
this kind of variation is already great with kids and infant sizes, i guess why not make a shoe for the real jordan fans who have grown old and would appreciate the convience of two straps?

lol no jumpman on the tongue round of applause for jb (Sarcasm)
Sep 19, 2008 at 11:07 am
if you make em high top and all silver they can compete wit Ato’s. These ain’t bad, but at the same time, they aint incredible
Sep 19, 2008 at 9:44 am

Sep 19, 2008 at 9:10 am
Real Talk……These might be the heat if you break em out in the rest home. I plan on keepin them on ice until that day comes. Sound mind or not my footwear will be on point.and they prob wont get dirty when some fly honeys pushin me in the wheelchair

YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS…!
Sep 18, 2008 at 11:33 pm

Sep 18, 2008 at 10:15 pm

Sep 18, 2008 at 9:45 pm

Sep 18, 2008 at 7:14 pm

Sep 18, 2008 at 6:22 pm

Sep 18, 2008 at 6:05 pm
These remind me of those Mike’s Hard Lemonade commercials were they say “in a world gone soft somebodies gotta stay hard” but in this case its Jordan thats gone soft.
Sep 18, 2008 at 6:02 pm

For real…releasing these as a low velcro MUST be considered a sin—>

I’M WITH NIKEINDABUTT, I’M TIRED OF FOLKS COMING ON HERE SAYING “IF YOU DONT LIKE IT, DONT BUY IT”. I UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT, DONT GET ME WRONG, BUT THIS IS A WEBSITE THAT YOU CAN SPEAK YOUR MIND ABOUT A SHOE! FOR PETE’S SAKE! AGAIN, I RESPECT YOUR OPINION, BUT MY QUESTION IS IF YOU DONT LIKE THE NEGATIVE OPINIONS ON THE SHOE, WHY COME ON HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE?
Sep 18, 2008 at 4:35 pm

Sep 18, 2008 at 3:18 pm
I’m good with these. If it was my first day of preschool I’d be really excited, but as a grown man I can’t have velcro instead of laces.
Sep 18, 2008 at 3:09 pm
Thats it JB Im done Its offical the Dr says take two straps and lose your fans in the morning.
Sep 18, 2008 at 3:05 pm
im not sure if any1 said this already, but these remind me of creative recreations.
Sep 18, 2008 at 2:53 pm

Sep 18, 2008 at 2:25 pm
Nicekicks is so enlightened, it might glow in the dark. Stop the hate!
Sep 18, 2008 at 2:21 pm
Lame.
Sep 18, 2008 at 2:17 pm
@ Juice
^^^ Valid point if the webmaster for Nicekicks were to rename this the “Positive Comments” section…BUT since it’s just the “Leave a comment” section for now that implies individuals are free to leave their honest opinion on shoes whether it be negative or positive.
Sep 18, 2008 at 2:15 pm
These is ALRIGHT… But they do look like they took a toddler version of an Air Jordan 1 and brought it out in men sizes. But def. sometin to consider…
Sep 18, 2008 at 1:55 pm
a nice new idea might have to cop
Sep 18, 2008 at 1:50 pm
just saying,who ever came up with these should be fired..velcro Js??!!?? they’ve gone to far!
Sep 18, 2008 at 1:36 pm
hey nice kicks do u know if any picks of the 11’s and 12’s out yet
Sep 18, 2008 at 1:34 pm
these shoes are “lame” ^^^ lmao yea i understand you completely anyway but some laces and these are fine in my book and like the wings logo but only on the ones not any other shoes
Sep 18, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Seriously, what r u getting out of clowning a shoe? if u don’t like it.. move around… JB isn’t sticking a gun to ya dome and saying “Purchase my ish”
Yall are just ignorant, and must really like boasting the ignorance yall maintain.
I come to this site to check out kicks I may not know about, or even find events, but to see people putting EVERY EFFIN shoe on blast, its ridiculous.
I understand, these are COMMENTS, but if you don’t like the shoe.. CLICK THE MOTHER EFFIN NEXT BUTTON… YALL ARE PROBABLY BROKE AS ISH ANYWAYS
Sep 18, 2008 at 1:24 pm
I normally flag anyone who uses the words “homo” or “gay” because of hate speak, but why when someone doesn’t like a shoe is it “gay”?
If it is lame, call it that. If it is wack, call it wack. But to throw around someone’s sexual orientation as a “dis” to a product is ignorant and disrespectful in my book.
Next time you think about calling a product “gay” or “homo” insert your ethnicity, religion, or political views and you will probably understand what I am getting at…
Sep 18, 2008 at 1:21 pm
WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?
Velcro? These look like something out of Wal-Mart! You know what I’m talkin about, the walking shoes for old folks with no laces but those two Velcro staps. JB you just put me on the spot again.
Even though I would still take these over those dang 6 Rings, you gotta be kidding me if I’ma cop these for $100 plus tax. Michael, please.
Sep 18, 2008 at 1:19 pm
JB!!! Bring out OG Colourways AJ1 High-Tops already!!! Stop messing around with us >:-(
Sep 18, 2008 at 1:08 pm
WTF! JB must be really bored. I wouldn’t buy this crap!
Sep 18, 2008 at 12:51 pm
i’d rock em with jeans.im not sure if i’d let people see the straps tho.they kinda remind me of some bowling shoes or something.haha these are straight tho
Sep 18, 2008 at 12:49 pm
“plenty of sneakers have velcro on them in actuality.
this just looks dumb with 2 straps and no laces at all?
but yea
velcro on trainers, creative recs, and vans dont just try to say velcro is gay thats ignorant, plenty of legit shoes have at least one velcro strap somewhere.”
Comment by Youngphantom09 — September 18, 2008 @ 12:01 pm
^^^ You made a good point and I agree. The same people in here yelling “velcro = homo” are probably nutting all over the Air Yeezy (shoe with the biggest velcro strap EVER)!
HOWEVER, making a Retro 1 lo with velcro straps is just HIDEOUS.
Sep 18, 2008 at 12:48 pm
just another shoe u can put n tha collection…. anything i see that hasn’t hit tha streets will be n tha collection!
velcro strap??? these should’ve been a summer shoe but hey u can put them n tha “ice box” until next summer.fly shoe 4 tha kids… i know my boys will be EXCLUSIVE with these…
Sep 18, 2008 at 12:35 pm

Sep 18, 2008 at 12:25 pm

Sep 18, 2008 at 12:14 pm
wierd i think its innovative i like them…just not for me
Sep 18, 2008 at 12:09 pm
….
velcro? JORDAN IS MAKING IT REAL HARD FOR ME TO BE A FAN THIS PAST YEAR.. all the good shoes are 400 bones Cdn$ in packs of two…and the rest are ugly or have one catch/flaw to them
i like throwbacks but jordan brand has me in a rough spot right now.

1st person to answer that question with a logical and reasonable answer wins 1 Million Dollars!!!

Here is your chance at 1.5 Million Dollars! Good Luck!
Sep 18, 2008 at 11:42 am

Sep 18, 2008 at 10:44 am

Sep 18, 2008 at 10:43 am
They hot for kids and girls not DUDEs
Sep 18, 2008 at 10:38 am
Undecided on these… They might grow on me.
Sep 18, 2008 at 10:31 am

Sep 18, 2008 at 10:28 am
