Air Jordan 1 Retro Hi Strap Black/Varsity Red-White
Posted by George Kiel III | Oct 31, 2008 Velcro, laser prints, and now…removable straps? To your hatred (or liking), the Air Jordan 1 has been the subject of many changes over the past month. From the Jordan 1 Lo Red Velcro, to the Jordan 1 Lo Velcro Laser Print, to the Air Jordan 1 Retro Hi Strap Black/Varsity Red-White you see here, JB refuses to leave this sneaker alone.
Reminiscent to the Nike Air Force 1 Hi, this Air Jordan 1 Hi features a strap around the ankle; however, the strap is removable (for those days you just want to lace ‘em up). Maybe strap-happy Rasheed Wallace will hoop in these one time during the season! Although the strap may throw you off a little, you cannot ignore the fact that the Air Jordan 1 Retro Hi Strap is equipped with the OG colorway everyone loves. The Jordan 1 Hi Strap will be available on November 28th, 2008 for $110; however, this limited release will be available only at certain urban accounts and Niketowns. More pics after the jump.

Oct 31, 2008 at 1:59 pm
OH HELL YEAH!!!! COPPIN 3 PAIRS!!! THANK GOD FOR THA REMOVABLE STRAP!!! OH MAN I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!! (TEAR)
Oct 31, 2008 at 2:05 pm
i dont see how anyone can hate on these. if you don’t like the strap just take them off! these are basiclly the OGs good job Jordan!!!
Oct 31, 2008 at 2:07 pm
scuks that the nike swoosh isnt nubuck.
Oct 31, 2008 at 2:09 pm
ILL HAVE THEM SINCE I ALREADY HAVE THE MOTORSPORTS AND THEY DROP ON THE 28TH ALSO. HELL YEAH
Oct 31, 2008 at 2:10 pm
WHY DONT THEY JUST RELEASE THE DAMN SHOE EVERY WHERE I REALLY GET PISSED OFF AT THIS LIMITED RELEASE CRAP!
SO I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BUY THESE BECAUSE OF WHERE IM FROM OR WHERE I LIVE THATS STUPID. AS LONG AS MY CITY HAS MAJOR SHOE RETAIL STORES I SHOULD BE ABLE TO BUY THESE.
THEN I GOTTA PAY SOME REDICULOUS PRICE ON THE INTERNET I FED UP WITH JORDAN I DONT BELIEVE HE IS LOYAL ENOUGH TO THE FANS OF HIS SHOES. BUT I KNOW NOTHING WILL CHANGE, IM GLAD I GOT THAT OFF MY CHEST!
THESE KICKS ARE A MUST HAVE FOR SNEAKER FREAKS ALL OVER!
Oct 31, 2008 at 2:18 pm

Oct 31, 2008 at 2:43 pm
Hey loser (comment 7), do you live in Mayberry? Seriously loser swanson, i bet Opie Taylor dont have a hard time paying that price. Suggestion: Put on your favorite Js, clean up your tractor and ride to the city and buy the shoes. Make sure to pay for parking because they will tow your tractor.
Oct 31, 2008 at 2:44 pm
JB is at it again…Nice shoes..
Oct 31, 2008 at 2:46 pm
And if you really want them, get at me on ebay. Cock feed is not an accepted payment method.

Oct 31, 2008 at 10:42 pm
WACK! Step your paper up and spring for the 2001 retro. Its NOT the same thing.
Oct 31, 2008 at 10:49 pm
SO, THAT BLACK PART ON THE BACK… THAT’S WHERE THE STRAP GOES THRU, RIGHT? THEN AROUND TO THE FRONT… MAN, I THINK THE STRAP DOESN’T EVEN GO WITH THE 1′S. THANK GOD THEY’RE REMOVABLE, BUT THE STRAP IDEA WAS STUPID TO BEGIN WITH…
AIR JORDANS DON’T NEED NO STINKING STRAPS, NONE OF THEM DO…!
AGAIN JB, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? WHY ARE YOU FIXING WHAT IT AIN’T BROKE? YOU KEEP SCREWING WITH CLASSIC J’S AND YOU WILL PISS OFF A LOT LOYAL BUYERS…!
Oct 31, 2008 at 11:52 pm
PLS. DON’T TELL ME THERE WILL BE A LINE FOR THESE, CUZ I’M TOO OLD FOR THAT SH*T…!
Nov 1, 2008 at 1:51 am
OGJay8 you’re a stupid f***er.
Nov 1, 2008 at 3:33 am
OG i guess er’body dont got it like u bro? But even if u got those from 01, these r lookin like a must have.
Nov 1, 2008 at 7:24 am
can’t believe bred 1s are coming out again
I’m definately buying a pair
Nov 1, 2008 at 8:42 am
the back looks ugly as hell y cant they just retro the bred 1s instead of doing this
Nov 1, 2008 at 8:50 am
Can someone say “leather swoosh”? What’s up with that?
Nov 1, 2008 at 12:28 pm
these are clean/ sh-t; i took the straps off all of my fusions/ 5’s and 12s so these will be rocked strapless too
Nov 1, 2008 at 1:12 pm
Def cop. I missed out in 01. Will not miss these. The strap will stay in the box. Will close out the year with these and 12/11 CDP. I will hang up the sneaker game and start buying for my son who is on the way.
Oh yeah, all you guys who are telling people to step their bread game up are jokes. You’re buying a $90 shoe for $300-$600 some not even DS. Go on ahead. I will rock the $115 joints and no one will care. In another 7 yrs these will be the same as the 01’s you idiots.
JB will keep hitting us with the retros. All you gotta do is wait.
Nov 1, 2008 at 1:19 pm
By the way, I’m one of those cats that was giving away and throwing away my J’s before the sneaker game became a pimp circle. I wish I had never done it because I would sell them to you loosers for $500 plus dollars.
I will buy these 1’s with joy for $115. The Haters can Hate.
I wish I would buy a $90 shoe for $600. Those guys who bought those shoes in 01 and reselling them are laughing all the way to the bank and they probably bought two pair. $180 for $600. You do the math.
Wise up fellas. This is coming from a true sneaker head.
Trust that
Nov 1, 2008 at 2:01 pm
strap -> removed
Nov 1, 2008 at 2:44 pm
ayy um nice kicks i think yu got tha release date a lil mixed up its actually really tha 22nd of november mha bro told me and i checked on nike’s offical site an some other kick sites so it actually the 22nd the velcro low straps come out the 28
Nov 1, 2008 at 2:45 pm
btw i noe wha a niketown is but do yu guys noe what are some urban accounts in newyork are there any in tha BK, BX or manhattan
Nov 1, 2008 at 3:05 pm
Lionheart, i respect you because you don’t come off like an idiot like the rest of these posters, but do you REALLY think the game is the same as it was back in 01? That these lower quality, strap added, jumpman branding, leather swooshed retros during a time when everyone and their momma is a “sneakerhead” and JB pumps releases out the ass…will REALLY be worth as much as 01s one day?
Nov 1, 2008 at 4:20 pm
these is to raw i bout to start saveing up now to get them black and whites
Nov 1, 2008 at 5:42 pm
I dislike these alot. there still not as hi Og 85′ 1s
and they never will be. even CDP jordans 1’s are not as hi as Og’s.
the only tampered jordan’s i like are the Velcro Jordan 1’s the 1st release ones.
Nov 1, 2008 at 7:24 pm
ARGH! I hate it whenever shoes are “limited”, just gets me mad! If it wasn’t limited, wouldn’t Jordan brand get more money? LIkE What the F%^&!
Nov 1, 2008 at 9:04 pm
YEAH, I NEVER LIKED THE LIMITED CRAP EITHER. BUT THE MORE LIMITED THEY ARE, THEN THE MORE VALUABLE THEY ARE IN THE BLACK MARKET…
Nov 1, 2008 at 9:05 pm
ANY OF YOU GETTING THE MOTORSPORTS XX3 ALSO, JUST CURIOUS…?
Nov 1, 2008 at 11:21 pm
BANGIN’!! …..Deez iz GANGSTA
Nov 2, 2008 at 12:17 am
ARE THESE REALLY BETTER THAN THE RETROS, JUST BECAUSE THESE ARE THE HI CUT…!
Nov 2, 2008 at 12:20 am
I STILL HAVE THE RETROS IN BLACK AND BLUE, WORN BUT IN DECENT SHAPE…THEY HAVE 8 INSTEAD OF 9 EYELETS…
Nov 2, 2008 at 12:39 am
I like these w/o the strap. Thanks for bringing this cw back JB!
Nov 2, 2008 at 12:39 am
I WANT TO KNOW ON THAT DAY, IF THEY WILL REALLY SELL OUT?
I REALLY WANT A PAIR, BUT I AM NOT GETTING UP EARLY OR STAND IN NO LINE JUST TO GET THESE… I AM TOO OLD FOR THAT SH*T
Nov 2, 2008 at 12:40 am
WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I DID…
Nov 2, 2008 at 12:53 am
I WILL SAY THIS… THEY BETTER NOT BE LIMITED, CUZ I AIN’T RUNNING AROUND STORE TO STORE TO TRY TO FIND THESE…
Nov 2, 2008 at 6:05 am
@ comment 81 you better break out some track shoes ’cause these will be a limited release.
Nov 2, 2008 at 7:14 am

Nov 2, 2008 at 1:15 pm
A sure cop
Nov 2, 2008 at 2:15 pm
i like these and I will probably copp. about them being limited its just produce hype. if these shoes werent limited then all the f***ing resellers wouldnt go wait in lines for 45987432590752908457 days to jack the prices up on people who actually want these shoes.
Nov 2, 2008 at 3:12 pm
SEEMS LIKE EVERY FREAKIN’ JORDAN SHOE IS LIMITED…
Nov 2, 2008 at 3:30 pm
Hopefully JB will release the t-shirts to go with this release, the old school black/red AJ Wings (oversized) on the front…CLEAN shirt.
Yeah…2001 was a good year…bought these and the black/blue 1’s. That Nike on the tongue..hmmmmm. I think I’ll go smell them right now.
Nov 2, 2008 at 3:55 pm
#89,
THAT’S FUNNY..! DO YOU SLEEP WITH THEM TOO?
Nov 2, 2008 at 5:13 pm
DAMN IT, THEY’RE STARTING TO GROW ON ME!!!
Nov 2, 2008 at 5:34 pm
DOES ANYONE KNOW A SITE THAT’S SELLING THESE EARLY?
Nov 2, 2008 at 5:38 pm
look at the plugs behind the kicks looks like a nasty house
Nov 2, 2008 at 6:15 pm
JT, you and OGjayB are the idiots that feel like you have to pay mad luchi to make a “justifiable” kicks purchase.
Check yourself before you know what happens….end up broke buying Shaq’s Payless s#!+ Sucka!
Nov 2, 2008 at 7:49 pm
LOVE the og colorway, my favorite 1’s, reminds me of the ‘85 jordan vs nique dunk contest.
