Air Jordan 1 “AJKO” White/White-Red

Air Jordan 1 "AJKO" White/White-Red

When news first broke about the release of the “AJKO” in White/Varsity Red-Black, older enthusiasts were more than pleased to learn about their opportunity to grab a pair of canvas Air Jordan 1s. The next colorway in the series utilizes more simple color blocking, but still possesses the same vintage aesthetic.

White canvas is used for the uppers, including the panel trim. Like the midsole, this material has been yellowed to appear as though the shoes have been worn a good deal. Red leather is in place along the quarter panel for the Swoosh, and matching accents appear elsewhere. Does the AJKO have you feeling nostalgic?

    if you pass on these (and you have the money) you’re not a true a fan of the Jordan Brand (1-14) shoe… this is a crazy chance to own a Holy Grail IMO

  10. Posted by SC at March 8, 2010 at 11:02 am

    If you buy every single shoe that JB releases it doesn’t make you a “True Fan” it makes you brainwashed.

    I can’t believe you guys are so hyped over pre-yellowed shoes, I bet you blow a gasket when your current sneakers turn yellow at the soles. These are not dope at all in my opinion. Would you buy pre-yellowed “Space Jams”.

  12. Posted by AIR PENNY at March 8, 2010 at 11:09 am

    Not bad, looks really nice. I think The Game would like these too. :-)

  13. Posted by G. Hall (raawr! is THAT scary?) at March 8, 2010 at 11:26 am

    fresh w/o dirty soles dammit. not OG colorway anyway so i dont have the money for it

  14. Posted by JAV23 at March 8, 2010 at 11:28 am

    I’d rather make my own yellowing on my own shoes WTF? That’s like buying your homie’s kicks just so they’re broke. In let me make them yellow and break them in. Stupid idea.

  15. Posted by koebot at March 8, 2010 at 11:29 am

    SC and RETRO3, I agree.

  16. Posted by The Sexiest Korean Alive at March 8, 2010 at 11:55 am

    @All the yellow soled haters: its a VINTAGE look, if you dont like dont buy k? as for myself ez cop

  17. Posted by The Martian at March 8, 2010 at 11:57 am

    Clearance rack!!!! I will get these when they go on sale for $60 and use my $20 off coupon at finishline to make em $40….really thats all they are worth! I would never pay retail for these garbage ass shoes!

  18. Posted by The Martian at March 8, 2010 at 11:59 am

  23. Posted by monk41 at March 8, 2010 at 1:13 pm

    too fresh but no bread, DAMN!!! school i hate you……..

  24. Posted by Shawn-c at March 8, 2010 at 1:27 pm

    Man, who buy some kicked that looked used…lol it defeats the purpose of the reason y u buy a pair of new sneaks

  25. Posted by AlwaysInJ's at March 8, 2010 at 1:52 pm

    It’s funny I get so pissed when J’s like my 14 retros start yellowing and they are only a year old, but then Nike can take a product, pre-yellow it and sell it for an even higher retail. Like my guy said down below earlier, would you buy pre-yellowed space jams? Would you buy pre-yellowed Carmines??? IDK

  26. Posted by MJSF at March 8, 2010 at 1:56 pm

    Nice but not worth MSRP.

  27. Posted by arod at March 8, 2010 at 2:19 pm

    if u buy these u seriously need 2 get off jordans nuts

  28. Posted by thaBaum at March 8, 2010 at 2:28 pm

    I agree with alwaysInJ’s.if I wanted a ‘vintage’ look I’d buy so OGs

  29. Posted by thaBaum at March 8, 2010 at 2:31 pm

    *sum

  30. Posted by John_45/23 at March 8, 2010 at 2:49 pm

    I totally agree with “Sexiest Korean Alive”. Stop with the hate because they’re still (in my opinion) one dopest releases that JB has come out with. I for one, will have both AJKO’s and any other og colorways that drop.

  31. Posted by Jerronimo at March 8, 2010 at 2:50 pm

    Not diggin the stained look. Might as well copp some used old pair off of ebay. I like FRESH kicks! You’ll never catch me in a dirty pair of shoes….I just don’t

  32. Posted by puki at March 8, 2010 at 3:28 pm

    I just sold my grandmas gold chains to pre order these

  33. Posted by NIKEDEE at March 8, 2010 at 3:50 pm

    I would buy them and put them up. Not a big 1 fan but these are dope.

  34. Posted by mike m at March 8, 2010 at 3:56 pm

    honestly there dope but i dont want to drop about 125 for sneakers that have the yelloe effect to them id rather them be like bleach white but the bottoms r dope

  35. Posted by itzpaqmanb at March 8, 2010 at 4:12 pm

    This shoe’s sole purpose (no pun intended) is to have a vintage look! Of course you wouldnt buy pre-yellowed space jams or 6′s..BUT those arent VINTAGE Jordans..If you decide to pass up on the AJKO because of some vintage shxt thats probably gonna come off anyway your krazy! Who knows when/if these are gonna drop again..Yes, I agree that I would have them lookin fresh..im not gonna let that stop me from copping these..WAKE UP

    FLyyyy

  37. Posted by RETRO8S at March 8, 2010 at 5:49 pm

    yellowed soles are laaame. why not just keep it fresh and let it happen by itself. but i still might cop cuz the colorways coming out are fresh.

  38. Posted by przotherbadguy at March 8, 2010 at 7:36 pm

    i love these so much, but its kinda hard finding them for the right price. for what people are charging you’d think these are made of gold!!!

  39. Posted by the truthhh at March 8, 2010 at 8:47 pm

    who would want to wear those..
    i know i dont like wearing yellowed sneakers..
    waiting on those 6′s in junee :)

  40. Posted by D-BOYFRESH at March 8, 2010 at 9:33 pm

  41. Posted by Phenom305 at March 10, 2010 at 12:18 am

    I think it looks good. Even tho I hate to have a spec on my kicks this look is freshhh feels like I ran across a baseball field.
