If there’s anything that could make a sneakerhead’s life better, it’s owning a pair of OG Air Jordans. Now, what if we told you that Jordan Brand is dropping the one that started it all, with a spin? Exactly! With 2023 proving to be a year full of retros and dope collabs, the upcoming release shouldn’t be a surprise. You see, Jordan 1 Satin Bred is coming back after 7 years, and us being ready is an understatement! Now, let’s take a look at what these babies will bring to the table this year, shall we?
If you’re new to the industry, you’re probably wondering what Bred is. Well, it’s the famous black-red color mashup that everyone associates with Jordans! You can learn more industry terms here, but now is the time for a story. Anyway, the year is 1984, and the rookie Michael Jordan already has amazing prospects. At the same time, Nike was looking for a way into the basketball world, and the choice landed on MJ. Now, convincing him took quite a bit of effort, but it was well worth it.
You see, Michael Jordan signed a deal with Nike, and the first shoe they dropped was the Air Jordan 1. The colorway was a mix of black and red, which was unfamiliar on the hardwood floor… and apparently against the rules. You see, the NBA fined MJ for wearing these kicks, and that gave Nike the perfect marketing. Only it wasn’t the Jordan 1 Bred that got the ban, it was really the Nike Air Ship. However, for the longest time, that was the story that the Swoosh went with. You can read a detailed story about the real banned silhouette here!
Although everyone knows now that the real shoe was the Nike Air Ship, Jordan 1 Bred still is a grail for many. It’s such a popular colorway that Jordan Brand gave us so many versions of it. Unfortunately, the OG design remains pretty rare, despite the public’s requests for a restock. You see the last time Jordan 1 Bred dropped was in 2016, along with the Jordan 1 Satin Bred. And now, the Satin Bred 1s are making a comeback!
In 2016, Jordan Brand gave us the Jordan 1 Satin Bred, and it was one of the coolest drops of the year. In fact, these babies are currently worth $3,000! Now, if you’re wondering about this year’s release, it’s gonna be an exact replica of the 2016 pair. The upper will feature satin material instead of the signature leather, but the classic color blocking stays. Now, we can expect these babies to drop on October 18, 2023, and will retail for $180! And judging by the 2016 resale value, these babies are gonna be worth every penny.
Whether style or money is your incentive, you won’t be the only one going after the Jordan 1 Satin Bred. So, if you wanna beat the odds and cop a pair or more, you’ll need a sneaker bot… preferably an all-in-one bot. But fret no more, because NSB3 is here, and it has your back on all sites like Nike SNKRS, Shopify, and much more. So go on and get your copy now to familiarize yourself with sneaker botting before drop day! In the meantime, here are some other Jordan 1 Satin colorways that you can get on the resale market.
