My parents got me an NES when I turned six. I think they were $250, but an inflation calculator says that would be equivalent to about $600 today. Makes me a lot more thankful for what my parents did for me. Thanks for the review on the capsole. I’ve been considering a purchase.

I believe the hits of yellow is to represent Georgeann Wells, who was the first woman to dunk in a college game back in 1984. She played for West Virginia.

4:57 Ok Mr. Nightwing….let me spit some education for ya lol 😂 or let me hit ya with some knowledge lol 😂 I think it’s Georgeann Wells who played for West Virginia in the mid 80s, and was the FIRST female college in-game dunker in a professional NCAA basketball game, and the color represents her school Colors of WV University. And she dunked in December of 1984 ironically enough the rookie year of Michael Jordan. Hence the name and why it’s called “First in Flight”. And hence why it’s a women’s release and kind of an homage to her but I’m not too sure they reference the Wright Brothers as well. But given the connection to UNC school and the fact that they took off in North Carolina, you can say it was a 3-way reference. So the storyline makes sense for these shoes. Anyways, I do hope to get these in my size… bc you’re right they are a consolation prize for these who didn’t wanna pay crazy resale for the UNC AJ 1s and then the Obsidian AJ 1s.

My birthday in 97 sticks out. I turned 21, and my girlfriend surprised me with a pair of Playoff 12s, and a NWO Hollywood Hogan Birthday cake. Two of my favorite things in 97, and the shoes matched the cake!.

6th birthday. Had an entire party with neighbors and family. Met a lot of family members I haven’t met before that I talk to, to this day. And to top it all off I got the best birthday present ever. A plane ticket to the United States of America. Been here since 2009 and forever grateful.

I’m looking at all the theories in the comment section, and I think Jordan Brand basically saw an opportunity to replicate the Marquette Air Jordan, one players exclusive, and they did it. Gave it a cool backstory, but regardless, they should’ve released these in full sizing no matter if it was extended women’s or not I don’t know how they expect 1s to pick up any steam again , when all the best releases only go up to a 10 1/half I can fit this shoe barely , but I feel bad for the people that can’t . Another great review. Thank you, Chris.

Damn Chris…lol 😂 3:40 nearly half the video was on the Capsole product. But I appreciate you showing how to use it. You gotta demo it to sell it.

Hey guys love the show. You guys always kill it. You guys made me a sneaker head with all your helpful information and insight. Gotta ask how sick are you or not sick of Jordan 1s. I think I reached my limit in even seeing them in stores

There’s something special about your background music. In a quiet room it has this surround sound effect. Like I’m hearing music from outside. It’s really cool.

I like how this cw. Might grab a pair if I get a chance. Awesome review as always. 🔥

Man, my favorite birthday was the same, with TMNT! I remember that I got all the OG characters with the skateboards that had the oversized airboat looking fans on the back, for each turtle. Since my birthday is close to Christmas, I ended up also getting the blimp and the van, that Christmas. Probably the best week of my childhood!

I recall my 4th birthday and I’m about to give away my age here, but coming out of Sears with the He-Man’s Castle of Greyskull which was half my size but I definitely wanted to carry that thing out myself. Pure childhood joy…. Great review, a must cop for me, been a minute since I’ve grabbed a Jordan 1 high…

These are nice! If I didn’t already have the UNC Toe 1s from last year, I’d probably be interested. My favorite birthday (I think) was when I turned 30. I was on my first Route 66 trip from Chicago to LA. I’ve had three birthdays on old 66, but the first was probably the most memorable.

Those gloves are super dope Chris!!

My birthday back in 1989 was like that, but with Ghostbusters everything. I still have the extra napkins from that party because it has the ghostbusters logo on it and my mother knew how much I love Ghostbusters. I'll keep those napkins for life.

Favorite birthday was last year when I did the hot ones challenge with my family and they interviewed me. Core memory😊

We out here like chopped liver. Hope those that can fit in them enjoy em. N64 birthday probably. I didn't go full N64 meme kid but it was cool. Genuinely happy for you Chris and your family. And many more on channel 4.

These are Beautiful

You need to review the Jordan 1 cacao wow. They are basically like ashy versions of black toes but the quality is amazing on them.

Fingers crossed for extended sizing!!

God these are beautiful! They look so similar to shoes I made in NBA 2k to match the nuggets uniform. Have to coppppo

Not a bad shoe, I think they would look better with the dark blue laces, but I think I will wait for the obsidian lows rumored to launch next year. My favorite birthday was probably around 2007, my parents threw a party with all my friends, and my older even dressed as a clown for me

Shout out to Mrs wing, the clips from the tv show etc. Is underrated

Ooh, these are nice. Might have to see about a pair of they drop below retail, which considering the market at the moment, is likely. My 40th was pretty damned good. Exclusive visit around Lego in Billund, Denmark, dinner at one of the best restaurants in the world, amazing hotel stays, couple of parties. I was a lucky guy.

My most memorable birthday (from an experience perspective, don’t remember my age at the time) was a birthday party at a beach club in Buchanan, Liberia. When I was young, we lived in some remote areas in West Africa and I didn’t have a lot of friends. But when we lived in Buchanan for a year or two, I got to have an epic party with friends!

QOTD: I can't quite remember when it started, but I used to go to an Orioles game with my friends every year for my birthday. My parents used to take us, and then when I was old enough to drive, it would just be me and my friends making the drive up from DC to Baltimore. Fun times. Quality materials and a cool colorway (UNC x WVU). I might have to go for a pair of these. It's great what we end up with when they try. Thanks for the review! You got my like and you got my comment.

I have the obsidians, hopefully I can grab these too!

Your 7th birthday sounded incredible. VERY similar to mine. All TMNT themed and so on. Simpler times man....simpler times.

I fell in love with this release when I first saw this on the snkrs app. I'm really considering getting these when they come out. I'm a 10.5 and the size 12 women's are usually one of the first big sizes to go. Haha I don't like celebrating my birthday, my birthday is on Halloween. I think the most memorable birthday I had was when I was a freshman in high school, my sister and her kids came from out of town to celebrate with me. She brought the brown Costco cake with the weird 3 color rainbow... I looked at her confused and I jokingly said "are you trying to hint at something?" She gave me a nervous reply and told me "no no no!! I had waited until the end of the day and it was just this cake and a cake with random sports balls in it that were left. I'm so sorry" I laughed and continued to say "I like sports! Mainly basketball though" I started laughing and told her it was okay and I apologized for leaving her feeling bad. I remember we had pizza and I took my sister's kids trick or treating.

These look GREAT.

amazing shoe!! I got 2 favorite birthdays. When I was 6 years old my mom and her family held a surprise birthday party for me. It was my only surprise birthday party ever and it made me feel so special!! my other favorite birthday was my 7th birthday when my cousin bought me a Game Cube 😂

If these were in extended sizing I would 100% be grabbing a pair. I think these look incredible with the yellow laces but for some reason Jordan brand has decided it doesn’t like us big footers this year. So many fire womens shoes that aren’t in extended sizing

Not bad at all I love the UNC blue on em. They just remind me to much of the UNC Obsedians from a while back.

Yup…. Not sure how I feel about the Yellow. But I love the colorway overall. Solid shoe! The quality looks great. 👍

The nuggets 04-08 home and away jerseys flow with those #15 #StayMe7o

Fire shoes!!!🔥🔥🔥 Man, favorite birthday…hmmmmm. 32. First birthday after the birth of our first kiddo, my son. Good times, good times

Hey Chris. I’ve got a really fun question for you. What do you think was the best year for Jordan brand? It could be colabs, models, or one offs. For example, 2019 was dope year We had the Travis Scott 1’s, bred 4’s, etc.

I had many Great Birthdays when I was young! One of them was when I got the Ninja Turtles Turtle Wagon vehicle toy on my bday, another one was the release of Mario Brothers 2 on Nes was exactly on my bday so I picked that up that day....in the 80\s was all about KFC on bdays!

Must have for me

Chris send your old shoes... For us it'll be a blessing..... Want one of any old shoes of yours 😊....

Favorite birthday: 1992 when I was 10. Got a crisp pair of the Infrared 6s and tickets to an Orlando Magic game.

I like these *Thor voice*. My favorite b-day was my 25th for reasons that cannot be said on KZfaq

These are nice

WearTesters Approved Capsole. Now I Can Buy Their Product😂

Copped my pair from Goat and they are beautiful 😍

I like the gold accent on the shoes, really make the difference

hoping to cop a pair since i missed out on the obsidian joints..

This is EA Laney and Carolina colorway combined. And the NC license plate says “First in Flight “

I think if they made the logo blue instead of gold given the sail accents……if they gave us a cracked leather black ankle and for all sizes…….they couldve made these into the closest thing well get to a UNC Lost and Founds! (Market them as a lost concept from the nike vault finally being released to the public!) but make the blue nubuck the same color but in leather to make it fit lost and founds materials. And they come with navy, sail and university blue laces.

These are very nice alright 😊

So many cool colorways lately in women’s sizing, which is _just barely_ too small for me. Wish they’d just do a full size run!

love this colorway, its something about the blues that makes me want to buy funny how hawk tuah is now a saying and started all in 2024, witnessing cultural history being born 😂

Regarding the question of the day, I don’t really “celebrate” my bday…to me it’s another day and I’d rather work. I typically don’t bring it up or mention it as I like to just let it fly under the radar. However, this particular one….a small group of friends surprised me with a homemade red velvet cake….shaped as a porterhouse steak and it was just awesome! ❤

I had a similar birthday. I got all the ninja turtles, splinter, most of the bad guys and to top it off the sewer play set and a few games for my Sega Genesis

Definitely Georgeann Wells 1984 Dunk. First woman to do so.

TMNT AND NES!? Nice!

Leaving my question again, since it was ❤ed by you two... QUESTION: If you could have one shoe come back every 2-3 years with necessary interior tech/luxury improvements... What would that shoe be?

I really don’t understand the logic behind which pairs get extended sizing or not. Hopefully they release a similar men’s colorway down the line. I have the Obsidians so I guess I’ll just appreciate what I do have 😅

I have a question, what’s makes you guys happy? Both of you guys!

My 29th birthday (2019), when I got my first dog is easily in my top birthdays! ❤️🐶

4:34 see I agree… the yellow logo…. Should’ve been the Carolina baby blue or even white.

Reminds me of gold aviator’s wings. First in flight. Get it?

I might have to squeeze my size 11 feet into the 10.5s. It's a major shame these aren't extended sizes. Nike already killed the Jordan 1 by oversaturation of colorways and then they don't release the best ones in extended. Same thing they pulled on those Lattes.

My favorite birthday was my 15th birthday my mom rented out a private birthday room in a local Chinese buffet restaurant and my family and friends attended and it was very awesome ❤🎉

The colorway on these is the same as the NC license plate which also says "first in flight". I was kinda thinking it was done like the plate.

My 7th birthday was mad memorable. Context: my mom is 1 of 14 siblings, huge family. Most immigrated here from the Philippines and I grew up close with my extended family because we were constantly having family events for weddings, birthdays, just to hang. On my seventh birthday, my parents, aunts uncles rented out a theater, or at least it felt that way and we all watched the SpongeBob movie together. I'm sure for the adults it was whatever but for me and the rest of my cousins it was one of the best movies we've seen in our young lives lol and I remember thinking it's nuts that we just rolled into this theater 30ish deep

Man i feel navy laces is missing here.. i would 100% copped if theres is

Jordan 1 or 3 for life. Whatcha wearing.

Damn, Son... THAT was a beautiful birthday, Chris!!!

I wish I was your little brother, whose school started after yours did and I got home before you. So once you leave for school I can have a disney princess song moment in your room around the shoes and then "borrow" one to show out for the day.

Nightwing bro. the insoles for this pair is the same for military blues. My feet was in pain. Had to change the insoles.....they should ban these insoles.

Playboy, Another Great one. I'm size 13 in men , what size would it be in women's.....God Bless.

Jealous that you guards get the cheaper AND wider selection of shoes from which to choose lol. I’d rock these without blinking

I am stuck in an ATM vestibule with Jill Goodacre!!!!

While id pass……i just got the unc toes! (Theyre legit) and since i am gonna try to get the unc 1s (chicago color blocking) and obsidians i will cop these to complete my unc 1 collection!

can u review the nike sb nyjah's 3

🔥

they have a Marquette PE vibe to em

The continuing and incredibly confusing exclusion of sizes above a mens 10.5. Keep doing that and keep seing that stock price tank, Nike/JB. So many more shoes I would have bought if they would have just made them in my size.

Extended sizing for canadian customers still available

Where can I find that t-shirt my man it is 🔥 I checked your website but couldn’t find it. Please tell me you’re selling them

I really like these and am a sucker for any Jordan with Heels colors! Sadly, it’s not extended sizes so I’ll probably pick up a UA pair - sigh. When is Jordan brand gonna drop this women’s only thing and just do extended sizes for everything??

Heres an idea i made to fuse the ub and osidian same design…..but make the ankle and swoosh black like the ub1 for contrast and add to the fusion of the two models. For contrast make the sail parts white to make it look crisp and fresh out of the box! And make the wings logo university blue! And the tounge tag is the same but a unc blue nike air stitch! Slight tweaks to this model wouldve made this way better than what they gave us! Also black laces are the 2nd lace pair to come with the default unc colored laces! Over a specific design reason thats explained below in this comment And this would make the real one (6/10) into a (8-8.7 out of 10) also make the low sole black 4 unc parts(toe guard eyelet and logo and tag stitch wordmark) 4 obsidian (lower and upper back and tag color and navy interior pad) 4 white parts (side, midsole and tounge and toe) 4 black (laces, ankle, and swoosh and bottom sole) You see, clothes and sneakers like art flows together in many instances when a work of art has an even amount of contrast. Thats what i had in mind designing this idea. The issue with some jordan releases lately is they dont have the correct amount of contrast when needed or implemented in the wrong areas of the shoe.

The yellow laces pop on those

Nope, no extended sizes on this one. The women have been getting straight 🔥

I’ll be cliche and say 21. Just a memorable BD.

I like these a lot. But im a weird color fiend.

Where do you get the shoes from

The air shoe thing.

Gives marquette vibes

Noooo 😝 no hock tua lol!!!

I think these would look way better with white laces.

It was probably my sixth birthday but my grandpa let me pick out the megatron T. rex beast wars transformers toy. He let me open it a week before my birthday and play with it but he meticulously put it back in the box so that I could open it again on my actual birthday

These for men too ?

How much

marquette jordan 1's

These look like WNBA Chicago sky . Maybe another inspo

Gonna pass but the Women's release of the AJ1 Latte is my next purchase.

Did you marry Pam from the office??, you lucky dog, I want these sneakers but I just have so many UNC 1s I know I’d never wear them, love the mats tho

21st birthday 😀
