Nike Air Jordan 1 AJKO – Vintage

Way back in 1985, when the original Michael Jordan signature model was first introduced, it was produced in the well-known leather Air Jordan 1 version that has been Retro’d in all sorts of colorways over the years. What many sneakerheads don’t know is that at the time, the shoe was also released in a variant version known as the AJKO. The AJKO versions featured a somewhat simplified design with a canvas upper and a slightly higher cut. We showed you a few pairs as part of the incredible vintage Nike collection from a few weeks back, and now a pair of the seldom-seen classics have just hit eBay.The size 9 red/white/black Air Jordan 1 AJKO’s are used and obviously not in mint condition, but this is the type of thing that will pop up on eBay maybe only once every couple of years if you’re lucky. If you are prepared to dig deep for these, you will be getting an extremely scarce Air Jordan relic that will be sure to breed jealousy from even some of the world’s most accomplished collector’s. Check out some more pics after the jump, and you can get in on the auction for these forgotten jewels of the Air Jordan legacy now from bay_areaguy on eBay.Rea close

Air Jordan 1 AJKO â€" Vintage 1985

Why the Jordan brand will not retro these is beyond me. The Nike Air Jordan 1 AJKO was made in the classic BRED colorway but instead of using smooth leather this edition was crafted out of canvas. The simple fact that we get to look at these is a blessing as many collectors would never give these up. Finding a deadstock pair is impossible, yes there is literally a 0% chance, but the batter look of the holy grail sneaker adds to its lure. Released in 1985 and not seen since, we can only hope for a quick strike of these soon, as a general release would be blasphemous.Via:  Sneaker News close

Air Jordan 1 AJKO Retro – Summer

The AJKO, or Air Jordan 1 Knock Out, is a grail to many a sneakerheads.  Not only for its rarity, but for its unconventional use of textile- something never really seen on Jordans until some recent retroes.  For those who just aren’t down with copping a crumbling and nearly deteriorated OG pair to add their collection and never be able to rock on their feet, JB has a solution in the near future.  If this article was a maestro, queue in the intro music and bring out the main event – the Air Jordan AJKO Retro.  Coming out in two colorways – one similar to one of the OG releases, and a white/red – expect these to drop sometime next summer for about $125.  via TheShoeGame.Read the rest of Air Jordan 1 AJKO Retro – Summer 2010© Sneaker News, 2009. |Permalink |No comment |Add todel.icio.us close
