Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Patina Release Date: March 25th, 2021 Color: Black/Light Army/Sail/Fresh Mint Mens: 170 Style Code: DC9857-200 Images: END. That’s it from us here at Sneaker Flippers for this article, we hope you enjoyed it and maybe even learned a thing or two. Sometimes it’s not always about profit, but a love for sneakers that creates the hype and demand for a pair. Take the Adidas Ultraboost for example, a sneaker that you can still get for retail but is absolutely loved by the sneaker community. This is why reselling the Jordan 1 Patina’s will probably only net you a very small profit, if at all.īut that doesn’t mean that the sneakers aren’t loved. Since there are so many pairs on the market, it’s tough to create a healthy profit. That’s quite a high number for a generally “regular” Jordan 1 and gives some insight into the resell numbers. To date, over 5,300 pairs of the Jordan 1 Patina have been resold on StockX. While we don’t know exactly how many pairs of the Jordan 1 Patina were actually originally released by Nike and Jordan, we do know how many pairs have been sold on StockX alone. If there are 100,000 pairs released, a sneaker selling for double the retail price is absolutely crazy. The story is that those statistics don’t tell us how many pairs are on the market. When people look for how hyped or popular a sneaker is, they usually look at the average resell price and compare that to the retail price. The lack of bright colors and “exciting” design allows the pair to be an everyday staple that has been appreciated in the sneaker community. Similar to the Jordan 1 shadow, the Jordan 1 Patina can go with almost any outfit. The Nike Air logo is also printed on the tongue of the Jordan 1 Patina in a mint green, which adds a small pop of color to an otherwise muted sneaker. When the sun hits them, they almost reflect and create a statement piece. What’s different about the Patina is the copper finish overlays that create an interesting visual appearance, as you can see from the photo above. The Jordan 1 is quite a sturdy sneaker and not one that you need to be careful with. The leather that is used on Air Jordans is definitely a high-quality material that is built to last. Like most Jordan 1’s, the Patina contains a black leather upper. The sneaker, as you can see, contains more color than the Jordan 1 Shadow and uses some different materials. This is a great segway into our main event, which you’ll notice has a slightly higher retail price but a much lower resell… The Air Jordan 1 ‘Patina’Īnd here we have the Air Jordan 1 Patina. If these are a pair that you would like to get your hands on, you’ll definitely have to pay a good amount. You’ll notice they have the old Jordan 1 retail price of $160, but average over $500 on the resell market. The colors are quite similar to the Patina but are restricted to just black and gray. The Air Jordan shadow is one of the most popular colorways of the Jordan 1, primarily due to its simplicity and ability to make any outfit. Dropping in April of 2018, they were released in mens and gradeschool sizes. The shoe features a black and grey leather upper with original “Nike Air” branding on the tongue tag and insoles, along with a white midsole and black outsole. This very rare OG colorway has now hit shelves only three times, making these a must-own for any AJ1 collector.

While unquestionably informed by the timeless “Shadow” colorway, the forthcoming take delivers a fresh spin to a decades-old style. First teased via unofficial images in late December 2020, the Air Jordan 1 “Patina” begins its rollout tomorrow, March 25th.
