This is the first retro ever for the Air Jordan 1 KO. These were released back in 1985. This was a subset to the Original Air Jordan 1 with a canvas treatment through out the shoe. The retro Features the OG White, Red, and Black colorway on a canvas and leather upper like the original. A first for the Brand Jordan, the AJKO features the vintage treatment with a slightly yellowed upper, a scuffed midsole, and a scuffed outsole. The AJKO retro is set to release later this Summer. In my opinion if JB plans to keep the vintage detail on the shoe it will be a terrible idea to make this shoe a general release. With the market for retros growing smaller and smaller each year the main buyers being between the ages of 20-late 30's maybe are only going to know what this shoe was. The true sneaker heads who was around when MJ was playing with Chicago and actually wanted the shoes because of how MJ played the game will want the AJKO. No one is going to want to pay for a shoe that looks like someone played in them 25 years ago. Unless you are part of that select group like I am that knows what the shoe represents.
