![Diadora MI Basket Used [White]](/images/diadoramibasketusedstock.jpg)

I knew it would be nearly impossible to acquire the Nike Air Jordan 1 '85 
Hi's from a retailer instead of a reseller who would mark it up for 100% over 
retail, so I ordered a pair of these in consolation. The year before Michael 
Jordan got his Nike contract, when he was still wearing Converse Pro Leathers 
and Adidas Forum Hi's, Diadora sponsored the Milan basketball team in 1984, 
and they've released these as a nod to that heritage. The materials on these 
shoes feel far nicer than anything I've felt on any shoe put out by 
Nike/Jordan (brand) in the last decade, and they've been artifically aged to 
look like they really came from 1984.
