I knew it would be nearly impossible to acquire the Nike Air Jordan 1 '85 Hi's in the highly-coveted "Neutral Grey" colourway 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 artificially aged to look like they really came from 1984.
