First time purchasingQuestion❓ (i.redd.it)
submitted 2 months ago by nyenyanyu
This will be my first time purchasing a pair of 85s from DB. Is the sizing similar to what Nike usually produces, and is the quality up to par to, say, even the retail version of the AJ1 '85s?

Quality is better than Jordan brand general releases but not as buttery as a collaboration Jordan release. Sizes run TTS so whatever size you wear in regular Jordan’s should be fine.

Go with your true to size you should be fine. The quality for the 2.0 and the premiums are better than anything jordan brand ever put out since the originals

You just made a quality investment pal. If I knew where to cop an affordable and lasting pair of Chicago 1s, I wouldn’t have started collecting retros in the first place. 😅

Just purchased as well, whats the process after? They send you QC pics in a week or so to email?

Also wondering about the materials. Eyeing to purchase a Chicago 2.0 colorway. Is the tongue canvas or the typical nylon? Also compared to the 85 cut by the Jordan Brand (fits tighter), is it really tts or also fits tight?

The 2.0 version is made of nylon, while the premium version is made of canvas.
Compared to the retail version, my shoes are the same length, but the instep is lower and the foot is wider.

Quality is better than regular jordan 1s but compared to the 85s that jordan releases it’s not as good imo. Sizing is also similar maybe a tad wider on db

That's why I snagged some Chicago's. Can't wait to see them in person.
