Review: Air Jordan 1 Low “Chinese New Year” | Jakarta, Indonesia

Assalamualaikum, May peace upon us, Om Swastiastu, Shalom, Namo Buddhaya.
Today we will have a review.
Yes, we will do a review because I have worn the shoes once.
Oh, you have.
I couldn’t help it.
As you can see, this is Air Jord-one…
AIr Jord-one
[Dipsky laughter]
Air Jordan 1 Low OG CNY.
Look at this, there’s dirt.
Yes, this is too good.
This is Air Jordan 1 Low Chinese New Year.
You can tell by the name that it was released at Chinese New Year 2020.
Yes. An Asia-only release.
Yes. Asia.
There are actually 2 Asian releases this year.
Yes, both Asian.
Air Jordan Low and an Airmax released at local retailer.
I copped this shoe because it’s great.
But this is not an Indonesian release.
It is serial numbered, limited to 5000 pairs worldwide.
This pair is number 1144.
Yes, the number is at the hangtag.
But you did not bring it today.
Yes, I left it at home.
Or perhaps you pretend that you have it.
I don’t get it
That you don’t have the hangtag.
I do.
I’ll send you the photo.
Tell us about the material.
The toe box

is satin with motives.
I found similar material in Satin Black Toe that has lines.
This one has a different motive.
And with printed image.
Yes. It has Chinese theme image.
The right pair has fireworks and rose. Can’t figure out what it represents.
Rose represents love.
Oh, love.
Red, love, but with thorns.
So thorny love.
And it hurts.
It does hurt.
Let’s get back. And at the side, we have smooth material. Not suede nor tumbled leather.
It’s smooth non-tumbled leather.
Right…
Almost forgot. The side toe of the left pair is rough suede. The right pair has motives similar to the wrapping paper.
This pattern.
Batik.
Not really batik.
Left pair is different with the right.
Chinese batik.
The left pair has similar material with the right pair, only it has a motive. Embossed.
The side panel of the left pair has the fireworks and rose image.
The detail is quite complex.
Because we need to go left to right every time.
So the left pair has fireworks and rose image at the side panel, while the right pair has the Chinese pattern.
So they are alternating.
The left pair’s side panel has the right pair’s toe box image.
And the right pair’s side panel has the left pair’s toe box image.
And the inner side panel of the left pair has the right pair’s side toe’s image.
And the inner side panel of the right pair has the left pair’s side toe’s image.
It’s a complex pair.
They are reversing each other.
I think we should code name it What the Chinese New Year.
It’s a tricky pair.
We will find black Swoosh on the outer side of the left pair and the inner side of the right pair.
Only to find
And to find rose at the Swoosh of the outer side of the left pair.
Correct.
And the right pair, the rose is at the toe box.
The detail…
Now at the rear side.
The detail is crazy.
Wait, wait. Let’s get back to the Swooshes at the inner sides.
The left pair’s inner Swoosh has a colorful pattern.
The right pair’s inner Swoosh has a pretty much similar pattern, but not the same.
With different colors.
Again, the detail is crazy.
Now, let’s go the rear side.
It’s simple. There’s the Wings logo. And again, the left pair is black, the right pair is white.
And if you take a photograph, it’s actually reflective.
Try to take a picture of it,
the black color is reflective.
So black will turn silver, but the white stays white.
The reflective part is not only the rear.
Let me show what I mean.
The side.
If I take a picture,
the inner side of the right pair is reflective.
When exposed to flashlight the black part will turn bright.
So it’s 3M reflective.
But it looks like leather.
Good built.
And the black Swoosh is reflective as well. It will turn bright white.
It’s 3M reflective.
So the pair only have one similar part, the tongue.
Both are pink.
Neon pink.
Even the outsoles are different. One is pink, another is black.
And the lace is different. The left lace is black with a pink tip.
And the right lace is white with a pink tip.
And they didn’t come with extra lace.
You get what you see here. Black and white, nothing else.
I think this is very good because…
Oh, the left insole is pink, what about the right pair?
It’s pink. Wait, no.
Ok. So the left insole is pink,
right is white with a pattern.
Chinese batik.
It’s not Chinese batik.
We just don’t know what it is called.
[Cameraman] It’s a pattern.
Yes, it’s a pattern.
Overall, the shoes are full of motives.
And the reflective parts are something you didn’t anticipate.
As they are not only at the rear side but also at the Swoosh.
And also at the… what do you call this?
Side panel.
Yes, side panels are reflective.
I did not expect to see all these.
That is part is reflective,
this part as well.
I think this is great.
But I feel slight pain on my feet.
Yes, because it’s Air Jordan 1 Low.
No, the tongue is a bit hard.
Yes, I admit it’s hard.
But this is one of my favorites.
And,
one thing. The code name tells that it is an Asian release.
It was released in Chinese New Year 2020.
There is no history to tell behind the shoes. Only a Chinese New Year 2020 release.
It’s telling the Chinese culture.
With the unusual concept.
I read in the Internet many are calling it What The Chinese New Year.
What The CNY.
Why ‘What The’? Because it’s like reversed between pair.
Yes, reversed.
That idea could have inspired it.
Could be. The materials are like swapped between pairs in alternate position.
The inner side of a pair is found at the somewhere else at the other pair, the rear side is in a different color.
This is the only Jordan that has alternate lace. Usually, you get the same lace color. But not with this.
This is good. Price?
Price is…
Not too expensive, right?
Now has gone up.
It’s around USD 500.
USD 500? Wow.
In rupiah is around Rp 7,000,000 to Rp 8,000,000. Depending on size.
Especially at today’s currency rate.
As per today, USD 1 is Rp 16,000.
And I found the material at the rear side is quite unique, like 3M plastic.
I think that
the paddings has textures. Not leather, more into plastic.
A bit hard.
It is.
If you look inside, the cutting is unique. You see.
What?
Oh, right.
It could be for
[Inaudible speech]
There should have been another layer.
Both pair.
I think it’s for reinforcement.
It’s like unfinished part.
Yes, for reinforcement.
This is one unique shoes. Lace is unique.
It was made like this.
It’s worth to cop. Even Air Jordan 9 Chinese New Year is not as good as this one.
The gummy-pink outsole is good.
It’s gum, but pink.
The previous Chinese New Year releases only had very little parts that show Chinese culture.
I also have a Chinese New Year. This one, Melo.
It’s darker.
This one is more cheerful.
It’s a whole different thing that has everything, colors, pattern, motives.
Perhaps only a few will appreciate this pair.
Like you.
I personally like something bright and different.
I’s going to be hard to point out the shoe. There are too many good details.
But
I feel something is not there yet.
So it’s an 8 for me.
It’s a 9,5 for me.
What happen to 0,5?
It hurts a bit.
Air Jordan 1 hurts a bit. Especially at the tongue.
The tongue is hard.
Comes back to personal preference.
For me it is an 8, because I found the shoe is cheerful.
But out of nowhere the other pair has black rear.
It could have been better.
But they made it alternate. Black and white. The Wings logo are also different, black and white.
Yes.
I mean the overall shoe is cheerful. But then it’s like dark zone at one part.
[Laugter]
It’s contrasting.
[Cameraman] Yin and Yang.
Yin and Yang.
That’s why I give 9,5. It’s love on first sight.
Fear not, for the satin is now strong.
The pattern makes it not too visible.
So it’s good.
You may wear it daily.
But on a second thought,
Would you go to work in these?
No, not these. These are for weekends.
You may like it or dislike it.
Very few who might actually love it.
Many will prefer neutral color.
We’ll see.
Comment your thoughts after seeing the detail shots.
