How $20,000 1985 Chicago Air Jordan 1s are professionally resoled
The Cobblers is a shoe-repair shop in Miami. The shoe it's working on today is a rare pair of 1985 Chicago Air Jordan 1s that a client brought in to be resoled. The shoe is significant because of its rarity, even in an old condition. Michael Jordan's original 1985 Chicago Air Jordan 1s sold at auction in 2020 for $560,000. On the market, a good pair can cost anywhere from $20,000 to $30,000. Because the client wanted to keep the originality of the shoes, they will be resoled using a donor sole. The team will go through the process of how they do this professionally to give the soles a seamless finish.
