Eighty-one euros for an Air Jordan 1 Low with a mirror-gold Swoosh. That’s where the “White / Metallic Gold” (CZ4776-100) starts on Solezilla.com today, and for a pair with this much going for it, that’s a number worth a closer look. With one important footnote, which I’ll get to.
Why this colourway keeps turning up on my lists: it’s white enough to wear every day, but it has that one element that stops it from being just another white Low. The upper is fully white, in leather with a clear tumbled grain. The gold sits in a few chosen spots: the mirrored Swoosh, the heel overlay, the Wings logo on the heel and the small label on top of the tongue. Proper mirror gold, not a flat gold tone. No other colour anywhere, the sole is white too.
The downside of a metallic Swoosh, if you’ve ever owned a pair with mirrored hits, is that scuffs show faster than on leather. Not a reason to pass on it for me, but a reason not to wear it through a downpour.
The 80.95 comes with a size caveat
Here’s the footnote. We track eight listings in euros from six shops. The lowest, 80.95 euros, is a from-price on a resale marketplace, where the price changes per size. Your size might well come out higher. The next one up is another resale listing at 90 euros. After that the field jumps: Collect District at 129, Side Kicks at 132.79, Sneakeregeer at 149.50, and two more resale listings at 172.95 and 175. So it’s a wide spread for one and the same shoe, and the gap between the bottom two and the rest is the reason to check sizes before anything else.
Outside the euro it’s thin. There’s one US listing, at $120, and nothing in pounds at all. UK buyers looking at the euro listings should add shipping and import costs before comparing.
Demand hasn’t gone anywhere. The Hypescore stands at 57, in the RADIATING phase: running at full power, with plenty of Grail or Bail votes and search interest behind it. This isn’t dead stock waiting for a clearance rack, which is exactly why a sub-90 listing in your size doesn’t tend to hang around.
One important detail for the men reading along: this is a women’s model. Sizing runs in women’s sizes, so check whether your size falls within the range before you order.
