Description

These Vintage Original Air Jordan 1s are the iconic Chicago colorway in black, red, and white, their official color code is 4280. Produced at the BY factory between September and November of 1985, this pair retains exceptional historical significance and includes its original box and the original Air Jordan hang tag—featuring Michael Jordan executing the Jumpman pose on the front, with detailed shoe specifications printed inside. The shoes come with their original black laces. Designed by Peter Moore, the Air Jordan 1 is widely regarded as the most iconic basketball sneaker ever created, and an original 1985 Chicago pair stands as one of the most celebrated pieces in the entire history of sneaker culture.

Accompanied by original box and hang tag.

Condition report

Excellent condition. Minor creasing and marks found on both pairs to the toe box, midsole, heel, sole, and white laces. Peeling collars and glue stains found by soles of both pairs consistent with age.

High-value collectors require privacy. Public provenance requires transparency. Optropic's identity layer holds both — the personal data lives in an encrypted vault accessible only to authorized Joopiter operators; the public chain shows a verifiable pseudonymous ownership history.

Collectors who choose to be publicly attributed appear by name on the chain. Those who choose privacy appear as COLL-XXXX-XXXX. Both modes carry the same cryptographic provenance guarantees.

Verification capture scheduled

On lot intake · Joopiter Marketplace operations

This lot has been authenticated by Joopiter's expert team. The Optropic verification layer activates at lot intake — a controlled-illumination capture binds the lot's optical anchor points to its provenance certificate. From that moment forward, any buyer, consignor, or downstream owner can confirm the lot's identity against the registered anchor set using only a smartphone.

Capture workflow

  1. 01Joopiter authenticates — expert determination of materiality, attribution, and provenance.
  2. 02Optropic captures — controlled-illumination multi-angle anchor capture at intake.
  3. 03Anchor binds to certificate — cryptographic pairing of product anchor with COA anchor.
  4. 04Lifetime re-verification — every owner, every resale, browser-only.

Every lot ships with a Certificate of Provenance issued by Joopiter's marketplace team. The certificate documents the item's authentication and ownership history. The Optropic verification layer binds the certificate's signature to the lot's physical anchor points — neither can move without the other.

What anchor-binding means

If this certificate is detached from its lot — sold separately, attached to a different item, or copied — verification fails. The bind is cryptographic; re-printing a certificate cannot reproduce the anchor signature.
