Happy birthday to me. We all have our bowties on. Some seek out their 85’ OG Jordans, their lobster dunks, their Pokémon, Thanos had his infinity stones. For the last few years these have been my infinity stones. You won’t find the Diors here or the Travis’, these are the ones that matter. This is all of them. Like balance restored across the universe I can now chill on my ranch. Just remember BIG CHECKS when you spell the man’s name.

These will all continue to be reviewed and covered, with all details to follow. Big shout out to the Big Swoosh Collective @aussie.damo @luv_4_kicks @theswooshjunkie @diversesole.sb, we’ve been plotting on the world’s supply of big checks in the shadows. And the extended fam @lovinglows @dirty_dante @casval_reds, and all enthusiasts and story tellers tagged. It’s been a pleasure. 🫡 

Quiz time: the OG big check lows are celebrated for their larger swoosh and characterized for having 8 eyelets. While all 24 pairs have larger swooshes, there are actually two pairs with only 7, and one with only SIX eyelets! Which ones are they?

Probably two of the nicest Jordan lows attached to a special event. This year’s CNY release harkened back to a time when the big swoosh was part of special event Jordan low releases on the regular, and it was nice to see. 

Which CNY low is your favorite? by @bigchecksonly

HEAT CHECK! I’ll admit as each of these came out I was the first to find something to nitpick about. But bringing these all out at once and lining them up in order of release, I saw the vision. 

A subtle mix of collabs mixed with OG flavors and nods to other collabs with a spectrum of wide to limited/narrow releases. 👏 @jordanclassic 

Excited to see how this line continues to evolve. Do you have a favorite in the pack so far? by @bigchecksonly

❌ BRED V BANNED ❌

The Jordan 1 Bred/Banned low is back and these might be better and more anticipated than the Chi Jordan lows (🫣). The material is nicer. That was gonna be a given, given the quality of the 2015’s, but the red is deeper, darker and richer as well despite both being listed as varsity red. The preaged/sail sole versus clean white banned sole was expected. I wish the ❌ was a bit more prominent on the heal, but the X’s and date stamp on the liners are really nice touches.

You can also see how much larger the swoosh is on the 2015 here, for those still in denial. 👍

Which “Banned” you rocking with? 

2015 Jordan 1 Low 705329-001 and 2026 Banned Jordan 1 Low IW6276-001

Appreciation post. Air Jordan 1 Low Ice Blue Vachetta, premium OG 905136-402. You never see these in this great of condition. Their material is notorious for fading with wear and exposure to the elements. Quintessential work drip. by @bigchecksonly

Banner year for the Jordan 1 low!

As we sit down to give thanks and express gratitude in this little corner of the shoeniverse we celebrate appreciation for the love that the Jordan 1 low got this year. We saw a reworked 85 low spec in the Royal color way. We finally saw part 2 of the Zion Voodoo Jordan low in a now retired shape/model. We were blessed with another Frag/Trav collaboration, and most importantly we saw the return of the big swoosh in the most coveted color way, with a promise of many more to come. Not sure what else we could have asked for. 

Big shout out to @mr_unloved1s who has been really holding it down on a proper chronicle of all the movements across Jordan 1 lows this year. Definitely give that a read. And if you haven’t picked up the Chi low go get yourself a pair, we need to show Jordan brand we won’t be hitting outlets this time around. Have a great Thanksgiving! by @bigchecksonly

2 days left. How we feeling? You going for these/those? 

Will you double up on site or wait and see if these hit below retail again? 

What’s your strategy and approach this time around? 

Thank you to wifey @eda_setzer for taking these pictures and putting up with my hoarding.

Oh you didn’t think I was going to sit this one out did you?

705329-600. The greatest Jordan low of all time. While we excitedly await the arrival of the first retro we pay homage to one that everyone clamors for after no one wanted them. The basis for everyone going sicko mode over Jordan 1 lows. An iteration that came about in a workstream dedicated to paying homage to the original Jordan 1 lows. I look forward to a time when we review these in retrospect the same way we compare all the Chicago Jordan 1 highs, each with details reminiscent of that time and place in sneaker culture. Long live the Jordan 1 low OG Chicago. 

Oh you didn’t think those shoe boxes were empty did you? 😂

Its Trainer Tuesday!! and I’m just trying to be like @sneakerpreservationsociety who has been posting some mean samples, iterations and previously unseens.

I was at the storage unit prepping the collection for online posting and noticed these in the same vicinity begging for a photo shoot. So what you end up with are the two Tecmo Bo Air Trainer 2 lows that came out in away and home Raider colors, and two unreleased Kansas City Royals colorways with a distinct 16 bit Bo on the tongue. These are rumored to be 1:1s or at most 1:3’s but that doesn’t matter. Ultimately Nike went with the Broken Bats iteration on the Air Trainer sc High for Royals colors, with a different Tecmo Bo, but I’m partial to the Trainer 2’s. Shout out to @forsy23 @mrbiz_bee22 and @onebowermandr for holding it down on all things Bo. by @bigchecksonly

Peace everyone! If you can’t tell by the photos life has been lifing lately and I just haven’t had time to keep up on all things big checks. Thanks to everyone who has kept me copied in.

Finally cracked these bad boys open. They are a beautiful shoe, but I’m going to have to be naggy about the quality. If you have the highs the difference is palpable and frankly I had wrongfully assumed a nice soft leather low. Still a dope shoe and grateful for the big(ger) swoosh to be back. I go back and forth on the forthcoming Chi with every new flick, but still looking forward to them. Got some time coming up, and planning to put 3 digits worth of Big Swooshers on eBay. Stay tuned! by @bigchecksonly

Finally got my @quai54wsc lemon pepper lows in. That’s what we’re calling them now. These definitely grow on you, in hand. Big thank you to my overseas compadre @oblikick for the relay when international brand relations be hating. 

Also I just invented mixing food porn with shoe porn, that’s MY thing now. The big swoosh is having a pretty good year with a lot left in the tank. Its @nigelsylvester > Chicagos > @fragmentdesign_official x @travisscott for me but to each their own. Seriously, shoe x food porn. Watch out! 🫡 taken in Finger Licken by @bigchecksonly
