The Air Jordan 1 (I) Retro White / Black - Red were released on November 22, 2003. They are 1 of 3 Air Jordan 1's (I) that were released in patent leather versions. The upper consists mostly of red patent leather, with white inserts and black accents, including the Nike swoosh and laces, which are a nice touch. They are really flashy, and are definite head turners. They are extremely difficult to find in dead stock condition.
