1985 AIR JORDAN 1 “BRED” GIVEAWAY SWEEPSTAKES

OFFICIAL RULES AND TERMS & CONDITIONS

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED BY LAW.

By entering the Graded Shoes Company 1985 Air Jordan 1 “Bred” Giveaway Sweepstakes (the “Sweepstakes”), each entrant agrees to be bound by these Official Rules and Terms & Conditions (“Official Rules”) and by the decisions of Graded Shoes, LLC (“Graded Shoes Company,” “GSC,” or “Sponsor”), which shall be final and binding in all matters relating to the Sweepstakes, subject to applicable law.

SPONSOR

The Sweepstakes is sponsored by:

Graded Shoes, LLC
d/b/a Graded Shoes Company
GradedShoes.com

The Sweepstakes is not sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with Nike, Inc., Jordan Brand, Got Sole, Meta, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X, YouTube, or any other third party unless expressly stated otherwise in writing.

References to “Air Jordan,” “Jordan,” “Nike,” “Bred,” or other third-party trademarks are used solely for purposes of identifying and describing the prize.

ELIGIBILITY

The Sweepstakes is open only to natural persons who:

are legal residents of the fifty (50) United States or District of Columbia;
are at least eighteen (18) years of age or the age of majority in their state of residence, whichever is greater, at the time of entry; and
otherwise comply with these Official Rules.

Employees, officers, directors, members, managers, owners, contractors, graders, agents, representatives, and immediate family members of Graded Shoes Company, as well as persons residing in the same household as any such person, are not eligible.

“Immediate family member” includes a spouse, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, stepparent, stepchild, stepsibling, and the spouse of any such individual.

Sponsor reserves the right to require proof of age, identity, residency, and eligibility before awarding the prize.

The Sweepstakes is void wherever prohibited or restricted by applicable federal, state, or local law.

SWEEPSTAKES PERIOD

The Sweepstakes begins at 12:01am Central Time on September 3, 2026 and ends at 11:59pm Central Time on October 20, 2026 (the “Sweepstakes Period”).

Sponsor’s computer systems shall be the official timekeeping devices for the Sweepstakes.

All entries must be received during the Sweepstakes Period except for qualifying automatic entries expressly described below.

GSC may publicly announce its goal of reaching its first 1,000 Pre-Orders in connection with the promotion; however, failure to reach that goal will not cancel the Sweepstakes or eliminate Sponsor’s obligation to select a winner and award the prize in accordance with these Official Rules.

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY

NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN.

There are two methods of entry;

Free Online Entry

During the Sweepstakes Period, visit:

GradedShoes.com/bredgiveaway

and complete the official Sweepstakes entry form.

The entrant must provide all information requested on the entry form, which may include name, email address, telephone number, state of residence, date of birth or confirmation of age, and acceptance of these Official Rules.

A valid completed free entry shall receive one (1) entry into the Sweepstakes.

No purchase is required.

First 1,000 GSC Pre-Order Customers

An eligible person who purchases one of GSC’s first 1,000 qualifying Pre-Orders during the applicable promotional period will automatically receive ten (10) entries into the Sweepstakes, subject to these Official Rules.

No additional Sweepstakes entries are awarded because of the purchase price, number of products purchased, amount spent, or value of any transaction.

A qualifying purchaser may also complete the free Sweepstakes form; however, entries from the two methods do not stack.

Maximum Entries

The maximum number of Sweepstakes entries permitted for any individual is one hundred (100), regardless of method of entry or number of GSC products or Pre-Orders purchased.

A purchase therefore does not provide greater odds of winning than the free method of entry.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Only entries submitted in accordance with these Official Rules will be eligible.

Each entrant may participate only in their own name.

The use of multiple names, identities, email addresses, accounts, automated systems, bots, macros, scripts, artificial intelligence agents, third-party entry services, or other methods intended to circumvent the entry limitation is prohibited.

Sponsor may disqualify entries that it reasonably determines to be:

fraudulent;
automated;
duplicated;
falsified;
incomplete;
submitted using false information;
generated through manipulation of the Sweepstakes system; or
otherwise inconsistent with these Official Rules.

Sponsor reserves the right to request reasonable documentation to verify an entrant’s identity.

Entries may not be transferred, assigned, purchased, sold, traded, auctioned, or otherwise conveyed.

THE PRIZE

One (1) verified winner will receive:

One (1) pair of original 1985 Air Jordan 1 “Bred” sneakers, specifically the pair displayed and identified by Graded Shoes Company in connection with this Sweepstakes.

Prize details:

Model: 1985 Air Jordan 1
Colorway: Black/Red commonly known as “Bred”
Size: 12
GSC Grade, if applicable: W25
GSC Certification/Serial Number, if applicable: #0000002
Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”): $6,500

The actual prize awarded will be the specific pair depicted or identified in GSC’s official promotional materials unless substitution becomes necessary as permitted below.

VINTAGE FOOTWEAR DISCLOSURE

Entrants acknowledge that the prize is approximately four decades old and is a collectible vintage item.

Vintage footwear may experience deterioration associated with age, including but not limited to:

sole separation;
adhesive degradation;
cracking;
oxidation;
discoloration;
hardening or deterioration of foam, rubber, leather, textiles, or other materials;
loss of structural integrity; and
other age-related deterioration.

THE PRIZE IS AWARDED AS A COLLECTIBLE ITEM. GSC MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT THE PRIZE IS SAFE OR SUITABLE FOR WEAR.

The winner assumes all risks associated with any decision to remove, handle, display, wear, modify, resell, transport, or otherwise use the prize after delivery.

PRIZE CONDITION AND WARRANTIES

Except for any express written GSC authentication or grading representation accompanying the prize, the prize is awarded “AS IS,” “WHERE IS,” AND WITH ALL FAULTS, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Sponsor disclaims all warranties not expressly stated in writing, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or future value.

No representation is made regarding:

future collectible value;
investment performance;
resale price;
marketplace acceptance;
future condition;
wearability; or
appreciation or depreciation.

A grade assigned by GSC, if applicable, represents GSC’s professional assessment pursuant to its grading standards at the time the item was graded and is not a guarantee of future condition or market value.

RANDOM WINNER SELECTION

The potential winner will be selected through a random drawing from all eligible entries received.

The drawing will be conducted using a randomized selection process chosen by Sponsor and designed to provide each eligible entry with an equal opportunity for selection.

GSC intends to conduct and record the drawing live on camera Got Sole Miami following the close of the Sweepstakes Period, subject to event availability, permission, logistics, safety, and circumstances beyond Sponsor’s reasonable control.

The winner does not need to be physically present at the drawing to win.

If GSC is unable to conduct the drawing at a Got Sole event by October 24, 2026, Sponsor will conduct the drawing at another publicly announced location or through a live online broadcast.

The prize will be awarded regardless of whether a suitable Got Sole event occurs.

Got Sole does not determine the winner and is not responsible for administering the Sweepstakes unless separately stated in writing.

ODDS OF WINNING

The odds of winning depend upon the total number of eligible entries received.

Each valid Sweepstakes entry has an equal chance of selection.

Because each eligible person may receive a maximum of ten (10) entries regardless of whether entry occurs through the free method or qualifying Pre-Order method, purchasing a GSC product does not improve an entrant’s maximum odds of winning.

WINNER NOTIFICATION

The potential winner will be contacted using the email address, telephone number, or other contact information associated with the winning entry.

Sponsor may publicly announce the potential winner during or immediately following the live drawing, subject to verification.

Selection as the potential winner does not constitute final confirmation of eligibility.

The potential winner must respond to Sponsor within seventy-two (72) hours after the first attempted notification unless Sponsor provides additional time in writing.

Sponsor may require the potential winner to complete and return:

an Affidavit or Declaration of Eligibility;
a Liability and Publicity Release;
a completed IRS Form W-9 or other legally required tax documentation;
proof of identity, age, and residency; and
any other documentation reasonably necessary to verify eligibility and lawfully transfer the prize.

If the potential winner:

cannot be contacted;
fails to respond within the required period;
is determined to be ineligible;
refuses the prize;
fails to provide required documentation;
violates these Official Rules; or
is otherwise unable to legally accept the prize,

the potential winner may be disqualified and an alternate potential winner may be selected through another random drawing.

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT AND MEDIA RELEASE

Except where prohibited by law, acceptance of the prize constitutes permission for Sponsor and its authorized representatives to use the winner’s:

first and last name;
city and state;
photograph;
image;
likeness;
voice;
statements;
video;
social media handle; and
footage relating to the drawing or prize presentation

for advertising, publicity, documentary, promotional, social media, and other lawful commercial purposes relating to GSC and the Sweepstakes, without additional compensation.

Sponsor may request that the winner participate in an on-camera prize presentation.

Participation in a promotional appearance will not require the winner to purchase anything or pay Sponsor any fee.

Sponsor will not require the winner to travel at the winner’s expense as a condition of receiving the prize unless separately agreed to by the winner in writing.

PRIZE DELIVERY

Sponsor will arrange reasonable delivery of the prize to the verified winner at an address within the United States.

Unless otherwise disclosed before acceptance of the prize, the winner will pay ordinary shipping costs associated with initial delivery of the prize.

The winner is responsible for ensuring that Sponsor receives accurate delivery information.

Sponsor is not responsible for delays resulting from incorrect information provided by the winner, refusal of delivery, or circumstances beyond Sponsor’s reasonable control.

Risk of loss will transfer as permitted by applicable law upon confirmed delivery to the winner or the winner’s authorized recipient.

TAXES

The winner is solely responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes and other governmental obligations associated with receipt or ownership of the prize.

The fair market value of the prize may constitute taxable income to the winner.

Sponsor may issue any tax form required by applicable law and may require the winner to provide a valid taxpayer identification number and completed tax documentation before delivery of the prize.

Sponsor does not provide tax advice.

NO CASH EQUIVALENT OR TRANSFER

The prize may not be exchanged for cash at the winner’s request.

Before delivery, the prize may not be assigned or transferred to another individual without Sponsor’s written approval.

Sponsor reserves the right, where legally permissible and only if the advertised prize becomes unavailable for reasons outside Sponsor’s reasonable control, to substitute a prize of equal or greater value.

Sponsor will not substitute the prize merely because its market value increases or decreases after the Sweepstakes begins.

RELEASE OF LIABILITY

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each entrant agrees to release and hold harmless Sponsor and its members, managers, officers, employees, agents, contractors, affiliates, advertising partners, service providers, and representatives from claims, damages, liabilities, losses, or causes of action arising out of or relating to:

participation in the Sweepstakes;
acceptance, possession, transportation, display, use, misuse, sale, or attempted use of the prize;
technical failures affecting an entry;
unauthorized human intervention in the Sweepstakes;
errors in administration or processing;
printing, typographical, technical, network, electronic, or human errors; or
participation in any prize-related publicity or event.

Nothing in these Official Rules is intended to waive any right that cannot legally be waived.

TECHNICAL FAILURES

Sponsor is not responsible for entries that are lost, late, incomplete, corrupted, misdirected, delayed, inaccessible, or not properly transmitted because of technical failures beyond Sponsor’s reasonable control.

This includes failures involving:

internet connections;
servers;
website hosting;
email systems;
mobile networks;
browsers;
devices;
payment processors;
database systems; or
third-party platforms.

If Sponsor identifies a technical issue affecting entry fairness, Sponsor may take reasonable corrective action designed to preserve the integrity of the Sweepstakes.

TAMPERING AND FRAUD

Any attempt to deliberately damage GradedShoes.com, manipulate the entry process, interfere with the random drawing, obtain entries fraudulently, impersonate another person, or otherwise undermine the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes may result in disqualification.

Sponsor reserves all rights and remedies available under applicable law against persons engaged in fraudulent or malicious conduct.

MODIFICATION, SUSPENSION, OR TERMINATION

Sponsor may suspend, modify, or terminate the Sweepstakes if fraud, technical failure, governmental action, natural disaster, event cancellation, security incident, force majeure, or another circumstance beyond Sponsor’s reasonable control materially impairs the integrity or lawful operation of the Sweepstakes.

Sponsor shall not modify the Sweepstakes merely to avoid awarding the advertised prize or because participation, sales, or Pre-Orders are lower than anticipated.

If termination becomes legally necessary after eligible entries have been received, Sponsor will, where legally permissible, attempt to award the prize through a random drawing from eligible entries received before termination.

PRIVACY

Personal information collected in connection with the Sweepstakes will be used to administer the Sweepstakes, verify eligibility, contact the winner, prevent fraud, comply with legal requirements, and otherwise as described in GSC’s applicable Privacy Policy.

Consent to receive promotional emails, SMS messages, or other marketing communications must not be required as a condition of entering or winning.

Where GSC offers entrants the opportunity to receive marketing communications, such consent should be obtained separately and voluntarily.

SOCIAL MEDIA DISCLAIMER

The Sweepstakes may be advertised through Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, X, or other social media platforms.

The Sweepstakes is not sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with those platforms.

By participating, entrants release applicable social media platforms from responsibility for administration of the Sweepstakes to the extent permitted by law.

Questions, comments, or complaints regarding the Sweepstakes should be directed to Graded Shoes Company rather than any social media platform.

NIKE / JORDAN BRAND DISCLAIMER

Nike, Inc. and Jordan Brand are not sponsors of and are not affiliated with this Sweepstakes.

No reference to Nike, Jordan Brand, Air Jordan, or related trademarks should be interpreted as sponsorship, approval, endorsement, partnership, or affiliation.

The trademarks and product names belong to their respective owners.

GOT SOLE DISCLAIMER

Got Sole is not a sponsor or administrator of the Sweepstakes and has no responsibility for selecting or verifying the winner unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing.

GSC’s intention to conduct the drawing at a Got Sole event does not imply endorsement, sponsorship, partnership, or responsibility by Got Sole.

If Got Sole does not authorize the drawing or recording at an event, Sponsor may conduct the drawing at another location consistent with these Official Rules.

DISPUTES AND GOVERNING LAW

Except where prohibited by applicable law, these Official Rules and the Sweepstakes shall be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Any dispute relating to the Sweepstakes shall be resolved individually and not as part of a purported class, consolidated, representative, or collective action, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Any judicial proceeding arising from the Sweepstakes shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction located in Minnesota, except where applicable law provides the entrant with a non-waivable right to another venue.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, recovery shall be limited to actual out-of-pocket damages, and entrants waive claims for punitive, exemplary, special, consequential, or indirect damages relating to participation in the Sweepstakes.

SEVERABILITY

If any portion of these Official Rules is determined to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law or severed as necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

NO WAIVER

Sponsor’s failure to enforce any provision of these Official Rules on one occasion does not constitute a waiver of that provision or Sponsor’s right to enforce it on another occasion.

WINNER LIST

After the winner has been verified, Sponsor may publish the winner’s name and state of residence on GradedShoes.com and/or GSC’s official social media accounts.

Where required by law, individuals may request the name of the verified winner by contacting:
