Since its debut in 2020, the Air Jordan 1 High 85 has been an OG sneakerheads dream. The most accurate Air Jordan 1 Retro since its original release, this limited edition sports specs true to its 1985 counterpart. Coming in mostly clean OG-style colorways, Jordan Brand opts to take a classic back out of the vault for Spring 2023.
Coming in black and summit white, this colorway was a part of the original Air Jordan 1 lineup. It was retroed for the first time in 2008, as a part of the Air Jordan 22/1 Collezione “Countdown” Pack. They were also one of the first Air Jordan 1’s retroed in high-top form, long before the fad we see today. It was last seen in 2014 when it was re-released as an Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG, complete with “Nike Air” branding.
Now, the classic “Panda” like colorway is coming to the Air Jordan 1 High 85. Staying true to the OG, the Air Jordan 1 High 85 “Black White” edition features an all-leather upper. Black overlays are paired with white underlays. Classic shape, “Nike Air” branding on the tongue tag and insoles, and a nylon tongue complete the look.
The Air Jordan 1 High 85 Black White is set to release on February 15th, 2023. It will drop at Nike as well as select Jordan Brand retailers worldwide, in-store and online. Coming in men’s sizes, retail is set at $200.
