The Premium Air Jordan 1 Wings Collection Retails for Nearly $1,000

Jordan Brand is by no means a luxury fashion label. However, we have seen the brand charge consumers prices adjacent to brands like Louis Vuitton. Aside from their collaborations with Dior, inline releases like the Pinnacle series retail at $400, a significant price increase from the lower $200 range that most Jordans retail for. However, Spring 2024 featured four Air Jordan 1s that were released as part of Jordan Brand’s Wings Collection—two Air Jordan 1 High 85s and two Air Jordan 1 Low 85s.

The original pricing for the high top was $1500 and $1300 for the lows; Jordan Brand made a drastic move by drastically slashing the prices down to $975 and $875, respectively. The massive upcharge is due to ultra-premium materials, special packaging, and more. The Air Jordan Wings Collection celebrates Jordan Brand's legendary influence in sports, culture, and fashion, spanning from the debut of the Nike Air Jordan 1 in 1985 to today. This assortment honors the enduring legacy crafted to be cherished by generations to come.

The Air Jordan 1 High 85 Wings Phantom Wolf Grey, Air Jordan 1 Low 85 Wings Summit White Wolf Grey, and Air Jordan 1 Low 85 Wings Summit White French Blue are Made In Italy, and the entire upper comprises full-grain Italian leather. The Air Jordan 1 High 85 Wings Black pair comprises hair-on-hyde, full-grain Italian leather. The upper of each pair consists of three layers, hand stitched by an Italian craftsperson, featuring handpainted edges. Heavy satin covers the collar lining and the sockliners, which are poured polyurethane with foot-conforming foam, providing peak comfort.

In addition to the footwear price updates, Sole Retriever can confirm that a massive collection of apparel and accessories will be released to coincide with the sneakers. Included are items ranging from tops and bottoms to duffles, scarves, and cardholders. Prices range from $220 to $2,500.

All of these items are made from high-end materials such as premium fleece, buttery lambskin, and cashmere blends. One item in particular, the Jordan Wings Net Sweater mimics the appearance of a nylon basketball net and was meticulously handcrafted by Italian artisans, dedicating over seven hours to achieve its lifelike texture and properties. The accessories draw inspiration from the classic Jordan Wings logo's proportions, whether it's through patterns or dimensions. For instance, the Jordan Wings Handbag is crafted from premium calfskin.

The Air Jordan Wings Collection was initially released on March 23, 2024, exclusively in Beijing, China. A second drop for this collection, exclusively in Japan, is set for October 19th and 20th at a pop-up held at JING Harajuku Yodobashi J6 Building, followed by a release on the 24th at the Jordan World Of Flight Shubuya location. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $875 for the low-top silhouettes and $975 for the high-tops.
