While the Air Jordan 1 noise has quieted over the past year and saturation has begun to creep in, those trends shouldn’t drown out how significant of a release this is. The “Metallic Burgundy” stands as just one of three OG AJ1 colorways to never receive a retro, a group that’ll dwindle down to just the “Metallic Orange” and “Metallic Black” once this pair launches.
Additionally, it marks just the 5th time the ’85 cut has been rolled out, a construction typically utilized for launch colorways like on the “Black/White,” “Neutral Grey,” or its introduction, the “New Beginnings” pack that revived a coveted Jordan-worn PE.
Nike Air Jordan 1 12 Jordan 1 “Satin Shadow” and Jordan 1 “Black Toe Reimagined” on tap for Holiday 2025 and some seismic retros like the Jordan 1 “Bred” set for next year, true collectors are facing a that might be great for nostalgia but tough on the wallet.
