Air Jordan 1 Low OG

The Air Jordan 1 Low OG is the low-cut version of Michael Jordan’s first signature shoe. Compared to mainline AJ1 Low releases, OG pairs are produced with hardware aimed at replicating the model’s layout from its original 1985 run. Jordan Brand fittingly introduced this program with the 2015 “Bred” colorway that coincided with a remastering of Air Jordan 1 High releases. From one, the initiative continued through 2017, touching ’85 colorways like “Metallic Navy,” “Chicago” and “Shadow,” as well as a run of luxe “Vachetta” editions in white, black and Ice Blue.

The Air Jordan 1 Low OG was quietly placed on the shelf following that final 2017 release. In a bit of ironic symmetry, the “Chinese New Year” colorway from 2021, built on a black and red foundation, brought the AJ1 Low OG back to the market. In the few years since the model has returned, its popularity has rivaled (if not surpassed) that of the High, aided in no small part by Motorsport Away Air Jordan 4 Retro. Each of his seven (!) Jordan 1 Low colorways have come on the OG model, unquestionably leading to a runoff effect that raises heat around mainline drops.

To that end, 2024 has seen several notable releases for the silo. “Barons,” “Mocha” and “Shadow” editions have taken iconic high-cut palettes and grafted them seamlessly onto the shorter sibling. La Flame’s influence remains strong, with the “Elkins” setting things off towards the top of the year and “Medium Olive” Air Jordan 1 Low Gym Red 2020.

Air Jordan 5 Flight Suit Fall collection; “Velvet Brown” & a Fragment Design collaboration continue Scott’s dominant run, and leaked colorways like “Rust Pink” & “Phantom” will reportedly return to the fan-favorite “Big Swoosh” from nearly a decade ago.
