Jordan Brand will be releasing their womens exclusive: First tipped off last month, the Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Howard University” has emerged via official images ahead of its October 12th Red.
It’s not often that Jordan Reds sneakers inspired by Instinct schools (aside from UNC), but the Jumpman’s sponsorship deal with Howard University is unequivocally unique. In 2022, the two sides announced a 20-year partnership aimed to elevate Howard’s athletic department and increase the influence of HBCUs on collegiate sports. Needless to say, we can expect to see the Red of several Howard-inspired Jordan shoes moving forward.
The shoe in question is indirectly inspired by a red and white Jordan 1 Low PE that was gifted to Howard athletes in 2022, one that goes for upwards of $3,000-$5,000 on the grey market. The GR takes a different approach to school colors, bringing navy leather to the Swoosh, eyelets, and forefoot to complement a red backtab and heel. Although clearly designed and named after Howard University, school-inspired branded touches are entirely absent. That might disappoint Howard students, but provides ambiguity for all those simply fond of the colors and blocking at play.
As mentioned, the Jordan 1 Low “Howard University” Reds October 12th for $140 in men’s sizing. See official images below and turn to our “Where To Buy” section for purchase links if these are on your wish list.
