Towards the tail end of 2022, it was rumored that Jordan Brand would be bringing back the much-beloved Air Jordan 1 “Royal,” albeit this time in Reimagined form. And while originally slated for a 2024 release, new information has revealed that the colorway will actually be arriving during the Holiday 2023 season.
Contrary to popular belief, the “Reimagined” series isn’t wholly informed by vintage-inspired offerings. To be more accurate, the collection is but a means of reinterpreting some of the Jumpman’s most iconic releases. And in subversion of the pack’s Air Jordan 1 “Chicago” and Air Jordan 3 “White Cement,” both of which saw see an aged-up treatment, the “Royal Reimagined” is opting to tweak its construction, replacing leather for a comprehensive use of suede. Color blocking, however, is likely to be extremely faithful to the original.
Again, the Air Jordan 1 “Royal Reimagined” is now slated for a Holiday 2023 arrival. For now, sit tight as we await further updates.
In other news, the Air Jordan 5 Georgetown is also expected to release for Holiday 2023.
