Air Jordan 1 ‘85 “Reverse Shadow” Releasing Summer 2025

Jordan Brand will celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Air Jordan 1 in 2025, and next year’s Jordan Release Dates calendar is already jam-packed with top shelf deliveries. On top of several standard high and low-tops, Jordan Brand is set to release the ’85 cut in both original colorways and samples from the earliest days. The Air Jordan 1 ’85 “Bred” has already been confirmed for February 2025, and now new information surfaced by @zsneakerheadz and Sneaker Files reveals that a “Reverse Shadow” is in the works next Summer.

Firm details at this juncture include a palette of “Medium Grey/Black-Muslin” and projected Summer 2025 release date, mimicking an early sample colorway.
