Detailed Look At The Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG “Rookie Of The Year”

Now dropping in April.

Detailed Look At The Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG “Rookie Of The Year”

Updated December 31st, 2024: New detailed images of the Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG “Rookie Of The Year” have surfaced. As of this update, the release date has been postponed to April 18th, 2025; these were previously expected to release on January 4th, 2025, but has since been postponed. Be sure to check our Jordan Release Dates 2025 page for the latest.


The below article was originally published on November 29th, 2024.

One of the best non-original Air Jordan 1s of all time, the “Rookie Of The Year” from 2018, is coming back as a low-top. New images just landed alongside news of a January 4th, 2025 release date.

Consistent with our first look, the gallery below shows a white, pebbled leather base and “Golden Harvest” nubuck overlays, the latter of course deriving from the jacket Michael Jordan wore while accepting hit Rookie Of The Year Award in 1985. The high-top “Rookie Of The Year” arrived around the peak of Jordan 1 hype in 2018 and is regarded as one of the strongest AJ1s when it comes to material quality; a key factor in making it one of the best non-original Jordan 1s ever. While consumer demand for Mike’s first signature has cooled significantly in recent years, the “ROTY” Low could prove to be a much needed sell out. Notably, the 2018 release still goes for around 2x retail on the aftermarket.

The Air Jordan 1 Low “Rookie Of The Year” retails for $140 and will be available on January 4th, 2025. Return to our “Where To Buy” section below for purchase links on that date.
