It was about a year ago that we reported another Air Jordan 1 by Virgil Abloh was in the works. Now, that project has finally come to light: Fragment Design founder Hiroshi Fujiwara wore the Virgil Abloh Archive x Air Jordan 1 High “Alaska” during a panel at the Virgil Abloh: The Codes exhibit in Paris.
The sneaker essentially reprises the all-white Off-White x Air Jordan 1 High from 2018, which was a limited Europe exclusive. Importantly, there’s a key branding change. Just like the V.A.A. x Air Force 1 “Sesame” as well as pine green Forces created for Virgil Abloh Archive employees — this pair swaps out the Off-White name for “V.A.A.” text on the medial side.
No release information has been announced yet, but the sneaker is expected to land sometime in 2026. Stick with us for further updates.
In other Jordan news, the “Black Cat” 4s return with “Nike Air” branding in November.
