Air Jordan 1 Low OG

The Air Jordan 1 Low OG is the low-cut version of Michael Jordan’s first signature shoe. Compared to mainline AJ1 Low releases, OG pairs are produced with hardware aimed at replicating the model’s layout from its original 1985 run. Jordan Brand fittingly introduced this program with the 2015 “Bred” colorway that coincided with a remastering of Air Jordan 1 High releases. From there, the initiative continued through 2017, touching ’85 colorways like “Metallic Navy,” “Chicago” and “Shadow,” as well as a run of luxe “Vachetta” editions in white, black and Ice Blue.

The Air Jordan 1 Low OG was quietly placed on the shelf following that final 2017 release. In a bit of ironic symmetry, the “Chinese New Year” colorway from 2021, built on a black and red foundation, brought the AJ1 Low OG back to the market. In the few years since the model has returned, its popularity has rivaled (if not surpassed) that of the High, aided in no small part by Travis Scott shoes. Each of his seven (!) Jordan 1 Low colorways have come on the OG model, unquestionably leading to a runoff effect that raises heat around mainline drops.

For 2026, Jordan Brand is reviving the original “big Swoosh” last used regularly in the mid-2000s. Several styles already expected, namely a Jordan 1 Low OG “Banned” based off a 2011 release of the same name.
