Air Jordan 1 Low ’85 “Royal” Releasing February 2025

While the Air Jordan 1’s popularity may have seen a slight wane, Jordan Brand is poised to shift perceptions with a return to form. Scheduled for 2025, the reintroduction of OG retros in original 1985 specifications, including the Air Jordan 1 High ’85 “Bred” and this Air Jordan 1 Low ’85 “Royal” colorway, is set to rekindle enthusiasm.

The Air Jordan 1 has undergone extensive retooling over the past decade as Jordan Brand strives to mirror the sneaker’s original 1985 appearance. For the first time, the original Jordan 1 Low “Royal” will receive that ’85 treatment.

According to Sole Retriever, the pair will arrive faithful to the original, featuring a premium all-leather upper in black with vibrant varsity royal accents, echoing the iconic design of the 1985 AJ 1. The design is completed with an aged midsole and a solid rubber outsole in royal blue, encapsulating the timeless appeal of the Jordan brand.
