If you ask any sneakerhead what the most iconic shoe in history is, the chances they'll say the AJ1. First introduced back in the '80s by basketball legend Michael Jordan, the silhouette has since become an absolute icon, and now, it looks like Nike will be bringing back an OG with the Air Jordan 1 Retro Hi '85!
First spotted at the end of last year, the Hi '85 is a one-to-one copy of the original shape. From the signature hang tag all the way to the meticulous stitching, everything has been replicated exactly. Coloured blocked to perfection, "Varsity Red" and "Black" panels come together for a classic look, resulting in a flipped version of the infamous "Banned".
According to Gurnee-based consignment store Sole Seekers, this shoe will be limited to just 23,000 pairs worldwide, with each one being individually numbers for added exclusivity. A "Varsity Red" and "White" pair is also expected to drop in the near future, so keep your eyes peeled!
In terms of a release date, our sources tell us that a February launch is on the cards, so if you want the Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro Hi '85 in your life you need to keep it locked at The Sole Supplier! In related news, the Off-White x Air Jordan 1 "Canary Yellow" could also be dropping later this year!
