Air Jordan 1 High Washed Black

After the success of the Air Jordan 1 High “Washed Pink”, Jordan Brand continues rolling out its ‘80s basketball icon with another faded edition. We’ve seen “Acid Wash” versions of the Nike Dunk High ’85 and a "Washed Denim" Air Jordan 1 Low, so it was only a matter of time before the Air Jordan 1 High got in on the action. Approaching the AJ1 with a simple set of hues and a brush of suede panelling, this could be 2023's most wearable pair yet!

Make no mistake, although the new washed panelling takes the upper down a slightly different route, all the signature traits of the AJ1 High are still present. A Wings insignia is proudly embossed onto the ankle support collar, while a white leather toe box and sidewall panelling nods to OG colour blocking. Unlike the “Washed Pink” release, the sole is based in an off-white tone instead of a heavy yellowing, with a black tread underfoot matching the hits of branding on the upper. A red Nike Air tongue label gives this drop another classic touch, a detail seen on many favourite editions such as the Jordan 1 Retro High “Bred” from 2016 and Jordan 1 “Bred Toe” from 2018. Wrapping up the entourage of vintage detailing are the set of white laces, giving these that extra ’85 touch.

If you missed out on the Air Jordan 1 High 85 “Black White” that dropped back in February, then this “Washed Black” edition is another great option that’ll be hitting the SNKRS app and other select retailers on the 10th of June.
