Blissfully Uncomplicated: The Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Black & University Red

The stripped back NIKE AIR JORDAN 1 RETRO HIGH OG BLACK AND UNIVERSITY RED keeps it very simple for summer…

The Air Jordan I was the debut model in Michael Jordan’s timeless range of basketball silhouettes. Introduced over thirty years ago, the upcoming mid-’80s original has seen its fair share of attention and controversy, including an NBA ban on the shoe for breaching the organisation’s uniform regulations. The Jumpman incurred a few hefty penalties each time he wore the Jordan 1 on the court, but seeing a bit of marketing noise in the footwear furor, Nike picked up his bill…

First retroed back in 1994, fans of the Air Jordan 1 are getting it laid out on a plate at the moment, seeing the model drop in the throwback Metallic Red treatment last week, and now guess what? There’s a Black and University Red (aka “Bred”) colourway set to drop next month…

One for the humble heads, it’s a plain and simple package led by a tonal black upper embossed with the classics Wings logo. The university red element seems pretty scarce, and only appears on a Nike branded tab to the tongue, making this about as blissfully uncomplicated as a Jordan model can get.

If stripped down and simple is your bag, then form an orderly queue for this one, as it’s set for dominance both on and off the court.

The NIKE AIR JORDAN 1 RETRO HIGH OG BLACK AND UNIVERSITY RED is set for release on TUESDAY 20 JUNE. Until then, shop the latest AIR JORDAN product at NIKE by following the banner below.
