A Classic Reborn
The Air Jordan 1, a silhouette that needs no introduction, is set to make another triumphant return. This time, it’s not just any colorway, but a royal one: the “Rookie of the Year”.
A Nod to History
To understand the significance of this colorway, we must delve into the past. In 1985, a young Michael Jordan burst onto the NBA scene, dazzling fans with his extraordinary talent. His rookie year was nothing short of spectacular, earning him the coveted Rookie of the Year award. To commemorate this historic moment, Jordan Brand introduced the Air Jordan 1 High OG “Rookie of the Year” in 2018.
A New Chapter
Now, in 2025, the legacy continues. The iconic color scheme is making a comeback, but this time, it’s adorning the low-top silhouette. The Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Rookie of the Year” is a testament to Jordan’s enduring impact on the sneaker culture.
A Royal Colorway
The shoe boasts a regal color palette, featuring a combination of Sail, Black, Golden Harvest, and Gym Red. The Sail leather base provides a clean canvas, while the Golden Harvest suede overlays add a touch of luxury. Black accents on the Swoosh, laces, and inner lining provide contrast, and the Gym Red “Nike Air” branding on the tongue adds a pop of color.
Release Details
The Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Rookie of the Year” is scheduled to release on January 4, 2025, at select Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com. The retail price is set at $140 USD.
