The legendary Air Jordan 1 High ’85 “Bred”, famed for its timeless Black and Red palette, is poised to stage a nostalgic return in February 2025, commemorating the model’s 40th Anniversary.

This iteration holds a storied history, originally released in 1985, marking Michael Jordan’s first signature sneaker with Nike. The “Bred” colorway quickly became a symbol of rebellion and style, famously banned by the NBA for violating uniform regulations. With its return, sneaker enthusiasts can anticipate an authentic revival, as the retro release promises to maintain the OG color blocking and closely resemble the beloved 1985 version.

The upcoming release maintains the classic Black, Varsity Red, and White palette. Sporting the ’85 build, it stands taller than its Retro High OG counterpart, with a larger, sleeker Swoosh. Crafted from premium leather, it boasts a Black base adorned with Varsity Red accents, atop a durable rubber outsole. A White midsole completes the OG look. Each pair comes with extra laces, a hangtag, and original packaging.
