UPDATE 12/22/25: The Air Jordan 1 High ’85 SP “Bred” quietly returned as a DSM exclusive in October 2025, timed with the release of the Assouline Air Jordan book. Per @MrUnloved1s and @CuratedVan, there are no plans for a wider release.

UPDATE 11/13/25: Dover Street Market quietly loaded the “Bred” ’85 on its site, and pairs vanished almost immediately. More shops are expected to roll out their own drops soon, but there’s still no confirmed release date. A SNKRS launch doesn’t look promising either, especially since the last run stayed exclusive to retailers.

Original Story 10/17/25:
The Air Jordan 1 High ’85 “Bred” makes a triumphant comeback this Holiday 2025, reaffirming its legendary status in sneaker culture. The pair stays true to the original 1985 design with its Black and Varsity Red leather blocking that helped define the Air Jordan legacy.

Jordan Brand last released this coveted colorway February 14th, 2025. Only 10,000 pairs were dropped across the 23 NBHD retailers, making it one of the most limited Jordan 1 drops of 2025. Sneakerheads turned that release into a chase as resale prices soared hours later.

Now, official images confirm that the Holiday 2025 release mirrors the OG in every detail—from the classic “Nike Air” tongue tag to the vintage-inspired hangtag and the three lace options (black, red, and a premium black pair with gold tips). The sneaker even arrives with a retro-style pamphlet that breaks down the Air Jordan 1’s original tech features—nostalgia at its finest.

That’s the kind of authenticity that separates the ’85 line from every retro. Fans looking to relive the roots of the Jordan era won’t want to miss this drop.

Air Jordan 1 High 85 Bred Release Date

Expect the Air Jordan 1 High ’85 “Bred” to release Holiday 2025 via Nike.com and select retailers for $250 USD.
