Jordan Brand rings in 2025 with the exclusive Air Jordan 1 High OG “Xuanwu”, a tribute to the Year of the Snake. Limited to just 3,399 individually numbered pairs, this Asia-exclusive release honors the Lunar New Year and the 40th anniversary of the iconic Air Jordan series.

Part of the Jordan New Year Transformation Series, the design takes inspiration from Xuanwu, one of the Four Divine Beasts in Chinese mythology. This legendary figure symbolizes protection and longevity, seamlessly blending cultural significance with premium craftsmanship.

The shoe’s most striking feature is its gold-sprayed leather with snake-pattern embossing, delivering a shimmering, scaly texture. Traditional Chinese symbols, including cranes, peaches of longevity, and auspicious clouds, are intricately detailed on the Swoosh, outsole, and heel, representing prosperity and harmony.

Premium materials elevate the luxurious feel of this masterpiece. The upper, laces, and lining are crafted from high-grade cowhide leather for a refined finish. Adding to its opulence, the Wings logo and lace tips feature 24K gold plating, making this release truly one-of-a-kind.
