The AJKO 1 Low was brought back by Union Los Angeles early 2023 in two different color options. Little did we know that was just the beginning as there are also an upcoming “Shadow” and “Bred” releases coming this summer. Taking part of the new lineup is this upcoming Air Jordan 1 KO Low “Dark Royal Blue” colorway.

The Air Jordan 1 KO, also known as the AJKO, debuted back in 1986. The “KO” is believed to stand for “knock-off” as in, a cheaper version of the original Air Jordan 1 High.

This offering of the Air Jordan 1 KO Low comes constricted in a full White and Royal Blue canvas base with Royal nubuck Swooshes and heel overlay. Other details includes “Nike” logos on the tongue tags and insole with White Wings embroidery on the heels. White nylon tongues, sizing stamped on the inner lining atop an aged midsole and Royal Blue rubber outsole completes the design.
