In addition to the “Bred” pair, Jordan Brand will also be releasing an upcoming Air Jordan 1 KO Low “Shadow” colorway during Summer 2023. This release nods back to the original 1985 Air Jordan 1 High OG “Shadow” colorway, which was one of a few colorways to kick off Michael Jordan’s first signature line.

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.

Dressed in a Black, Sail, and Medium Grey color scheme nodding back to the OG “Shadow” release. This offering of the Air Jordan 1 KO Low comes constricted in a full Black and Grey canvas base with Grey suede Swooshes and leather heel overlay. Other details includes “Nike” logos on the tongue tags and insole with Black Wings embroidery on the heels. Black nylon tongues, sizing stamped on the inner lining atop an aged midsole and Black rubber outsole completes the design.
