Jordan Brand will be releasing the Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Banned” in Summer 2026. The release brings back the bold “Bred” colorway—black and red with white midsoles—and the famous red “X” on the heel.

This “X” is a direct callout to the original 2011 “Banned” AJ1 High, a pair that was pulled from production and never got a proper retail launch. Now, Jordan is giving fans another shot—this time on a clean, low-top build with accurate OG details.

The shoe features black tumbled leather on the base, red overlays on the toe box, heel, and Swoosh, plus red laces and outsole. The white midsole adds balance while that heel “X” brings a nostalgic punch.

Air Jordan 1 Low OG Banned Release Date

The Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Banned” will release in Summer 2026 at Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com. The retail price is set at $145 USD.

For longtime fans, this release is a cool way to reconnect with a cult classic. For new sneakerheads, it’s a chance to own a piece of Jordan history—without the sky-high resale.
