Originally released in 2013, the Air Jordan 1 “Black Gold” debuted in extremely limited quantities modeled after a rare original sample of the Air Jordan 1.
Released in 2021, the Air Jordan 1 “Patent Bred” gives the iconic “Bred” colorway a glossy makeover. It features a full patent leather build with its signature Black and Red upper atop a White midsole and Red rubber outsole.
