UPDATE 12/13/25: New detailed photos of the V.A.A. for Nike x Air Jordan 1 High OG “Alaska” have been added below. A release is expected March 28th, 2026.

UPDATE 12/10/25: The special packaging for the Virgil Abloh Archive x Air Jordan 1 High OG has finally surfaced, revealing a redesigned Air Jordan 1 box with circular cut-outs inspired by Abloh’s “Lot 50” Dunks. The box opens from the side and houses a fully transparent inner case stamped with VAA and Jumpman logos. Inside, an iridescent insert and a sketch-style booklet both feature the phrase “MODERNISM IS NOT NEW,” tying back to Virgil’s design philosophy. The pair is slated to release on March 28, 2026, for $230 USD.

UPDATE 11/21/25: On-feet photos of the Virgil Abloh Archive x Air Jordan 1 “Alaska” have been revealed. The pair still channels the spirit of the 2018 Europe-exclusive, but the switch to “V.A.A. for Nike” on the medial side marks the line’s new direction. The deconstructed look, clean layers, and familiar details all come through on foot. No confirmed release yet, though a Spring 2026 launch remains the expected window.

UPDATE 10/4/25: Hiroshi Fujiwara has revealed what appears to be the upcoming Air Jordan 1 “Alaska.” The Fragment founder showed up at the “Virgil Abloh: The Codes” exhibition in Paris wearing a new version of the Off-White x Air Jordan 1 “Euro,” highlighted by “V.A.A. for NIKE” branding on the side panels. Similar to the “Sesame” Air Force 1s, all Off-White branding has been removed, signaling that this release will not be an official Off-White collaboration but instead a project with the Virgil Abloh Archive and the late designer’s estate. Initially expected for Holiday 2025, the V.A.A. x Air Jordan 1 “Alaska” is now set to drop in early 2026.

Original Story 5/3/25:
The iconic Off-White x Air Jordan 1 High OG is set to make a grand return in 2026 (originally slated for Holiday 2025), paying tribute to the late Virgil Abloh and celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Jordan Brand. This collaboration originally debuted in 2017 as part of Abloh’s groundbreaking “The Ten” collection, which revolutionized sneaker design with its deconstructed aesthetic.

The “Euro/White” colorway, now dubbed “Alaska”, will make its highly anticipated comeback. Inspired by snow-covered landscapes, “Alaska” offers a fresh take on the original design. While official details remain under wraps, it’s unclear whether this release will be a true reissue of the “Euro” pair or lean more towards Abloh’s initial Air Jordan 1 Sample.

Expect signature Off-White elements to remain intact, including the iconic zip tie, exposed foam details, and “AIR” text on the midsole. The all-white design captures the fusion of high fashion and streetwear that Abloh mastered so well.
