Since its debut in 1985, Michael Jordan’s Air Jordan 1 has solidified itself as the ultimate lifestyle sneaker, continuously captivating sneakerheads with an endless array of colourways. Among the many iterations, the Air Jordan 1 “Banned,” also known as “Bred,” remains one of the most iconic and sought-after colourways of all time, with several retros released over the years. Now, this classic colourway is making a bold return in the form of the Air Jordan 1 High OG Patent Bred.
This latest AJ1 Bred features the traditional high-top profile, preserving all the signature elements that Tinker Hatfield’s original design is known for. The sneaker showcases the instantly recognizable Swoosh logos on the sides, the Wings emblem embossed on the collar, and Nike branding accents on the tongue and insoles, all of which contribute to the shoe’s timeless appeal. Underfoot, a full-length Air midsole unit ensures the comfort and support that the AJ1 has been known for since its inception.
What sets this version apart from its predecessors is the use of glossy patent leather in place of the traditional premium leather panels. While the colour blocking stays true to the original black and red, the sleek patent leather finish offers a more luxurious and high-shine look that adds a modern twist to the classic design. Though some purists may find this change polarising, long-time Jordan collectors and enthusiasts are sure to appreciate the elevated, glossy update that adds a fresh take on a beloved icon. Whether you’re a new fan or a seasoned collector, the Air Jordan 1 High OG Patent Bred offers a stunning update to one of the most coveted sneakers in history.
