Jordan 1 Retro High '85 OG Bred (2025)

Jordan 1 Retro High ’85 OG Bred (2025)

The Jordan 1 Retro High ’85 OG Bred (2025) brings back one of the most important colourways in sneaker history in a construction designed to closely reference the original 1985 Air Jordan 1. Celebrating the silhouette’s 40th anniversary, the release revisits the legendary Black and Varsity Red combination associated with Michael Jordan’s earliest years at Nike and the beginnings of the Air Jordan franchise.

The upper is constructed from premium Black and Varsity Red leather, following the unmistakable colour blocking of the original Bred—also known as “Banned”—Air Jordan 1. Black covers the toe box, quarter panels and collar, while Varsity Red appears across the overlays, heel, Swoosh and outsole. The High ’85 construction features a taller, more structured profile with proportions intended to more closely resemble vintage pairs from the mid-1980s.

Classic details reinforce the sneaker’s heritage, including the Nike Air tongue label, traditional Wings branding around the collar and a clean white midsole separating the two-tone upper from the red outsole. Unlike more heavily reworked interpretations of the Bred theme, this edition focuses on recreating the simplicity and presence of the original through historically inspired shape, materials and branding.

The Air Jordan 1 remains a defining link between basketball, sneaker collecting and streetwear culture, and few versions carry the historical significance of the Bred. Combining the celebrated High ’85 shape with one of Jordan Brand’s foundational colourways, the 2025 release is both a tribute to four decades of Air Jordan history and an essential piece for collectors seeking an original-inspired interpretation of the icon.
