Jordan 1 Retro High OG Prototype

Jordan 1 Retro High OG Prototype

The Jordan 1 Retro High OG Prototype reimagines the original 1985 basketball icon through an experimental, customisable design. Released in 2021, the colourway reflects the development process behind early footwear samples, combining technical markings, exposed construction details and contrasting panels. Its most distinctive feature is a perforated guide around the collar, allowing the high-top silhouette to be permanently converted into a low-cut sneaker.

The upper is constructed from premium leather and nubuck in a combination of White, Black, Neutral Grey and Particle Grey. Bright blue accents appear around the collar, while Total Orange stitching introduces a sharp contrast across the monochromatic base. Printed measurement lines, exposed foam on the tongue and visible production-inspired details reinforce the prototype concept. Traditional Nike Air tongue branding and the Wings logo preserve the heritage identity of the Air Jordan 1.

Underfoot, an encapsulated Air-Sole unit provides lightweight cushioning within the classic cupsole construction. Perforations across the toe box improve airflow, while the padded collar offers supportive comfort when worn in its original high-top form. A durable rubber outsole features the familiar pivot-circle traction pattern, delivering reliable grip and maintaining the functional design language of the original basketball model.

The Jordan 1 Retro High OG Prototype stands apart through its interactive construction and unconventional finish. Whether preserved as a high-top or customised into a low-cut silhouette, each pair gives its owner the opportunity to reshape the design permanently. This combination of Air Jordan heritage, technical experimentation and personalisation makes the release an intriguing choice for collectors and creative sneaker enthusiasts.
