Air Jordan 1 ’85 – Bred

The 2025 version of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High ’85 OG ‘Bred / Banned’ tries for a true OG look, keeping the high collar and wider toe box. The leather upper blends black and red panels on the toe, heel, collar and the Swoosh. The Wings logo adorns the collar, while a woven Nike Air tag graces the tongue. A traditional rubber cupsole with white sidewalls contrast the red outsole to wrap up the look.

The choice of the “Bred” colorway is particularly significant. Not just for its historical importance as Michael Jordan’s on-court sneaker that famously flouted the NBA’s uniform regulations, but also for its enduring appeal in the sneaker community. This version’s expected leather construction and authentic detailing will likely draw a strong response from long-time fans and new collectors.

The Air Jordan 1 Hi ’85 “Bred” is set to release on February 14th during the 2025 NBA All-Star Weekend festivities; the pair has a special connection to the weekend, as it was this very shoe that Michael Jordan wore during the 1985 NBA Dunk Contest.
