2023-04-10T15:12:26-04:00

Back in 2009, Jordan Brand released its “Defining Moments Pack,” which included two different versions of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG. The pack contained the classic Black and Red Air Jordan 1, a nod to Jordan’s Bulls, as well as a new “Celtics” colorway – an homage to Jordan dropping 63 on the Boston-based team in Game 2 of their 1986 playoff matchup.

The “Bred” Air Jordan 1 has been rereleased several times since then, but the same can’t be said for its Celtics counterpart. But that’s about to change this year, as Jordan Brand gears up to retro the “Celtics” Air Jordan 1, this time under the “Lucky Green” moniker.

The upcoming Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Lucky Green” features colorblocking akin to the original “Black Toe” Air Jordan 1.

Fans of Michael Jordan and his eponymous sneaker label are no doubt familiar with the G.O.A.T.’s early years at Laney High School in Wilmington, North Carolina. As the story goes, Jordan was cut from the Varsity team as a sophomore at the school – an inciting moment that would lead young Mike to become the player we all know today.

Whether or not that tale is completely accurate is up for discussion, but regardless, Laney High School has continued to be a source of inspiration for Jordan and his sneaker line throughout the years. The first “Laney” colorway graced the panels of the Air Jordan 14 Low in 1999. The blue-and-yellow color combination has appeared on many other Jordan models since then and is set to land on the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG later this month.

The upcoming Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Game Royal and Varsity Maize” features a leather upper done in the school’s blue and yellow tones, with a white rubber midsole and blue rubber outsole. Classic "Nike Air" branding can be found on the tongue, while the classic "Wings" logo is stamped on the lateral ankle-collar flaps of the shoe.

Its cushioned insole provides support for all-day wear, while the padded collar offers added comfort. The high-top design also offers extra ankle support, making these shoes a great choice for women who are always on the move.

The “Taxi” hue has been a part of Jordan Brand’s line ever since the release of the original Air Jordan 12 in 1996. And while it’s often relegated to the model it first appeared on – despite a recent appearance on the Air Jordan 8 – the bright yellow color is making its return on the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG later this month.

Done in a familiar black-toe style, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Taxi” boasts a black, white, and “Taxi”-yellow color scheme.

The titular “Taxi” tone dresses the leather panels on the toeboxes, heels, and ankle collar flaps. As far as branding goes, the sneaker features debossed Wings logos at the lateral ankle collar flaps, as well as Nike Air–branded tongue tabs.

To finish things off, Jordan Brand opts for white rubber midsole units, which are attached to “Taxi”-colored rubber outsoles.

Don’t sleep – the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Taxi” will be available on DTLR.com and DTLR stores on September 24th. Retail is set at $180.

This Women’s Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Comes Dressed in Denim

2022-09-15T13:30:00-04:00

Jeans and sneakers go together like peanut butter and jelly – it’s a pairing that stands the test of time. But what about when denim is integrated into a pair of sneakers? Well, that’s more like mac and cheese: slightly more challenging to put together, but extremely satisfying when done correctly.

Denim material being used on sneakers is certainly not a new concept, but it has been getting a fair amount of play as of late. This year, we’ve seen the material appear on the Air Max 90 “Denim” and Air Max 1 “Dirty Denim,” and it’s set to grace the panels of the Air Jordan 1 High later this month.

The upcoming Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Denim” features a supple tumbled-leather base done in white. From there, lightly frayed, washed denim is laid over the mudguards, eyestays, heels, and ankle collar flaps. The titular material is also used for the signature side-panel Swoosh overlays, as well as the tongues. On the lateral ankle-collar flaps, familiar Wings logos are given a distressed look, while metallic gold lace deubrés accent the upper.

This new colorway is finished simply with white rubber midsoles and pale-blue rubber outsoles.

Looking to get your hands on a pair? The women’s Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Denim” will be available on DTLR.com and at DTLR stores on September 22nd. It will also be available in pre-school and infant sizes.
