Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG "Rare Air - Deep Royal Blue" DZ5485-100

Jordan Brand stirs the pot with a bold remix of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG. This “Rare Air – Deep Royal Blue” edition lands with a colour-blocking layout that recalls heavy hitters from the past—but with a twist. It strikes a balance between the iconic “Shadow” and the fragment x AJ1 look, giving long-time fans and newer collectors plenty to talk about.

The upper sticks to full-grain leather, with white base panels that set the stage for deep royal blue overlays. A jet-black Swoosh slices through the side, while the toe box and heel lean grey for that “Shadow Toe” feel. It’s familiar, but the mix feels different enough to stand on its own. Instead of the usual embossed Wings logo, this pair features the “Rare Air” branding stamped clean across the collar.

Underfoot, the foam midsole comes pre-yellowed, giving the shoe a vintage finish straight out the box. The outsole dips into black to match the laces and lining, tying everything back to a classic AJ1 formula.

This pair will likely stir debate, but that’s the point. Whether you see it as a tribute or a rework, it grabs attention. The Air Jordan 1 “Rare Air – Deep Royal Blue” feels like a conversation waiting to happen—on foot or online.
