For most of his career, Michael Jordan was synonymous with black and red. From his early fines fiasco for wearing shoes without enough white to endless Chicago-themed colorways up and down the numbered Air Jordan catalog, Bulls colorways have always been the most iconic Jumpman pairs. All that red never stopped Jordan Brand from getting a little blue, though.

Royal Redux

The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Royal is a 1985 icon in a two-tone mix of deep blue and pitch black, with soft black leather on the toe and side panels, with black nylon on the tongue. Royal Blue leather is added on the toebox, heel, and Swoosh, with more blue on the tongue tag logo and white on the midsole for some clean contrast underfoot.

After selling out endless Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG colorways at the beginning of the decade, the past couple of years have seen the silhouette take a back seat, with fewer and fewer retro releases hitting retail, while the Air Jordan 1 Retro Low bolstered its presence at boutiques everywhere. Still, no matter where the Air Jordan 1 Retro High is in its popularity cycle, colorways like the Royal pair are always welcome. Plus, this retro isn’t taking the Reimagined route, which covered the model in suede, and instead sticks to the classic all-leather build.
