College football season is in full swing. With campuses across the country full for the fall, Saturdays are back in front of screens, outside at tailgates, and inside 100,000-capacity stadiums. At Howard University, the Bisons are looking for a bounce-back week against Rutgers after a thrashing by the #5-ranked Indiana Hoosiers. Luckily, no matter how they play, Jordan makes sure the Bisons always look fresh.

The Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG Howard got a celeb debut with the help of Bronx rapper and Howard alum Lady London, and now, with the pair hitting retail soon, Jordan gave us a look at the co-branded colorway in navy satin.

Featuring soft, shiny blue on the entire upper, the satin finish reflects light with a different bit of color depending on the angle you see it from. The tongue adds more blue, but with a diagonally striped texture, with red on the Swoosh and tongue border, and a white background on the Swoosh. Bison branding is added to the heel of the right shoe, with a 67 on the right insole shouting out the school’s 1867 founding year.
