Jordan Brand has a knack for reviewing and reimagining previous releases in different forms. For example, a multitude of colorways of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG have been successfully converted into low-top form years after their debut. With the Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG Obsidian UNC debuting for Spring 2025, another familiar colorway, the Rookie of the Year edition, will also drop as a low-top.
Initially released in 2018, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Rookie of the Year edition sports a Nike Escape-like theme. The upcoming Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG Rookie of The Year mimics this design, coming in a sail, black, golden harvest, and gym red colorway. Sail-based leather underlays are paired with golden harvest-colored nubuck overlays. Black accents are seen via the Swoosh on the sides, laces, lining, and tongue tag. A minor hit of red via the Nike Air branding on the tongue tag adds a pop of color. A sail-colored midsole and a black solid rubber outsole finish off the Rookie of the Year design for this AJ 1 Low OG.
The Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG Rookie of the Year will release in Spring 2025 through Nike, SNKRS, and select Jordan Brand retailers online and in-store. Available in men's sizing, retail is set at $140. Be sure to download the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay informed about this release and other exciting news in the sneaker and streetwear world.
