Jordan Brand has experimented with luxury versions of its retro Air Jordan lineup multiple times over the years, whether through collabs with Dior or elevated inline releases like the Bin23, Pinnacle, and Wings series. However, Jordan Brand launched its first official project with famed jeweler Swarovski earlier in 2025 with the Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG Shadow. Quickly following up on the low-top AJ 1 is a Swarovski x Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG in Vast Grey.
Unlike the low-top Swarovski AJ1, the high-top rendition goes monochrome and coats the entire sneaker in a single shade of vast grey. Wavy, blotch-like canvas panels are embroidered around the leather upper, with each of these encrusted with various-sized Swarovski crystals. Metallic silver hardware is used on the Air Jordan Wings logo on the collar, which itself is also surrounded by Swarovski crystals. The embellishments also appear on the tongue, Swoosh, and collar underlay.
