As Jordan Brand celebrates the 40th Anniversary of the Air Jordan 1 throughout 2025, much thought has gone into how they will release the iconic silhouette. For example, the Air Jordan 1 High 85 Bred went from a GR to one of the most limited releases of the year. With the decline in the AJ 1 High OG hype, JB shifted its gears regarding the number of releases it will have.
However, the GR version of the Air Jordan 1 in mid and low-top form has not been affected. The AJ 1 is a staple on store shelves and online web stores, with colorways releasing monthly. Often Jordan Brand will take a theme it uses on traditional Air Jordan retros and continue to tell the story on themed iterations of everyday styles, be it Team Jordans, hybrids, or general release versions of signature models like the AJ 1, AJ 2, and AJ 4.
Regarding the Air Jordan Rare Air Collection, the brand uses various styles and silhouettes to further the theme, which officially kicked off in April. While we await the release of the Air Jordan 3 Retro and Air Jordan 4 Retro from this capsule, JB will usher in the Air Jordan 1 Mid and Air Jordan 1 Low this fall, as a branch of this series. After seeing the AJ 1 Mid, we now have official looks at the AJ 1 Low.
Coming in sail, deep royal blue, stadium green, neutral grey, and muslin, the Air Jordan 1 Low Rare Air goes perfectly with retro stylings from the Hartford Whalers, Dallas Mavericks, and Seattle Seahawks, to name a few. While none of those teams are tied to this theme, one can make the connection for fans to match up the kicks with the fits.
The all-leather upper is split between white, grey, blue, and green. Nylon covers the tongue while the sockliner is mesh. A muslin-colored midsole adds an aged look to this pair, furthering the Rare Air theme. Rounding this pair out is a solid rubber outsole in deep royal blue.
The Air Jordan 1 Low Rare Air is set to release in Fall 2025, through Nike and select Jordan Brand retailers online and in-store. In men's and gradeschool sizing, retail is $115 and $90, respectively.
