College football season is underway on and off the field, from the tailgate to the end zone and everywhere in between. At Jordan Brand, the Jumpman is making sure that its sponsored schools are laced up for every occasion, from players to fans. At Howard University, PE pairs of the Air Jordan 14 and an Air Jordan 11 Cleat for the team are now matched with an Air Jordan 1 Low for fans.
The latest Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG Howard University debuted in a photo shoot from Bronx rapper and Howard alum Lady London, alongside a Howard x Jordan outfit. Hitting retail for the holiday season, the pair is covered in deep blue satin with red accents to match the Howard school colors.
Starting with a monochrome base of satin blue, the Swoosh switches to a textured red with a white border. The heel tab adds more blue in suede, and unlike the first Howard Air Jordan 1 Low, a Howard Bison logo is featured prominently. The midsole switches to white, but more blue pops on the outsole. There’s more red on the tongue border, but with only the editorial shoot photos to go off, we can’t see if there’s a Bison tongue logo to match the heel.
The Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG Howard University will be released Holiday 2026 through Nike and select Jordan retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $155. For all the latest Jordan NCAA news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
