Air Jordan 1 Retro High '85 OG 'Bred / Banned' 2025

Description:

The Air Jordan 1 Retro High '85 OG Bred marks the return of one of the most legendary colorways in sneaker history. First introduced in 1985 and famously linked to the NBA’s “banned” controversy, the black and varsity red combination has become a lasting symbol of rebellion and basketball culture. For its 40th anniversary, Jordan Brand delivers a carefully reconstructed edition that closely mirrors the original design, complete with premium leather and authentic color blocking.

This 2025 version features a slightly taller cut and a larger, sleeker Swoosh for a truer ’85 shape. A black leather base is paired with bold varsity red overlays and a crisp white midsole, while the durable rubber outsole ensures everyday wearability. Finishing touches include extra laces, a retro hangtag, and original-style packaging that enhances its collector appeal.

Released on February 14, 2025 during NBA All-Star Weekend, the pair retailed for $250 and was limited to just 10,000 pairs worldwide — making it one of the rarest and most sought-after Jordan 1 drops in recent years.
