First Look // Air Jordan 1 High '85 "Royal"

Today, DJ ChaseB took to his Instagram story to reveal an exciting first look at the Air Jordan 1 High '85 "Royal," a highly anticipated release that is currently shrouded in mystery. While the details surrounding the availability of this pair remain unclear, the reveal has sneakerheads buzzing with excitement.

The "Royal" colorway follows the same iconic color blocking seen on the highly popular "Bred" 1 '85, set to release in February 2025, but instead of the classic Varsity Red, it features vibrant Royal Blue. This reimagining of the original "Royal" Jordan 1 from 1985 stays true to the bold design elements that made the silhouette iconic, with premium leather construction and a timeless aesthetic.

The story behind the Air Jordan 1 High OG (1985) "Royal" colorway is that Michael Jordan chose to wear the royal blue and black shoes because they were his favorite colors during the 1985 promotional photoshoot. This photoshoot led to the iconic "Flight Guy" image and poster, forever cementing the "Royal" AJ1 in sneaker history.

Although an official release date has not been confirmed, we can assume that these could drop as soon Spring 2026.
