Air Jordan 1 High OG "Black/Metallic Gold" Arrives August 2024

Despite a perceived wane in the overarching popularity of the Air Jordan 1, within the extensive family of the Air Jordan 1 High OG, there remain releases that capture the imagination and enthusiasm of sneakerheads worldwide. Among these standout releases is the much-anticipated Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Black/Metallic Gold,” set for a dazzling debut this summer.

Thanks to new images provided by @xcsnkr, fans are offered an early glimpse into what the “Black/Metallic Gold” variant has in store. Contrary to initial speculations hinting at a patent leather composition similar to the 2020 Black/Gold Jordan 1, the sneaker showcases a classic leather mix, adhering to the traditional craftsmanship associated with the Air Jordan 1. However, this iteration doesn't shy away from incorporating elements of shine; gold accents on the Swoosh, collar, heel, and toebox inject a polished and refined aesthetic, setting this pair apart from its predecessors.

With all signs of an August 10th release, anticipation is building for this luxurious take on a basketball sneaker legend. A full family-size run is expected to be available.
