When details dropped earlier this Air Jordan 1 in Black/White/Varsity Red, people didn’t know how to take it. Should we get excited about a potential Bred or Chicago retro? If history had taught us anything, it’s that early leaks of this nature always lead to something completely different, so we probably shouldn’t get too excited about it. But new information from @zSneakerhedzhas now confirmed that we can get excited about an OG colorway — though it won’t be arriving as expected. The Air Jordan 1 High OG “Patent Bred” is, according to reports, expected to arrive this October in a full patent leather construction.

Patent leather has always been a contentious material; the crease factor and the high-gloss are divisive on the most basic GR release, so it will be interesting to see how the reaction is on an OG-inspired release. It’s an idea we’d thrown around in the Concept Lab a few years back, and it was welcomed with warm reception — but a concept is different from reality, and just how the market will respond remains to be seen for now.
