Bulls DNA Lives On in the Air Jordan 1 Low “Infrared 23”

Jordan Brand continues to refine its modern Low-top lineup with a familiar palette in the upcoming Air Jordan 1 Low “Neutral Grey / Black / Infrared 23,” expected to release in the first half of 2026. While understated at first glance, the colorway leans heavily on the DNA that built the brand, blending Bulls-era heritage with contemporary execution without fully abandoning the Windy City’s influence.

The pair arrives anchored in crisp white leather underlays, paired with smooth Neutral Grey overlays across the forefoot, eyestays, and heel. Black leather Swooshes and rear panels ground the design, delivering contrast that feels true to classic Chicago color blocking. Infrared 23 injects energy where it matters most, appearing on the tongue lining and inner sockliner, offering a subtle nod to one of Jordan Brand’s most iconic accent hues.

Material choices stay clean and familiar, emphasizing wearability over experimentation. The leather construction keeps things rooted in tradition, while the low-cut silhouette ensures versatility for everyday rotation. Finishing details like the Jumpman-branded tongue, Wings logo at the heel, and a two-tone outsole tie the look together with restrained precision.

As Jordan Brand continues to explore new ways to reinterpret its archive, releases like the Air Jordan 1 Low “Neutral Grey / Black / Infrared 23” show how heritage can be honored without feeling frozen in time. Expect pairs to arrive at select retailers and Nike.com during the first half of 2026.
