Air Jordan 1 Low “Varsity Red” Set for Spring 2026 Return

The Air Jordan 1 Low “Varsity Red” is scheduled for a restock in Spring 2026.

Originally released in 2020 as a low-cut counterpart to the ultra-limited Air Jordan 1 High '85 “Varsity Red,” the pair quickly gained traction for mirroring the same bold color blocking seen on the high-top version.

The upcoming restock sticks to the original design blueprint: jet black leather across the base, vibrant varsity red leather overlays, and a black nylon tongue. A red collar with black lining adds contrast, while the mini heel overlay arrives in solid black—a subtle deviation from the 2020 High ’85 but true to the original Low release. Branding details include a red Jumpman logo on the tongue and a black embroidered Wings motif at the heel, all finished with flat black laces and a classic black-and-red rubber sole unit.

The Air Jordan 1 Low “Varsity Red” essentially delivers the look and feel of the High '85 release but in a more accessible, everyday format.

Expect the Air Jordan 1 Low “Varsity Red” to return in Spring 2026 via Nike.com and select Jordan Brand stockists.
