Air Jordan 1 High OG "Royal" Returns October 10, 2026

The Air Jordan 1 High OG "Royal" is expected to join Jordan Brand's Holiday 2026 lineup.

Reported by X users @zSneakerHeadz and @MrUnloved1s, the news arrives just two years after the launch of suede Reimagined style clad in the same "Black/Royal Blue/White" color scheme. It is now confirmed that the upcoming release will feature the OG Air Jordan 1 build, rather than the High ’85 construction. While early speculation suggested the pair could follow the same High ’85 cut used on 2025’s 40th anniversary “Bred” Air Jordan 1, recent confirmation puts those rumors to rest.

The confusion stemmed from a late-2024 social media post by Travis Scott’s close friend and collaborator Chase B, who previewed a premium “Royal” Air Jordan 1 executed in the High ’85 style. That pair is now believed to have been a promotional or sample version, separate from the retail release.

Stay tuned for firm Nike.com/Jordan release details and official product shots of the pair. A launch is expected on October 10, 2026. For now, you can enjoy a closer look at the 2017 version below.
