Update April 1, 2026 – No, this is not an April Fool’s joke. (How cruel would that be?) After waiting more than a year and a half, the Off-White x Air Jordan 1 High ‘Alaska’ is finally releasing this weekend — a holy grail that was originally intended to be part of ‘The Ten’ in 2017, the collaboration between Off-White and Nike.
In 2026, the sneaker returns, but with slight changes and under the umbrella of the Virgil Abloh Archives, the archive consisting of 20,000 works by Virgil Abloh.
Over the past few days, the sneaker has been available through various pop-ups and raffles. For those who missed out (like me), there is another chance on Friday, April 3, 2026.
The Off-White V.A.A. x Air Jordan 1 High OG 'Alaska' will be available at various retailers. Register through the Sneakerjagers release calendar for the open raffles.

Nike brings back the Off-White x Air Jordan 1 High in 2025
Under the motto: let's bring back another holy grail, the first rumors are circulating about a possible comeback of the Off-White x Air Jordan 1 High. In 2017, Nike, in collaboration with Virgil Abloh, founder of Off-White, released 'The Ten,' a pack comprising ten Nike classics each given an Off-White makeover.
One was the Air Jordan 1 High, which is set to return in 2025.
Off-White x Nike
The collaboration between Nike and Off-White may have been one of the most groundbreaking in the history of sneakers. With 'The Ten,' Abloh bridged the gap between high-end fashion and sneakers and did so successfully. Sneakers like the Nike Air Presto, Blazer Mid, VaporMax, and Zoom Fly each received the Off-White treatment, with the classic Off-White tag and all.
The collab was so successful that the two soon came up with multiple collaborations. Still, for many sneaker fans, the pack “The Ten” remains the duo's best work. Good news for them: the Air Jordan 1 High appears to be returning with the signature Off-White details.
This is an all-white colorway that takes inspiration from Abloh's first sample. It is not yet known exactly what the sneaker will look like, but expect familiar details like the iconic zipper, the written detail 'AIR', and deconstructed elements.
The sneaker is expected in 2025 and celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Jordan Brand, which was founded in 1985. So far, no images of the sneaker have been released, only images of the sample and a Sneakerjagers mock-up.
