It looks like the legendary Air Jordan 1 High '85 'Bred' is about to make a comeback, dear community. This timeless shoe, famous for its classic black and red colour blocking, is scheduled to be re-released in spring 2025 to celebrate the model's 40th anniversary.
The Air Jordan 1 High '85 'Bred' has an interesting and well known history. This colorway was first released in 1985 as the very first signature sneaker by none other than the legendary Michael Jordan at Nike. The 'Bred' colours - black, varsity red and white - quickly became a symbol of rebellion and style. Partly because they were banned for a while by the NBA, as the sneakers deviated from uniform regulations.
With the upcoming retro release, we can expect an authentic revival. The Air Jordan 1 High '85 'Bred' stays true to the OG colour scheme. Which makes the trainer look very much like the beloved 1985 model. However, some upgrades have been added, such as a larger, sleeker Swoosh.
Made from high-quality leather, this sneaker will feature a black base with varsity red accents, on a sturdy rubber sole and finished with a white midsole. Each pair comes with extra laces, a hang tag and the OG boxing, making it a true collector's item.
We still need to be patient as the Air Jordan 1 High '85 'Bred' is expected to start dropping in spring 2025. While we wait for more details, you can preview the 1985 pair in detail below.
