There will be multiple "Wings" Air Jordan 1s throughout 2023.

If you are a huge sneakerhead, then you can probably agree that the Air Jordan 1 is one of the greatest sneakers ever made. Most fans love the Air Jordan 1 High OG. However, it is important for people to note that the original Jordan 1 from 1985 had a bit of a twist to it. Overall, the cut of the shoe's back heel was a lot straighter. This was more in line with the design philosophies of the time. As a way to honor the past, Jumpman has delivered the Air Jordan 1 High '85, which has already received a whole host of colorways.

Throughout 2023, it has been made clear that the Air Jordan 1 High '85 will continue to be a huge part of the brand's range. After all, why wouldn't it be? This is a shoe that brings forth a ton of nostalgia. Moreover, it pays homage to the past, which is always something to celebrate. Additionally, just like any other Jordan 1, it possesses the potential for some truly amazing color schemes.
