An incredible OG Air Jordan 1 is back on the way.

One of the best sneakers ever made is none other than the Air Jordan 1. Overall, this is the sneaker that started it all for Michael Jordan and Jordan Brand. The shoe was released in 1984, and to this day, is one of the best sellers from Nike. Although, it should be noted that the High OG we know today is not like the sneaker that was released almost 40 years ago. In fact, the original version of the shoe had a straighter cut to it. While the High OG remains more prevalent, the High '85 version has received quite a bit of shine thanks to recent nostalgia.

Subsequently, we have seen plenty of great Air Jordan 1 High '85 colorways make their way to the market. Typically, these colorways always seem to bank on people's nostalgia. This is due to the fact that the High '85 is the perfect silhouette for retros. Back in the day, there were plenty of amazing colorways that came out with this specific cut, and Nike is always eager to pay homage. Now, we even have a teaser for a new High '85 that is set to drop next year.

"Metallic Red" Air Jordan 1

According to @zsneakerheadz on Instagram, this Air Jordan 1 is the "Metallic Red" colorway. This is an iconic OG version of the silhouette, and fans will be very excited to see these back on the market. Firstly, the shoe is covered in white leather. From the toe box to the overlays, 80 percent of the shoe is white. Secondly, we get a nice bright red on the Nike swoosh, cuff, Wings logo, and even the outsole. All of this comes together to create a sneaker that simply cannot be stopped in the warmer months.

As for a release date, well, we still do not have one. Overall, this shoe is set to be dropped in the Spring of 2024. For now, however, this is simply a rumor. Nevertheless, the new information regarding this shoe should be nice to hear for all of you sneakerheads out there. Let us know what you think of the upcoming release, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sneaker world.
