A new Metallic Air Jordan 1 is dropping.

If you love the Air Jordan 1, then you have more than just good taste. Overall, you have a depleted wallet due to the sheer amount of colorways that this sneaker receives. Moreover, you have probably seen a ton of variations of this shoe. In recent history, one of the more popular variations is the "High '85." This is a model that pays homage to the original silhouette of the Jordan 1. It contains a boxier cut, especially around the back heel and cuff. However, fans certainly love this blast from the past.

The vast majority of High '85 colorways have been retros. There were a ton of unique color schemes from the 80s, and fans want them back. For instance, there was an entire "Metallic" series that offered some unique looks. Typically, there was even some patent leather mixed in for good measure. That said, Jordan Brand is looking to bring some of that magic back to the market. Recently, we even got a look at the new Air Jordan 1 "Metallic Burgundy."

This new photoshop rendering comes to us from the good folks over at sneakerfiles.com and @zsneakerheadz. Firstly, you can see that the shoe starts off by being covered in some regular white leather. Secondly, the cuff of the sneaker and the Nike swoosh get some nice burgundy patent leather. These are some very clean design choices that help this shoe stick out. While some may find these basic, others are going to be absolutely enamored by them. At the end of the day, a white base always seems to work out well.

Unfortunately, it seems like the release date for this shoe is actually quite a long way away. For now, it is believed that this will drop in the Spring of 2024. However, no exact date has actually been revealed. That said, this is a shoe everyone should be looking forward to. Let us know what you think of this Air Jordan 1, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sneaker world. We will be sure to bring you the biggest releases from the biggest brands.
