A classic colorway is set to return.

One of the best variations of the Air Jordan 1 has been the Air Jordan 1 Low. Additionally, it seems like Jordan Brand is coming through with a new variation of the variation. Overall, we are talking about the AJ1 Low '85. We have seen the '85 aesthetic on the High OG, so it makes sense it would come to the low-top. Simply, this aesthetic just takes the original cut of the shoe, which is a bit boxier and more rigid. This brings forth nostalgia, and fans are always eager to get their hands on something like this.

Recently, we found out that one of the first colorways of the Air Jordan 1 Low '85 would be "Neutral Grey." Overall, this is an iconic colorway when it comes to OG Jordan Brand shoes. It takes a white base and adds a bit of grey into the mix on the Nike swoosh and the back heel. Originally, this model was going to drop this year. However, @zsneakerheadz is reporting that the shoe has been delayed. Furthermore, they are reporting that a "Metallic Blue" colorway is also on the horizon.

"Metallic Blue" Air Jordan 1 Low

In the post above, you can see what this "Metallic Blue" sneaker is going to look like. Overall, it is quite simple. Firstly, you have a white leather upper. Secondly, the Nike swoosh and the back heel are made of a gorgeous metallic blue aesthetic. This all comes together to create a shoe that is very hard to hate. Once again, Jumpman will have the oldhead sneakerheads rushing for their wallets. Hopefully, we get some new images soon.

Based on the Instagram post up above, it has been made clear that the Air Jordan 1 Low '85 "Metallic Blue" and "Neutral Grey" colorways will drop next year. Moreover, it seems like the Spring is the most likely time frame for these releases. Let us know what you think of this sneaker, in the comments section below.
