Overview:
The Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Royal” is officially set to return in 2026, reviving one of the most legendary colourways ever created. Originally worn by Michael Jordan in 1985, the black and royal blue combination remains one of the most recognisable designs in sneaker culture.
Last seen in 2017, this upcoming release keeps things true to the OG specification, making it a must-cop for both long-time collectors and new sneakerheads.
Classic Black & Royal Colour Blocking:
The sneaker features a premium leather upper dressed in deep black across the side panels, collar and toe overlays. Royal blue accents hit the toe box, heel counter, ankle flap and Swoosh, creating that unmistakable contrast that made the Royal colourway famous.
A crisp white midsole sits underneath, paired with a royal blue outsole to complete the timeless look. The iconic Wings logo appears on the lateral collar, while classic Nike Air branding remains on the tongue for full OG authenticity.
The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Royal” 2026 is expected to release via Nike SNKRS and select UK retailers. As with previous OG returns, availability may vary by region.
