Overview:
The Off-White x Air Jordan 1 High OG “Alaska” revisits one of the most recognisable collaborations in modern sneaker history. Continuing Virgil Abloh’s deconstructed language, this release builds on the legacy of The Ten while introducing a refined, archival aesthetic.
Design and Materials:
The “Alaska” colour-way features a predominantly white leather upper, layered with exposed foam edges and visible stitching that define Off-White’s industrial approach. Signature details return, including the printed medial text, quotation-mark branding, and the iconic orange tab near the Swoosh.
Subtle ageing cues and layered construction give the silhouette a more considered feel compared to earlier releases, balancing raw experimentation with maturity.
Cultural Context:
Few collaborations have reshaped sneaker culture the way Off-White and Jordan Brand did with The Ten in 2017. Virgil Abloh’s reinterpretation of classic Nike silhouettes blurred the line between performance footwear and conceptual design.
The “Alaska” continues that narrative, reinforcing the Air Jordan 1’s position not only as a basketball icon but as a canvas for contemporary design language.
