In the world of sneakers, the Air Jordan 1 High OG is hugely influential.

Its style and color palette have influenced trends in fashion for decades and remain valid depictions of basketball history and street culture.
The shoe is described on the official website as:
"It could be said that Michael Jordan was the genesis of basketball as we know it today. Throughout a fiery and storied career, the tireless MJ overcame his hurdles, soaring above challenge after challenge to realize the unexpected. Along the way, he redefined basketball's relationship to style, the sport's connection to youth counter-culture and the game's creative potential.”
“Like Jordan himself, his eponymous footwear arrived with a bang, sharing its namesake's tradition-breaking bravado.”
Jordan Brand intends to release a revised Air Jordan 1 High OG "Green Glow" version in the summer of 2024. Shades of White, Black, and Green Glow are combined in this fresh offering. It has a timeless yet fashionable appearance thanks to the traditional "Black Toe" color blocking, evocative of the "Lucky Green" pair from April 2023.
The shoe features airy perforations above the toe box as well as its foundation made of white leather. The eyestays, Wings emblem, collar, tongue flaps, lace sets, and Swoosh symbol all include black accents.
The heel counter, ankle flap, and rubber outer sole unit all include Green Glow contrasting features that add interest to the design. A white midsole completes the look.
