Despite the hype has subsided, the legacy of the Air Jordan 1 is far from over. The Jordan Brand will maintain this pattern well into the year 2024, with a monthly drop throughout the entire year. The Midnight Navy pairing is the latest set to be revealed, following the release of other pairs such as Yellow Ochre, Green Glow, and Black Metallic Gold, which have already been confirmed for release.

As a component of the Heritage Twist series, which recreates traditional designs in new materials and shades, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Midnight Navy is newly released for the Fall 2024 season.

This specific pair features colorblocking in the Chicago style, complete with midnight navy, black, white, and sail as the primary colors employed. The traditional AJ 1 High Chicago has had all of its red color swapped with midnight navy, however, the black and white sections have remained the same.

The overall design is finished off with a solid rubber outer sole unit in midnight navy, which complements the navy sail-colored midsole that gives the shoe a vintage feel.

The following information can be found on the official website of Jordan Brand, which pertains to the modest beginnings of the Air Jordan 1 sneaker as well as the historical context around its creation.

"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."

It continues—

"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."

Keep an eye out for the upcoming release of the Air Jordan 1 High Midnight Navy iteration, slated to hit shelves in the coming months of 2024. Jordanheads and curious readers are encouraged to stay tuned to the Nike website for timely alerts regarding its launch.
