The Air Jordan 1 High OG "Royal" Returns October 2026
Quick Summary
- The Air Jordan 1 High OG "Royal" returns October 10th, 2026 for $185 retail via Nike and select Jordan Brand retailers.
- This foundational 1985 colorway has cemented itself as a pillar of Air Jordan 1 heritage through releases in 1994, 2001, 2013, and 2017.
- The upcoming iteration uses the standard High OG cut with classic Black and Royal color blocking and trusted construction materials.
Jordan Brand is bringing back one of its most foundational colorways with the return of the Air Jordan 1 High OG "Royal" in Fall 2026, according to zSneakerHeadz and MrUnloved1s. Introduced as one of the five original Air Jordan 1 colorways in 1985, "Royal" helped define the silhouette's identity from the very beginning. The colorway has returned at key moments since, with notable releases in 1994, 2001, 2013, and 2017, each one reinforcing its place alongside "Bred" as one of the two pillars of Air Jordan 1 heritage.
This iteration arrives in the standard High OG cut rather than the more limited '85 shape, consistent with reports that the '85 line is currently on pause. That means the classic Black and Royal color blocking lands on the familiar silhouette most collectors associate with the name. Trusted materials and a faithful construction round out the build, delivering exactly what longtime fans have come to expect from a proper "Royal" retro.
The Air Jordan 1 High OG "Royal" is set to release on October 10, 2026 through Nike and select Jordan Brand retailers for a retail price of $185. To stay informed on all things Jordan Brand and to stay up to date with the latest releases, connect with us on Instagram and Twitter.
