The Howard University x Air Jordan 1 Low OG Releases October 2026

Jordan Brand is bringing back its Howard University collaboration for 2026, this time on an Air Jordan 1 Low OG dressed in a darker palette that leans into the school's colors more directly than the 2024 version. Where that earlier release worked from a mostly white base with navy and red accents, the new build flips the approach, putting Midnight Navy at the center and pulling red and white into a supporting role throughout.

The upper is constructed in Midnight Navy with red and white details that reference Howard's official colors. One of the more distinctive design choices is the exposed stitching around the Swoosh, which gives the shoe a handcrafted quality that sets it apart from a standard Air Jordan 1 Low OG release. Howard Bison branding appears near the heel, tying the shoe directly to the university without overhauling the silhouette's classic low-top structure.
