The long-rumoured "Starfish" Air Jordan 1 Highs have arrived after Nike officially revealed the shoes via its SNKRS launch page.
While the brand has opted to remake some of the best Jordan 1 colourways as of late, this new "Starfish" offering is an OG design reminiscent of the infamous “Shattered Backboard” series.
In fact, the "Shattered Backboard" colourway saw its own comeback already this year with the debut of the "Shattered Backboard" Golf Lows.
However, we're focusing our attention solely on the upcoming "Starfish" release in this article. So, without further delay, here's everything we know about Jordan's latest take on one of the best basketball shoes of all time.
Air Jordan 1 High OG Starfish Release Date
While it wasn't officially confirmed, rumours surrounding the "Starfish" colourway suggested it would drop on 22 September 2022.
Nike has since confirmed this release date for the UK meaning the sneakers are out now if you're interested in picking up a pair. We'd recommend acting fast though as there's a chance they could sell out given their OG design.
In the US though, the sneakers arrive on 27 October 2022 according to the SNKRS listing, almost a month later than the UK release date.
What makes the design OG? Well, we've got everything you need to know right here...
Air Jordan 1 High OG Starfish Design
As mentioned, these "Starfish" Jordan 1s are not too dissimilar to the “Shattered Backboard” series as they feature a simple three-tone colour scheme consisting of orange, white, and black tones.
More specifically, the sneakers combine premium white leather with bright orange overlays across the mudguards, eyelets, and heels.
Jordan has then chosen to use black thread for the exposed stitching across the overlays to match the heel details and Wings insignias on the ankles.
Moreover, the laces and Swooshes see a return of the orange tone, along with the Nike Air branding on the off-white tongues, which give the shoes a more retro feel.
Keeping with the typical Jordan 1 design, the rubber outsoles are kept within the orange colour palette and are then combined with the usual white Nike Air midsoles.
Air Jordan 1 High OG Starfish Price
The "Starfish" 1s cost £164.95 ($180) in adult sizing; however, smaller and subsequently cheaper kids sizes are also available.
A Younger Kids' variation is available for £59.95 and Toddler sizes cost £47.95.
Where To Buy The Air Jordan 1 High OG Starfish
