The Air Jordan 1 “Rookie of the Year” Goes Low for Spring
Published:April 11, 2025
Jordan Brand continues to honor its first-ever silhouette with the return of a colorway that celebrates a legendary beginning. Dropping later this month, the Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG "Rookie of the Year" is a fresh take on the high-top colorway from 2018 that pays homage to Michael Jordan's breakout rookie season in 1985.
This low-cut version brings back the tones and textures that made the original high-top iteration a modern classic. Featuring a premium leather and nubuck upper, the sneaker blends crisp white with earthy “Golden Harvest” hues that nod to the outfit MJ wore during his NBA Rookie of the Year acceptance speech.
Details like the OG Nike Air branding on the tongue and a traditional rubber outsole round out the heritage look, while the low-profile construction offers a versatile and wearable option for spring style. Whether you're a longtime Jordan collector or new to the game, this release is a must-have for anyone who appreciates hoops history and timeless design.
Need a pair? The Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG "Rookie of the Year" will be available on Friday, April 18th at DTLR, in-store and online at DTLR.com.
