Jordan 1 Retro High '85 OG 'Black White'
The Air Jordan 1 was designed by Peter Moore in 1985 as Michael Jordan's first signature shoe, and its on-court ban by the NBA only fuelled its cultural legend. The '85 OG line is Jordan Brand's effort to faithfully recreate the original with period-correct details including the slimmer toe box, higher collar, and Nike Air branding. It remains one of the most important silhouettes in sneaker history, bridging basketball performance and streetwear culture.
The Black White colourway features a premium white leather base on the side panels with black leather overlays on the toe box, heel, and eyestay. A black Swoosh sits on the midfoot panel, while a white Wings logo on the lateral collar and a black-and-white Nike Air tongue tag complete the heritage detailing. The clean two-tone contrast makes this one of the most versatile Jordan 1 colourways ever produced.
Full premium leather upper for a structured, durable build that softens and moulds with wear. Nike Air cushioning in the sole unit provides lightweight, responsive impact protection underfoot. Padded collar with a higher '85 OG cut offers enhanced ankle support. Rubber cupsole outsole delivers reliable multi-surface traction. Perforated toe box panel promotes airflow and breathability.
Fit: Runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK size.

The Jordan 1 Retro High '85 OG Black White is ideal for anyone looking for a timeless high-top sneaker that works with virtually any outfit. It suits sneaker collectors who appreciate the period-correct '85 construction as well as everyday wearers who want a clean, versatile shoe. The Nike Air cushioning makes it comfortable enough for all-day wear, not just display.
The Black White Jordan 1 High works with almost anything thanks to its two-tone palette. Pair with slim or straight-leg jeans, cargo trousers, or joggers and let the shoe do the talking. It sits just as well with casual everyday fits as it does with more put-together streetwear looks.
The Jordan 1 Retro High '85 OG sits at the top of the Jordan 1 range, offering a more authentic construction than the standard Retro High with its slimmer toe box, higher collar, and Nike Air branding. Compared to the Nike Dunk High, the Jordan 1 provides more ankle support and a slightly bulkier profile. It competes directly with premium high-top silhouettes like the Jordan 1 Retro High OG and the Nike Blazer Mid '77 in the heritage sneaker space.
Yes, the Jordan 1 Retro High '85 OG runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK size. The leather upper breaks in slightly with wear for a comfortable, moulded fit.
The '85 OG version is built to the original 1985 specifications with a higher cut collar, slimmer toe box, and thinner leather compared to the modern Retro High. It also features Nike Air branding on the tongue tag and insole rather than the Jumpman logo, giving it a more authentic vintage look and feel.
This release is a men's shoe available in men's UK sizing. The Jordan 1 High is a unisex silhouette by design, and anyone whose size is available can wear it. For women's sizing, we recommend going 1.5 UK sizes down from your men's size.
We recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap, focusing on one panel at a time. Avoid putting them in the washing machine as this can warp the leather and damage the midsole. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
