Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'Patent Bred'
The Air Jordan 1 debuted in 1985 as Michael Jordan's first signature basketball shoe, famously banned by the NBA for violating uniform colour rules. It became the foundation of sneaker culture and streetwear, transcending sport to become one of the most iconic silhouettes ever produced. The Bred colourway is one of the original and most coveted colour combinations, representing the Chicago Bulls' team colours and Jordan's legacy.
The Patent Bred colourway translates the iconic black and Varsity Red blocking into a high-gloss patent leather finish. Black patent panels form the base of the upper, with bold red accents covering the toe box, Swoosh, heel overlay, and collar flap. A white midsole and black outsole ground the shoe in the classic Bred formula while the lacquered surface adds a polished, premium edge.
Full patent leather upper with a high-gloss finish for a premium look and easy cleaning. Encapsulated Air-sole unit in a lightweight polyurethane midsole for responsive cushioning. Perforated toe box for breathability beneath the patent layer. Padded collar and nylon tongue with woven Nike branding for a secure, comfortable fit. Durable rubber cupsole with classic Jordan 1 herringbone traction pattern.
Fit: Runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK size.

The Patent Bred Jordan 1 High is ideal for sneaker collectors and streetwear enthusiasts who want the iconic Bred colourway with an elevated, head-turning finish. The glossy patent leather makes it a standout choice for anyone who treats their sneakers as a statement piece. Air-sole cushioning also makes it comfortable enough for all-day wear beyond just display.
The Patent Bred Jordan 1 High works as a statement piece with relaxed streetwear fits. Pair with slim or straight-leg black jeans and a simple white tee to let the glossy red and black finish do the talking, or go bold with cargo trousers and a varsity jacket.
The Patent Bred sits within the Jordan 1 High OG lineup alongside the standard Bred, Chicago, and Shadow colourways. Compared to the regular leather Bred, the patent version offers a more formal, polished aesthetic that works in dressier settings while keeping the same streetwear credibility. For buyers choosing between this and the standard Bred, the patent finish is the deciding factor: high-shine statement versus understated classic.
Yes, the Jordan 1 High runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK size. The patent leather upper has slightly less give than standard leather, but the padded collar and tongue ensure a comfortable, secure fit out of the box.
The Patent Bred uses a glossy patent leather upper instead of the standard tumbled or smooth leather found on the original Bred release. The colourway and design blocking remain the same, but the high-shine finish gives the shoe a more premium, dressed-up look that catches the light.
This release is a men's shoe, available here in UK 9.5. The Jordan 1 High is a unisex silhouette by design, but this particular stock is in men's sizing.
Wipe the patent leather panels with a soft damp cloth to remove dirt and fingerprints. For scuffs, use a small amount of patent leather cleaner or a gentle glass cleaner on a microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or heavy solvents as these can dull the glossy finish.
