Jordan 1 High OG has been released in hundreds of colorways, but only a few colorways are constantly talked about. This article summarizes the popular Jordan 1 High colorways by category, along with tips on choosing which colorway is best for everyday wear or collecting.
Chicago: The Original Colorway in White/Red/Black
The colorway Michael Jordan wore during his early days with the Chicago Bulls is the first one people think of when they talk about the Jordan 1.
- Chicago "Lost and Found" released in late 2022, featuring aged leather to give it a vintage look, complete with cracks at the collar and yellowed soles.
- Heritage features a white/red/black colorway similar to the Chicago but at a more accessible price.
Bred: Black/Red and the "Banned" Legend
The black/red colorway comes with Nike's marketing story that this colorway was banned by the NBA from being worn on the court, giving rise to the name "Banned." It is another colorway that has always been associated with the Jordan 1.
- Jordan 1 High "Bred Banned" (2016)
- Jordan 1 High OG "Satin Bred" (W) is a women's version that uses satin instead of leather on some parts.
Royal and UNC: The Blue Colorways
- Royal: Black/blue is another original colorway. In-store, we have the Hyper Royal, which features faded blue suede.
- UNC / University Blue: A light blue color from the University of North Carolina, where Michael Jordan played, such as the University Blue (GS).
The "Toe" Colorways: White Toe Boxes
This group features white toe boxes that contrast with the main colors on the heel and sides. They are easier to style than all-over colorways.
Mocha: The Popular Brown Colorway
Brown and black became very popular after Travis Scott used this colorway on his Jordan 1s. In-store, we have the Jordan 1 High "Dark Mocha", which can be worn every day without paying collaboration prices. The actual collaboration is the Jordan 1 High x Travis Scott.
