A rare twist on a revered classic.
The Air Jordan 1 High 85 OG 'Reverse Shadow' flips the iconic Black/Medium Grey Shadow palette with asymmetrical paneling and vintage styling to create one of the tightest reinterpretations of a lost sample in the 2025 Jordan lineup.

Construction and design
This model inverts the conventional Shadow scheme: one side leans Black, the other swings Light Grey (Muslin), with mismatched Swooshes and collar flaps contributing to its “Irregular” aesthetic. Crafted with premium leather, it includes OG-era elements like the high-cut Hi ’85 shape, Wing logo on the collar flap, and a woven Nike Air tongue tag. The faux-aged midsole adds an immediate vintage vibe, reinforcing its heritage appeal.

Comfort and performance
Built true to the ’85 specification, this AJ1 delivers authentic feel with its cushioned rubber cupsole and padded collar. The leather upper offers structure and durability, while the timeless traction pattern ensures generational grip—effortlessly blending retro design with modern comfort.

Release
Launched as a Japan exclusive on July 31, 2025, the Air Jordan 1 High 85 OG 'Reverse Shadow' aka 'Irregular Shadow' retailed for $200 USD/200€ and was accessible via select local retailers and raffles. A global release wasn’t officially confirmed but EU retailers are dropping them in late August 2025.
