The Air Jordan 1 'Deep Royal Blue' Joins the Rare Air Drop

Revived for 2025, the Rare Air line is a testament to the label's deep archive and ever-evolving design language. Rooted in the trial-and-error era of early-day samples—where shifting logos and evolving details defined the process—it remains a collector’s favourite, celebrated for its nod to Jordan history both in (and out) of the . Still going strong, the Jordan Brand is delivering again, with a confirmed drop date set for a second high-top model to complement the release.

Embodying a retro aesthetic, the AJ1 'Royal Blue' comes on an entirely white leather base with pops of black, 'Neutral Grey' and 'Muslin' offering a striking contrast. With perforated toe boxes for breathability and mesh tongues for improved comfort, there's no denying that the standouts lie in the details. This includes the 'Nike Air' Wings logo on the lateral collar and the Swoosh, which, when worn in, reveals a black Swoosh underneath.

A 'Rare Air' sockliner design adds an extra nod to the series, completing the clean yet vibrant colour-blocking. Special packaging accompanies the release, making it a must-have for collectors and b-ball fans alike.
