Obsidian Energy: The Air Jordan 1 Low OG Brings Back a Fan-Favourite

continue expanding the lineup in 2025 with the upcoming Air Jordan 1 Low OG ‘Obsidian’. Inspired by the classic 2019 Air Jordan 1 High OG ‘Obsidian’ – a time when the AJ1 was devouring the sneaker zeitgeist – the low top stays true to its predecessor in 2025.

Featuring premium leather uppers, the Air Jordan 1 utilises a crisp, sail-coloured base that provides a neutral canvas. The overlays, dressed in rich ‘Obsidian’, wrap around the toe, eyestays, and heel, giving the shoe a bold yet refined look. Adding a nod to Michael Jordan’s alma mater, the University of North Carolina, a vibrant ‘University Blue’ hue highlights the heel area, reinforcing the UNC connection. A sail midsole and ‘Obsidian’ rubber outsole complete the design, blending retro aesthetics with everyday lifestyle.

Set to release on March 22, 2025, the Air Jordan 1 Low OG ‘Obsidian’ will be available in full-family sizing. Retail pricing is set at $140 for men’s sizes, with grade school pairs at $120, preschool at $75, and toddler sizes at $65. The sneaker will be available at select Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com.

For all the geeks who love a little colourway context, real-life obsidian is actually volcanic glass that is formed when lava cools rapidly. Pretty badass, right? Get the lowdown on the most explosive Obsidian colourways of all time
