The Air Jordan 1 Low “Varsity Red” is set to make waves in the sneaker world with its bold, high-gloss patent leather finish, reimagining a beloved color scheme for Fall 2025. This release continues Jordan Brand’s legacy of blending heritage design with modern flair, delivering a sneaker that’s equal parts nostalgic and contemporary. With its iconic black-and-red palette and a shiny new twist, the “Varsity Red” Air Jordan 1 Low is poised to be a must-have for sneaker enthusiasts and casual wearers alike.
The Air Jordan 1, first introduced in 1985 as Michael Jordan’s signature sneaker, revolutionized the sneaker industry and became a cultural icon. The “Varsity Red” colorway draws inspiration from the classic “Bred” (Black and Red) palette, a nod to the Chicago Bulls’ colors and the Air Jordan 1 High ’85, one of the most coveted silhouettes in sneaker history. While the original “Bred” High set the standard, the low-top version offers a more accessible, everyday option without sacrificing the bold aesthetic that defines the Jordan legacy.
This iteration of the Air Jordan 1 Low stays true to its roots with a black leather base, vibrant red overlays, and a clean white midsole. However, what sets this release apart is the use of glossy patent leather across the upper, replacing the traditional leather or nubuck for a sleek, eye-catching finish. The patent leather amplifies the “Varsity Red” hue, making the red Swoosh, toebox, heel, and outsole pop with a reflective shine that’s sure to turn heads.
The Air Jordan 1 Low “Varsity Red” Patent Leather is slated for release in Fall 2025, with an expected retail price of $125 USD for men’s sizes.
