The moment we’ve all been waiting for is here. Jordan Brand is finally 40 years old, and you know the celebration will be fire. Of course, the brand didn’t disappoint with all the hot news and rumors. So today, we’re gonna check out the Jordan Brand 40th anniversary lineup! Whether you’re a collector or a reseller, you’ll want in on many of these drops. And whoever said that the industry is dead, you can tell them to rethink this statement! Now, let’s jump right into it, shall we?
Jordan Brand 40th Anniversary Lineup – Heat Upon Heat!
It doesn’t matter what your interest is when it comes to Jordan 1s. From collaborations to retros and modern takes on classics, there’s something for everyone! And who knows, you might have something in mind here but change it once you see what the lineup has in store for you. So, let’s check them out together!
Collaborations of the Year
Fragment Travis Scott Jordan 1 Low
Remember when we were talking about all the 2025 sneaker rumors? Well, it seems that most of them will actually drop, including the Fragment Travis Scott Jordan 1 Low. These babies will mark the second three-way collab between all the parties since their first in 2021! The 2025 edition will allegedly feature a sail upper with hits of blue on the swoosh, outsole, and tongue. Simple, yet hella hype! Unfortunately, we might have to wait till September 3, 2025, to get these babies for $150. But one thing’s for sure, and it’s that the kicks will be worth it.
Rui Hachimura Jordan 1 Low Cranes ‘Oatmeal’
Do you remember Rui Hachimura’s Jordan 1 Low PEs from 2022? Well, it seems like in 2025, we’ll be getting another take on these babies, but it’ll be a general release! The kicks will feature the same design as the PEs but in the ‘Oatmeal’ colorway. We can expect the collab to hit Nike SNKRS and retailers sometime during Spring 2025 for $160.
Swarovski Jordan 1 Low
If you’re in the mood for something fancy, you’re in the right place. You see, Swarovski and Jordan are bringing out the big guns in 2025! And well, the Jordan Brand 40th anniversary definitely deserves the best, right? If the leaks are true, we can expect the kicks to drop on May 15, 2025, for the whopping price tag of $1,000. But one thing is obvious here, it’s that these kicks are must-haves for any avid Jordan collector!
Nigel Sylvester Jordan 1 Low Nitro
Nigel Sylvester and Jordan Brand have been on a solid streak of cool drops. From the Jordan 4 RM to today’s Jordan 1 Low, there’s a lot of drip to expect. And you know you won when it comes to Jordan collabs when you put your touch on the Jordan 1! Now, the Nigel Sylvester Jordan 1 Low Nitro will feature a simple muslin base and black overlays with red details. Simple, yet pretty dope. However, we don’t know much about the release beyond that the kicks might drop in Fall 2025. So just to be safe, keep it locked on our blog for more news!
Union LA x Jordan 1 High Chicago/Shadow
Now this one is definitely a release that absolutely nobody should miss out on. After experimenting with different silhouettes, it seems like Union LA decided to go back to where it started. Remember the iconic 2018 mashups? Well, we’re finally getting a third pair to go with them! This time, the Union LA x Jordan 1 High will feature a Chicago base with the Shadow collar. Talk about exciting releases! These babies will allegedly come out during Summer 2025 for $200. And if that ain’t enough, wait till you hear about the Fragment Design x Union LA x Jordan 1 High. But we’ll get to that later peeps!
Retros & Reimaginations
You can talk about the Jordan Brand 40th anniversary without expecting classics to make reappearances. And you guys, they did not disappoint!
Jordan 1 High Black Toe Reimagined
First off, we have the Jordan 1 High Black toe reimagined. The classic colorway is coming just as we know and love it, with a lil twist. Instead of the Wings logo that we know and love, we’re getting the “Air Jordan” typed on the collar! We covered all the design details here if you wanna know more. Did you know that these babies were supposed to drop in 2024 but got pushed to February 15, 2025? Seems fitting, to celebrate the Jordan Brand 40th anniversary! These babies will retail for the usual $180, and you don’t wanna miss them.
Jordan 1 High Bred
Do we really need to explain why these babies are arguably the most-awaited drop on this list? The Breds are where everything started and where the legacy had its first building block. Interestingly enough, the kicks will drop on February 14, 2025, for $250. If that’s not the ultimate Valentine’s Day gift from the brand to show us love, we don’t know what is!
Jordan 1 High Royal
Another OG is set to make a comeback this year alongside the Breds, and it’s the Jordan 1 High Royal! The blue and black pair is iconic in its own right although MJ never really wore them in his NBA seasons. Although the release details are still foggy, the kicks are certainly a retro that we’re looking forward to!
Jordan 1 High UNC Reimagined
If you scrolled this far, then you definitely know your sneaker history. And you definitely know why the Jordan 1 High UNC Reimagined is a pretty big deal! Although the “reimagined” twist is still unknown, we can’t wait to see what JB has in store for us. You see, all the takes the brand did so far were pretty successful and good-looking. Now, rumor has it that these babies will drop during Summer 2025, so keep that in mind!
Jordan 1 High Shattered Backboard
Last but not least, the legendary SBB with its legendary backstory is coming back to celebrate four decades of Js! The Jordan 1 Shattered Backboard first (and last) came out in 2015. Since then, we got cool variations of it, but they never hit the same as the originals. And it’s just fitting to get these babies this year to commemorate their 10th anniversary too! So keep an eye out for more details soon.
