[Update 21 Jan 2025] According to Complex, the release of the highly anticipated Air Jordan 1 High ’85 “Bred” is purportedly limited to only 10,000 units. However, this hasn’t been officially confirmed by Jordan Brand.

Further contributing to the exclusivity of this pair is the fact that it will be dropped at only 23 select Nike “neighborhood” retailers in the US. The exact list of participating stores hasn’t yet been announced. Some of these store-exclusive releases will take place on 7 February—a week earlier than the official release date, slated to be on 14 February 2025.

Expect the Air Jordan 1 High ’85 “Bred” (2025) to be available in men’s and TD sizes, with a retail price tag of US$250—a valuation justified by the use of premium materials and special packaging designed to commemorate the shoe’s 40th anniversary.

First released in 1985, the iconic “Bred” colorway of the Nike Air Jordan 1 High has remained in the pantheon of footwear in the four decades since. The archetypal silhouette’s Black and Varsity Red palette symbolized rebellion and style, further propelled by the apocryphal story of it being banned by the NBA for violating uniform regulations.

The rumor mill has the Nike Air Jordan 1 High ’85 “Bred” returning in Spring 2025, in lieu of its 40th anniversary. The retro release promises to be a faithful recreation of the original, in contrast to the “Reimagined” motif employed in recent years.

The taller silhouette with a larger Swoosh stays true to its 1985 build, differentiating it from its Retro High OG counterpart. A White midsole rounds out the aesthetic, with each pair of the Nike Air Jordan 1 High ’85 “Bred” arriving with extra laces and a hangtag.
