While the much-buzzed LEGO x Nike collab still has collectors agog, BANDAI SPIRITS is making headlines of its own—by teaming up with Jordan Brand for a model kit release that’s set to get the hearts of both sneakerheads and hobbyists racing.

Launching as a meticulous homage to the Air Jordan legacy, the BANDAI SPIRITS x Air Jordan 1 High 85 Shadow & Reverse Shadow Model Kit isn’t just a display piece; it’s the result of unprecedented craftsmanship and passion for detail.

About the BANDAI SPIRITS x Air Jordan 1 High ’85 Shadow & Reverse Shadow Model Kit

Starting from the ground up, BANDAI SPIRITS conducted a 3D scan of an authentic Air Jordan 1 High, ensuring data precision and faithfulness in every curve and groove.

This kit lets enthusiasts assemble two of the most coveted colorways in the sneaker universe: the perennial favorite “Shadow” and the long-awaited “Reverse Shadow.” The parts arrive with a delicate micro-texture on their surface, perfectly replicating the tactile quality of real leather panels.

Even the laces and individual stitches have been sculpted with astonishing accuracy, proving that this isn’t your average model-building experience—it’s an invitation to appreciate the shoe’s design DNA up close.

No true sneaker release would be complete without a standout box, and here, BANDAI SPIRITS pays tribute with a packaging design that echoes the iconic Air Jordan shoe box every collector knows by heart.
