Everything You Need To Know About The Air Jordan 1 “Royal Reimagined”

2023-10-18

Updated October 17th, 2023: Nike SNKRS Exclusive Access for the Royal Reimagined Air Jordan 1 will be given out on October 19th, 2023. Those who entered and took an “L” for the Draw for the Air Jordan 3 “Reimagined” and “Air Jordan 1 “Patent Bred Reimagined” will qualify for Exclusive Access. A standard release is scheduled for November 4th, 2023.

'What began with the “Lost & Found” has since become a growing catalog of “Reimagined” icons. And following their experiments with the Air Jordan 3 “White Cement,” the Jumpman is now bringing their attention back to the Air Jordan 1 — specifically, its OG “Royal” colorway.

We first caught wind of the Air Jordan 1 “Royal Reimagined” at the tail end of 2022, with leakers reporting that a release would fall sometime during the Holiday 2023 season. And while “Reimagined” would typically lead us to expect the use of cracked leathers and aged, yellowed midsoles, we now know the collection to be much less predictable, as both the aforementioned pair as well as the Air Jordan 4 “Bred Reimagined” have gone in entirely different creative directions.

Despite its changes, the Air Jordan 1 “Royal Reimagined” is still relatively faithful to the original colorway. Its color blocking, for instance, is practically 1:1 with the OG, as royal blues and blacks alternate throughout the upper in the very same manner. The main distinction lies in the construction, which replaces the leather upper typical of the silhouette for one that consists almost entirely of suede.

Enjoy a detailed look at the Air Jordan 1 “Royal Reimagined” via the official retailer imagery shared ahead. Barring any notable delays, these should be available at Nike SNKRS as well as select retailers on November 4th.
