Air Jordan 1 Low 85 "Royal" IB1981-004

The Air Jordan 1 Low 85 “Royal” returns with a faithful nod to its original 1985 roots, just in time to mark the 40th anniversary of the iconic Air Jordan line. While Michael Jordan never sported this colourway on the NBA court, the “Royal” remains a standout in the AJ1 catalogue. Its bold, contrasting hues have long been a favourite, deviating from the typical Chicago Bulls-inspired colour schemes.

This release features a premium black leather upper, paired with vibrant varsity royal accents on the perforated toe box, Swoosh, and heel. The look is rounded off with a woven Nike Air label on the nylon tongue and a printed sockliner for added detail. On the heel, the iconic Wings logo—designed by Peter Moore—reminds fans of the GOAT’s high-flying dominance on the court.

Underfoot, an aged midsole gives the sneaker a subtle vintage touch, while the royal blue rubber outsole delivers traction and durability. An encapsulated Air unit in the heel ensures all-day comfort, staying true to the performance features that made the Air Jordan 1 a game-changer in the first place.

Whether you’re a long-time collector or looking to add your first pair, this drop is one you won’t want to miss. Check our Air Jordan 1 size guide to find your perfect fit.
