If you missed out on 2013’s release of the Varsity Royal Air Jordan 1, Jordan Brand is giving you a chance for redemption. Well, sort of. The sneaker’s extremely high top version, the Air Jordan 1 Retro Ultra High, is getting a new release that’s very reminiscent of the iconic colorway.
In similar fashion to the Varsity Royal 1s this pair utilies a mostly black upper, which consists of wool construction rather than the full-grain leather we’re used to. The toe and heel have received a Sport Royal canvas material, which also uses a hint to black to add some extra personality. Instead of going with a solid swoosh, the essential graphic has been outlined in Sport Royal, finished off with black wool. Black laces and a matching bootie complete the upper, while the sole is molded in blue and white.
The release date for the Air Jordan 1 Retro Ultra High Sport Royal colorway remains unknown, but it’s expected that the sneaker will make it into Jordan Brand’s Holiday 2016 lineup. Most like, it will retail for $150. Stay tuned for more information.
