The Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG Enrolls at Howard University

The upcoming Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG “Howard University” brings collegiate pride to the sneaker scene in a big way. Inspired by a 2023 Player-Exclusive Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG made for the Howard University basketball team, this version is the first time fans will have a chance to get their hands on the design. With a nod to the rich legacy of one of the nation’s most prestigious HBCUs, this release is a must-have for both sneakerheads and Bison faithful alike.

Howard University’s exclusive partnership with Jordan Brand has resulted in some of the most coveted PE designs, including the aforementioned Air Jordan 1 Low. This upcoming release pays homage to that design while ensuring the school’s spirit lives on through every detail.

Crafted with premium materials, the Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG "Howard University" is dressed in the school's iconic colors of white, “Gym Red,” and “Midnight Navy.” The leather upper offers a timeless contrast, with crisp white acting as the base. “Gym Red” overlays accentuate the sneaker, while “Midnight Navy” adds depth to the color palette.

Mini-Swoosh logos are embroidered on the lateral mudguards, echoing the exclusive design elements from the PE version. Tying the look together, the sneaker features “Sail” rubber midsoles for a vintage, well-loved vibe, and “Midnight Navy” rubber outsoles for durability and grip.

Need a pair? The Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG "Howard University" will be available on Saturday, October 12th, in-store and online at DTLR.com for $140.
