More Info: Air Jordan Release Dates
Although the hype has died down for the Air Jordan 1, Jordan Brand will continue to drop new colorways of the High OG iteration. While there are still fans of the silhouette, momentum did shift towards the low-top iteration. However, we can expect new colorways in 2026, including the “Love The Game” Air Jordan 1 High OG, which could be part of the “For The Love of the Game” collection.
Jordan Brand introduced the “For the Love of the Game’ collection in 2010 with the release of the Air Jordan 7, Air Jordan 9, and the Air Jordan 2010 Outdoor. In 2019, we saw the debut of a grade school-exclusive Air Jordan 4. The collection pays homage to Michael Jordan’s love for basketball and features a heart-shaped basketball on the shoe. Mostly placed on the lateral side, with the exception of the Air Jordan 9.
Although initial details are slim on this Air Jordan 1 High OG, it will come dressed in Shadow Brown, Soft Pearl, Light British Tan, Pale Ivory, Muslin, and Team Red. As you can tell, it will come in various shades. While I haven’t seen the pair yet, we put together a Photoshop representation of what it could look like. Take note: this is not accurate, and what debuts is more likely to look different. If the shoes end up being part of the FTLOTG collection, expect a heart-shaped basketball to be placed somewhere.
