Nigel Sylvester has had a busy several years when it comes to collaborations with Jordan Brand. He helped get the Air Jordan 4 RM off the ground by dropping two collaborations. Furthermore, in 2025, the Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 4 will be released. However, he has another project. He will release his own Air Jordan 1 Low OG for the first time.
We first saw a collaboration with the brand and the professional BMXer in 2018. The outcome was the Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 1 High OG in Sail. Fast forward to 2022, and a sample pair in Black was gifted to him and, sadly, wouldn’t make a retail release.
This Air Jordan 1 Low is dressed in a Black, Muslin, and Varsity Red color scheme. Our sources have confirmed the shoes will resemble Nigel’s 2022 sample pair. Featuring Black leather on the upper with a mixture of White and Sail on the Swoosh, midsole, Wings, tongue, and laces. In addition, the pair will feature scuff marks, while the Red outsole will come aged.
