Bandai Namco and Jordan Brand are starting a nostalgic commemoration by launching a new series of collectibles focusing on the Air Jordan 1 High ’85. As the Air Jordan 1 celebrates its 40th anniversary, this partnership unveils large-scale plastic models of the renowned “Shadow” and Japan-exclusive “Reverse Shadow” color schemes. Even though these aren’t wearable, these high-quality replicas will be accessible in the U.S., providing sneaker enthusiasts an eye-catching collectible piece.
As a gamer, I’m super excited to share that Japan-based fans can now get their hands on a limited-edition gacha release! It’s all about miniature Air Jordan 1 Hi ’85 sneakers in 18 unique colorways. Eighteen! Can you believe it? Out of these, sixteen are replicas of classic releases, while the remaining two colorways remain a secret, possibly including the elusive “Reverse Shadow” and another rare or never-before-seen variant. Keep your fingers crossed, we might just uncover something special!
Starting from July 30, you can place your pre-orders for the collaborative Bandai Namco x Jordan Brand Air Jordan 1 Hi (’85) display models. The mini-figures from the gacha collection will be officially available in stores across Japan starting October, with online reservations opening August 7 and deliveries expected by December.
