The Classic Rebirth

The return of the ‘Metallic Navy’ is a nod to the classic Metallic Blue Lows from 1985. Crafted with attention to the original design, the sneakers bear a slight intentional yellowing, a playful tribute to their age. A simple flex, the Air Jordan 1 Low 85 ‘Metallic Navy’ flaunts smooth white leather and shiny navy blue hints.

The Metallic Collection

The ‘Metallic Navy’ Jordans are a part of the iconic seven colorways from the 1985 metallic Jordan 1 series. Their debut year was a strong one, blessing us with historic colorways like “Chicago” and “Banned”. But the metallic collection is not to be forgotten. After all, the ‘Metallic Navy’ is the return of one of the eight iconic colorways if you count the navy low-tops.

First Glimpse

The Air Jordan 1 Low 85 ‘Metallic Navy’ made a surprise appearance in the hands of fragment designer Hiroshi Fujiwara in 2023, followed by official looks from Nike during the Spring 2024 reveal.
