Jordan Brand is celebrating 40 years of the Air Jordan 1 in a bold and creative way. One of the most exciting drops this year is the Air Jordan 1 High OG “Self-Expression.” At first glance, it looks like an all-black sneaker — clean, classic, and simple. But here’s the twist: over time, the black layer wears away to reveal bright colors underneath.
This means the more you wear the shoe, the more it changes — showing off colors like red, royal blue, yellow, magenta, and white under the black paint. Each pair will look unique depending on how you wear them. It's designed to let sneakerheads express themselves without having to do any custom painting.
The upper is made of black leather with subtle muslin touches on the midsole. At the edges, you can already see peeks of the colors underneath, hinting at what’s to come as the paint fades. It’s a smart idea and perfect for the theme of “Self-Expression” — allowing every pair to tell a different story.
After a few delays, the release date is finally locked in. So if you love the idea of a sneaker that evolves with you, this one should be at the top of your list.
