Air Jordan 1 High x Virgil Abloh Archives Release Information The release of the Air Jordan 1 High OG x V.A.A. "Alaska" colorway marks a significant moment in the legacy of Virgil Abloh, the late designer and artist whose work continues to resonate deeply with fans and the fashion world. The collaboration between the Virgil Abloh Archive (V.A.A.) and Jordan Brand is set to debut on April 3, offering a tribute to Abloh’s iconic design philosophy and his enduring influence on sneaker culture. The sneakers, priced at $230 for adult sizes, will be available for purchase online at Nike.com and select retailers, though experts predict they will sell out swiftly. Resale platforms like StockX and GOAT will likely become the go-to options for those who miss the initial release, with current resale prices hovering around $686 on StockX and expected to rise over time. The "Alaska" colorway features a minimalist yet striking design, with a pristine all-white upper constructed from deconstructed leather. The semi-detached panels are secured with exposed blue stitching, a detail that nods to Abloh’s signature deconstructivist aesthetic. The iconic Nike Swoosh logo is prominently displayed, while the "Nike Air" branding appears in orange, positioned off-center on the elongated exposed-foam tongue. The medial side panels prominently showcase the Off-White branding, a hallmark of Abloh’s creative identity. A subtle nod to the shoe’s historical significance is the block-lettering "AIR" across the lateral side of the midsoles, a design choice that reflects Abloh’s fascination with the concept of air as both a literal and metaphorical element. The sneakers come with a variety of laces—blue, black, and purple—as well as a blue zip tie and a V.A.A. booklet, adding to their collectible appeal.#nike #jordan_brand #stockx #virgil_abloh #virgil_abloh_archive
