Updated February 27th, 2025: Official images of the Air Jordan 1 Low ’85 “Royal” have surfaced. Earlier in February, select retailers across the globe released the shoes. There is no information regarding a future release on SNKRS or at wider retailers.












The energy surrounding the Air Jordan 1 has reached a three-year high thanks to the brand’s relentless “Unbannable” offense, but will that hype filter into the rest of 2025’s sneaker releases? One drop to keep an eye out on is the Air Jordan 1 Low ’85 “Royal”, a sneaker that is set to arrive sooner than you think.
Last October, trusted Jordan release dates sources confirmed that this original 1985 release was scrapped. However, images of the shoes emerged via Size?, a retailer based in the UK. However, Spain’s Sivasdescalzo now reports a release date of February 22nd, suggesting that this Air Jordan 1 could possibly be exclusive to the Europe market for now.
Currently, Jordan Brand has the Air Jordan 3 “Lucky Shorts” on its drop calendar for February 22nd. This doesn’t rule out a US drop on that same date, but it seems unlikely. Instead, we can only hope that the Jumpman has plans of unleashing these to the US market somewhere down the line.
For now, enjoy this updated, detailed look at the Air Jordan 1 Low ’85 “Royal” and stay tuned for updates.
