The official images of the shoes have been revealed on the Nike SNKRS website. The sneakers feature a Summit White / Photon Dust / Barely Green / Summit White colorway. The shoes follow a similar AJ 1 silhouette.

The Air Jordan 1 Low "LNY" sneakers are made from premium leather that accentuates the quality of the shoes. The upper is made of Summit White premium leather with grey overlays. The colorway of the 2025 sneakers is tamer compared to the 2024 Year of the Dragon sneakers.
