Sneaker enthusiasts and collectors are patiently waiting for the highly rumored Off-White x Air Jordan 1 High OG "Alaska" which is promised to hit the shelves for the 2025 Holiday season.

These shoes, just like the designs from the late Virgil Abloh; are completely deconstructed for sneaker art. The Air Jordan 1 is among the most historic sneakers in culture, and collaborations between Off-White and Nike have been among the most demanded. This release is also for the 40th anniversary of Jordan Brand. As reported, the shoe is coming in an all-white color; which could also be a reference to a very limited sample pair Abloh presented in 2020.

With limited information; speculation is on the rise regarding the materials, features, and availability of this pair.

Here's everything we know so far about the design, expected release; and what this collaboration means for the sneaker world.


Design speculations of the Off-White x Air Jordan 1 High OG “Alaska” sneakers

There have been no official releases for images of the Off-White x Air Jordan 1 High OG "Alaska". Based on preliminary information; however, this design would come off a design taken from the all-white sample pair, which Virgil Abloh leaked back in 2020. It would also appear later on display in the ICA Boston exhibit to seal off exclusivity.

This shoe will remain within Off-White's characteristic deconstructed form. Key features will probably be:

  • Exposed foam layers on the vamp, quarter panels, and collar give off a raw; unfinished look.
  • A large Swoosh is applied to the lateral sidewall that drapes over the forefoot overlay and leather foxing. It is reminiscent of Off-White's earlier Air Jordan 1 designs.
  • Industrial-style branding that features Off-White's signature Helvetica text on the medial side, indicating the shoe's origin and production.
  • Pre-yellowed midsoles, which might give the sneaker a vintage aesthetic; are a common trend in recent Jordan Brand collaborations.

The winter-themed name "Alaska" may bring some subtle icy blue details or premium textured materials, but that is still just speculation.


Release details of the Off-White x Air Jordan 1 High OG “Alaska” sneakers

The Off-White x Air Jordan 1 High OG "Alaska" will be available in the Holiday of 2025. The retail price is estimated at $250; which is equivalent to previous Off-White x Jordan drops.

As is often the case for high-profile sneaker releases, this shoe is expected to hit the market via:

  • Nike SNKRS app (supply and raffle basis)
  • Select Jordan Brand retailers
  • Off-White's official website

Given the high demand for previous Off-White x Nike drops, this particular model is sure to sell out soon. For sneakerheads looking forward to more updates on raffles or early access; there's good news: all such information can be found through official Nike and Off-White channels.


Legacy of the Off-White x Air Jordan collaboration

Virgil Abloh is very sure to touch sneakers. Beginning the partnership of collaboration with Nike in 2017 by unveiling "The Ten" series that blended philosophy between high-fashion with street wear's aesthetic language, Jordan 1 stood amongst the many favorite silhouettes in history within the sport's footwear and sneaker market.

The previous Off-White x Air Jordan 1 colorways, like "Chicago," "UNC," and "White," have remained extremely valuable in the resale market. Each of these models featured Abloh's signature approach to exposure stitching, text-based branding, and unique placement of traditional elements.

The "Alaska" continues this legacy by celebrating Off-White's impact on the sneaker world and Jordan Brand's history. The all-white colorway has been rumored; if true, this may serve as a veiled nod to purity and innovation brought to footwear design by Abloh.


One of the most hyped and major sneaker drops for 2025 would probably be the Off-White x Air Jordan 1 High OG "Alaska". Limited information; as well as actual images, have been seen yet; but early reports said that this piece will retain everything about Off-White's standard design but sport a new fresh all-white look.

Expected to drop in September Holiday 2025 at a retail price of $250; this release promises to be the most sought-after. As more details about the shoe are leaked, sneaker enthusiasts will want to stay locked onto Nike; Off-White, and Jordan Brand through their official channels for the release date and when they can purchase them.
