The Air Jordan 1 High ’85 “Bred” is Returning in Special Version

The release date for the Air Jordan 1 High ’85 SP Black Varsity Red White is expected for Holiday 2025, wrapped in a bold Black/Varsity Red-White colorway that instantly nods to Jordan heritage. But here’s the thing—this isn’t just another retro. It’s not a restock of the Air Jordan 1 High ’85 “Bred” that dropped back in February 2025. Instead, this pair is being teased as a Special Version—or maybe even a collaboration. As of now, it’s all under wraps.

Still, that hasn’t stopped the buzz. The Air Jordan 1 High ’85 SP Black Varsity Red White feels familiar but mysterious. It holds on to that iconic black and red combo that screams “Chicago roots,” yet there’s something a little different in the details—subtle shifts in shape, textures, or maybe even branding. It’s the kind of sneaker that makes you squint and go, “Wait, what’s new here?” And that intrigue is half the magic.

Given the “SP” tag and a $250 price point, this isn’t your average GR. Nike’s clearly positioning it as something special—possibly premium materials, maybe storytelling tied to MJ’s legacy, or even a surprise partner. Fans who missed out on the ‘Bred’ earlier this year might think this is a second chance—but sneaker insiders know this is its own moment.

Whether you’re collecting or just rocking them with pride, this is a holiday drop that deserves a spotlight.
