While the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Top Three” is set for a debut today, the boldly color-blocked kicks aren’t the only version of the G.O.A.T.’s original Swoosh-branded signature on tap for a release this week. Just a few short days away is this clean black and white rendition of the classic kicks. Opting for a monochromatic upper and contrasting white midsole, the design lets the materials do the talking and employs shiny patent leather — of both the smooth and cracked variety — throughout.

Capped off with a black rubber outsole, these Jordan 1s are set to hit spots like Sneaker Politics this Thursday, December 1, for $150 USD.
