Name: Virgil Abloh Archive x Air Jordan 1 High OG “Alaska”
Colorway: White/White
SKU: AA3834-100
MSRP: $195 USD
Release Date: Spring 2026
Where to Buy: Nike

The sneaker world is buzzing after streetwear icon Hiroshi Fujiwara took to social media to reveal a sneak peek of the highly anticipated Virgil Abloh Archive x Air Jordan 1 High OG “Alaska.” This rumored release is not just a revival; it marks a significant new chapter in Virgil Abloh‘s posthumous partnership with Nike.

The “Alaska” colorway, previously known as the “Euro” exclusive from 2018, is set for a Spring 2026 launch. It’s an updated take on the deconstructed white-on-white silhouette that originally captivated collectors as part of Abloh’s groundbreaking “The Ten” series. Fujiwara’s reveal showcased the most crucial update: the medial side now features a stamp of “V.A.A. for Nike,” officially replacing the original “Off-White for Nike” text. This shift solidifies the focus on Abloh’s legacy through his creative archives.

Often referred to as “Alaska” for its icy, snow-reminiscent appearance, the shoe maintains all the iconic features that made the original a grail, including the exposed foam collar, industrial text, and the signature zip tie.

Coming on the heels of the recent Virgil Abloh: The Codes exhibition in Paris, this sneaker leak underscores the enduring influence of the late designer. The Virgil Abloh Archive x Air Jordan 1 “Alaska” is expected to be one of the most significant retro releases of 2026, offering a powerful, definitive piece of collaborative history.
