Air Jordan 1 Retro High Virgil Abloh Archive Alaska (V.A.A.)

The Air Jordan 1 High OG x V.A.A. Alaska marks a new chapter in the creative legacy left by Virgil Abloh. Almost ten years after the revolutionary "The Ten" collection, this release represents one of the most anticipated collaborations of 2026, bringing back to center stage the silhouette that forever changed the relationship between sneakers, fashion, and contemporary design.

This model is the first global project officially linked to the Virgil Abloh Archive, which houses over 20,000 works and documents related to the designer's work across fashion, architecture, art, and culture. More than just a tribute, the sneaker continues the creative dialogue between Off-White and Jordan Brand, a collaboration that redefined how sneakers can tell stories through materials, details, and concepts.

The Air Jordan 1 always held a special meaning for Virgil Abloh. Growing up around Chicago, Abloh saw Michael Jordan as an almost mythical icon, a symbol of ambition and possibility. This emotional connection led him to choose the Jordan 1 as the first silhouette to deconstruct in his historic project with Nike, transforming it into one of the most influential models in modern sneaker culture.

The new Air Jordan 1 High Virgil Abloh Archive Alaska (V.A.A.) maintains the visual language that made Abloh's work famous: exposed foam tongue, orange tab on the Swoosh, and the "AIR" lettering on the midsole. The white leather upper with icy blue accents gives the sneaker a clean and futuristic aesthetic, which is why the community has already nicknamed it "Alaska." The launch will be accompanied by a series of V.A.A. World's Fair events organized in key cities of Abloh's career, including Chicago, Paris, London, New York, and Tokyo, celebrating his lasting impact on the world of design.
