With the holiday season right around the corner, Nike‘s Jordan Brand has released six new collaborations of the iconic Air Jordan 1 as part of the new “Fearless Ones” collection. The Fearless collaborators include designer Melody Ehsani, New York’s culinary collective Ghetto Gastro, Los Angeles-based artist Blue the Great, cutting edge Japanese brand FACETASM, Parisian lifestyle brand Maison Château Rogue, and CLOT founder Edison Chen.
The collaborative line starts off with Ehsani’s mismatched pair of women’s-exclusive Air Jordan 1 Mid SE where the midsole reads: “IF YOU KNEW WHAT YOU HAD WAS RARE, YOU WOULD NEVER WASTE IT.” Gastro’s Air Jordan 1 Low React design was inspired by unity and the streets of New York City, while Blue the Great’s Air Jordan 1 Mid SE arrives in primary colors in a suede and corduroy upper.
FACETASM’s AJ1’s layout takes inspiration from Tokyo and features the label’s signature crinkled look. Maison Château Rogue’s silhouette applies African-inspired design cues along with hand-stitched details in honor of its founder’s origins. Finally, Chen’s sneaker has been incorporated with a woven nylon upper and a Chinese token-inspired design detail that spells out “Jordan.”
The six collaborations will be available on different release dates which have been listed below. For more Nike-related news, be sure to check out Cactus Plant Flea Market’s upcoming Nike collection.

Continuing to craft new takes on the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG, Jordan Brand is now prepping a new take on the popular “Shattered Backboard” color scheme. Serving as the third iteration on the “Black/Orange” AJ1 look, the upcoming colorway once again pays homage to Michael Jordan’s iconic dunk during a 1985 overseas exhibition game that left the backboard in pieces.
The “Shattered Backboard 3.0” is centered around a wrinkled patent leather construction with a black base accented by orange overlays and perforated toe boxes. Branding comes in the form of contrast midfoot Swooshes, Wing motifs at the ankle, “Nike Air” tongue tags and printed insoles. Rounding up the design of the shoe is a vintage-tinged off white midsole paired with a black rubber outsole.
Priced at $160 USD, the Air Jordan 1 “Shattered Backboard 3.0” is set to release on nike.com and select Jordan Brand retailers October 26
The Seattle SuperSonics haven’t been an NBA franchise since 2008 when the team became the Oklahoma City Thunder, but their legacy still lives on. For Jordan brand’s latest retro, it’s re-releasing the Air Jordan 10 “Seattle” for the first time since Nike released its very first City Pack series in 1995. Nearly 25 years later, the sneaker returns as a rich tribute to the Sonics era. On Stock X, the sneakers has currently amassed an average price of $198 USD.
In 1995, Seattle SuperSonics shooting guard Kendall Gill was the first to notably rock a player exclusive version of the shoe on court. As expected, the colorway on the re-released style is representative of the now defunct team. The sneaker remains true to the original, sporting a clean white leather upper, black detailing along the midsole, throat and collar with a renamed “Court Green” accenting the shoe’s outsole and inner liner. A black Jumpman label sits stitched on the heel while a yellow Jumpman on the outsole is the finishing detail on the Seattle-themed footwear.
The Air Jordan 10 Retro “Seattle” is one of the last remaining OG Jordans to receive a retro so it would be wise to jump on this one early. Head over to StockX now to secure the Air Jordan 10 “Seattle” kicks before they drop. The lowest ask currently sits at $185 USD.
