When you think of sneakers with a lot of history, the Air Jordan 1 should immediately come to mind. This was Michael Jordan‘s first-ever signature shoe from all the way back in 1985 and when it first dropped, there were a ton of OG colorways. One of the models that everyone remembers is the “Neutral Grey” offering which had a mostly white upper and grey Nike swoosh. It’s a model that fans have been begging for a retro of and next year, they might just get their wish.

According to @zsneakerheadz, the “Neutral Grey” model will be making its return in 2021 and will be receiving and High ’85 interpretation. For those who don’t know, the High ’85 is an alternative to the High OG that pays homage to the original silhouette of the shoe. We have received two High ’85 models thus far and this “Neutral Grey” retro would be the third.

An exact release date for these has not yet been determined although most people expect them to drop during the early stages of the year. Also, this shoe is going to cost $200 USD which is pretty expensive for an Air Jordan 1.
