Sometimes an idea is strong, but it just needs a little ironing out. After announcing a Medium Olive colorway of the Air Jordan 1 High for 2024, the shoe was scrapped from last year’s Holiday lineup without a makeup date. Unfortunately for fans of olive Jordans, it looked like the dark green 1s were off the menu for good. Now, looking ahead to 2026, new images have surfaced of a familiar olive and white Jordan 1, this time in a low-top construction.
The Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG Medium Olive features military green panels on the toe, laces, and heel, with white leather on the toebox, tongue, and side panels, plus a black Swoosh and laces. The midsole is off-white with even more olive on the outsole, giving the Jordan 1 Low the same color blocking as the high-top version expected and subsequently cancelled last year.

In a retro catalog full of iconic colors, Jordan’s olive tone has been used on a handful of classics, from 9s and 5s to the newly retroed UNDEFEATED 4s and of course, in Jordan 1 Low form by way of Travis Scott. Recently, Jordan Brand has brought the olive makeup to newer models like the Air Jordan 40 and the MVP 92.
The Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG Medium Olive will be released Spring 2026 through Nike and select Jordan retailers in-store and online. Available in men’s and grade school sizing, the retail prices are set at $145 for adult sizes and $120 for GS.
