Bandai Namco & Jordan Brand Connect on the Air Jordan 1

The worlds of collectables and sneakers meet again.

In May, Nike announced a multi-year partnership with Lego. Just last week, at SDCC, we were teased with what appears to be the latest project from .SWOOSH– a collaboration with Yu-Gi-Oh!

Now, it is Bandai Namco who is joining in on the fun. The brand has announced a partnership with Jordan Brand on model kits of the Air Jordan 1 High 85 Shadow and Reverse Shadows. The model kits will retail for $130 USD.

Additionally, Bandai will tap into the gotchapon craze. These miniature versions of the Air Jordan 1 Hi ’85 will drop in 18 colorways. That means there will be two surprise colorways along with the original colorways of the Air Jordan 1 High. For those unfamiliar, gotchapon figures release in mystery packaging- be it blind bags or from a bending machine.

The pre-orders for the Bandai Namco x Air Jordan 1 High ’85 models go live today at 10 PM EST via Bandai Namco. The gotchapon miniatures will launch in Japan in October, though reservations will open on August 7th for those in North America.

You can pre-order both the High 85′ models and the gotchapon mini’s now via the SoleSavy store. Both items are expected to ship later this year.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
