The “Green Glow” Air Jordan 1 Has More History Than You Think

At first glance, the “Green Glow” Air Jordan 1 High OG looks like a great alternative to 2017’s ultra-limited “Igloo” colorway that dropped during Art Basel. The pair was limited to 500 pairs and released alongside an equally rare “Rust Pink” makeup. 2017 was the beginning of the remarkable Air Jordan 1 run that lasted more than half a decade and only recently started slowing down. If you weren’t lucky enough to get a pair of the “Igloo” released exclusively via Social Status on a Yatch and don’t want to pay thousands of dollars for a pair, this “Green Glow” colorway is the perfect consolation prize.

In addition to being cousins to the “Igloo” pair, this AJ1 continues the legacy of the popular “Green Glow” colorway, which began with the Air Jordan 4 in 2013 and recently resurgenceed with the Air Jordan 3. The “Green Glow” is one of those non-OG colorways that developed an affinity from sneakerheads, so seeing it return on more silhouettes is a welcomed sight. The Air Jordan 1 “Green Glow” releases on April 20 at 7 AM PST for $180.
