Yo, so Jordan Brand really went wild with this one for the ladies. These Ruby 1s? Nah, they ain’t regular. This that serious drip—the kind you lace up when you tryna remind folks why you even started collectin’ Js in the first place.
If you don’t know the “Bred Toe,” go do your homework. That colorway dropped back in 2018 and instantly became a classic. It mixed the “Banned” and “Black Toe” vibes—two of the most iconic AJ1s ever—and made something fresh. Now the Ruby takes that same layout and evolves it. Like a Pokémon level-up—shinier, tougher, and all grown up.
Let’s not act like the Jordan 1 High ain't still king in these streets. Designed by Peter Moore in ’85, and four decades later it’s still runnin’ the game. MJ rocked the black and red joints and got fined by the league for it. Now? That same outlaw energy is why folks line up just to get a piece of that legacy.
And this year—it hits different. 2025 marks 40 years of Jordan Brand, and if you didn’t know, ruby is the gemstone for 40-year anniversaries. So this ain’t just another red AJ1—they tellin’ a whole story through these kicks. It’s legacy and energy stitched into leather and shine.
Now yeah, the Mids dropped first—April 20th—and they were alright. Same ruby red cracked leather vibe, but they didn’t bring the same heat. No 3D Wings badge, no real punch behind the design. Honestly? They felt more like a love letter to Valentine’s Day than a straight-up homage to Jordan greatness.
The Mid “Ruby” was the teaser.
The High OG “Ruby”? That’s the main event. Straight up.
First Look: Straight Up Pressure
You ever seen leather that looks like it’s about to crack from bein’ too icy? That’s exactly what’s goin’ on here. They hit the toe box, collar, and heel with this red crackled, foil-style leather that gives off straight gemstone vibes. Not your average red either—this is varsity red with a shine that hits different under sunlight.
They kept the rest classic: black Swoosh, white side panels, red outsole, and a crisp white midsole. And that Wings logo? Not printed, not stamped—it's a raised 3D piece. Real hardware. Sits on the collar like it means business.
