The Virgil Abloh Archive x Air Jordan 1 High OG "Alaska" pushes the Off White legacy into a new chapter. Early on foot images make the pair feel real, even if the rumored spring release still feels shaky.
The design brings back a lot of the language that shaped Virgil’s original Jordan 1 work. It mixes deconstruction, transparency, and those little coded details that always made his projects stand out.
The "Alaska" theme leans into a colder palette, so the shoe carries that frozen look without losing the familiar Off White edge. The Air Jordan 1 remains one of the most important sneakers ever made. Every generation finds its way back to it because the shape works with almost anything.
Virgil understood that better than most. His reworked AJ1 models helped bridge high fashion and streetwear and shifted the way people saw collaborations. This new Alaska version shows how strong that influence still is. Even after his passing, the ideas he set in motion continue to evolve.
On foot photos show the pair in a clean white and icy blue mix with exposed panels and signature text placement. The zip tie lands in a soft blue shade that fits the theme. The images show how light the shoe feels and set up a closer look at the finer details once Nike gives a firm release date.

The "Alaska" pair uses layers and translucent pieces to build that frosted look. The upper blends smooth leather, mesh, and suede, giving the shoe a chilled tone without feeling flat.
The blue tint on the panels shifts depending on lighting, which adds depth when worn. The exposed foam tongue stays true to Virgil’s original cuts. The Off White text sits on the medial side in a darker blue, so it stands out just enough.
The pale midsole finishes the look and gives the shoe a slightly aged feel. It all comes together in a way that feels familiar but still fresh.
Sneaker Bar Detroit reports that the Off-White x Air Jordan 1 High OG “Alaska” will be released in the spring of 2026. Also, the retail price of the sneakers will be $195 when they drop.
