It's been said plenty of times before on this website but the Air Jordan 1 is easily one of if not the greatest shoe ever made. Michael Jordan debuted his inaugural sneaker all the way back in 1985 and over the last 35 years, the silhouette has become a cultural phenomenon. While there are plenty of OG colorways that are highly regarded by fans all around the world, Jumpman is always looking to expand the line and bring new offerings into the fold.

According to Instagram sneaker insider @zsneakerheadz, the Air Jordan 1 is about to get yet another new colorway in the Spring of 2021 which is already being nicknamed "Hyper Royal." As you can see, the actual base of the shoe is light smoke grey while the overlays and Nike swoosh are royal blue. We have seen plenty of royal blue models before but none that were paired with grey tones like this. While it may ring familiar, it's certainly a unique addition to the brand.
