We got a dope KoF Live for you today! Jordan Brand just lit up our mailbox with an early look at the upcoming Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG RE2PECT. Did you have no idea that these we’re dropping this weekend? Well, it’s a good thing you tuned it to KicksOnFire today then, huh? You know we always got you covered! Set to drop this weekend, let’s see what these Jordan 1 Highs are all about.
The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG RE2PECT will be the latest addition to the Jordan Brand RE2PECT Collection. What began as a moment to honor Derek Jeter’s storied career has now evolved into a mindset shared by Jordan Brand athletes across the world: RE2PECT. With that being said, expect future additions to the RE2PECT Collection to not always be New York Yankee inspired. Although the shoes still pay tribute to Derek Jeter, the overall brand mentality has definitely evolved. Now, on to the shoe.



Although the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG RE2PECT appears to comes dressed in a simple Black and White color scheme, there is much more to this sneaker than meets the eye. As you can see by the images provided, the Black panels on the leather upper are done in 3M reflective fashion. So when flash hits the shoe, inspiring and motivating words such as “FOCUS”, “LEAD”, “RE2PECT”, “PASSION”, “DISCIPLINE” and “FEARLESS” are unveiled. Additionally, the shoe is given added flair by way of the Jumpman RE2PECT branding on theinsoles and the iconic Nike Air branding on the tongue.



The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG RE2PECT is subtle and versatile enough to wear on a daily basis but also comes packed with some extra added oomph just in case you feel like flexing on ’em one time for the one time, ha! It may not have ties to New York or even be Yankee inspired, but the RE2PECT mindset on the shoe is still in full effect and we can definitely get down with that.

Much love and RE2PECT (pun intended) to Jordan Brand for deciding to give KicksOnFire an exclusive early look at these bad boys. As always, we salute you!
