Swarovski partnered with Jordan Brand on the Air Jordan 1 High OG, applying crystal detailing that uses light, texture, and repetition to reshape how the sneaker reads on the foot. The Austrian crystal house has applied this approach across footwear, using contrast between crystal surfaces and sport-driven forms to shift how familiar silhouettes register. Earlier this year, Swarovski marked the 40th anniversary of the Air Jordan 1 with Jordan Brand through a low-top interpretation of the “Shadow” colorway, focusing on surface treatment rather than structural change.

That collaboration now expands into a new chapter with the Swarovski x Air Jordan 1 High OG. The upcoming release shifts from low to high while refining the overall approach. Early images point to a controlled “Vast Grey” color scheme that places material and finish above contrast or color play.
The sneaker arrives dressed in Vast Grey, Vast Grey, and Photon Dust, creating a muted base that allows the crystal application to define the shoe’s character. Swarovski distributes the crystals across the upper in irregular, organically shaped sections rather than rigid grids. This approach introduces variation across panels and avoids repetition, giving the surface a softer rhythm than the earlier low-top release. Rather than applying shine uniformly, the design relies on contrast between matte leather areas and light-responsive crystal fields.
Swarovski and Jordan Brand also extend the concept beyond the sneaker itself. Each pair includes premium packaging designed to mirror the care put into the shoe. Dustbags accompany the release, along with a special collaborative chain that reinforces the partnership’s identity.
At the time of writing, neither Swarovski nor Jordan Brand has issued an official announcement for the Vast Grey Air Jordan 1 High OG. The pair currently carries a Spring 2026 release window and will arrive in women’s sizing. The listed retail price stands at $1,005 USD, reflecting both the material treatment and the scale of the collaboration.
The release will be available through Nike channels, with further details expected closer to launch. An official image set has yet to surface, though early looks point to a project defined by restrained color and crystal placement.
