The Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Howard University” PE is a significant release, marking the first collaboration between an HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) and Jordan Brand that will be available to the public. This special edition sneaker was initially given to Howard Bison’s basketball team in 2023 and is now set for a public release, symbolizing a groundbreaking moment in the intersection of HBCU pride and iconic sneaker culture.
The sneaker features a White premium suede base with cracked Red overlays and Navy safari-textured Swooshes, reflecting Howard University’s team colors. The design is further enhanced on this Air Jordan 1 with quilted satin liners, the Bison’s logo on the insoles, and mini embroidered Swooshes on the lateral forefoot. A Sail midsole on a Light Gum rubber outsole completes the look, bringing a piece of Howard University’s legacy to sneaker enthusiasts worldwide.
