Nike's Premium Swooshless Jordan Sneaker Is Pure Quiet Luxury
Anything can happen for the Jordan Brand's 40th anniversary, even Swooshless Jordan sneakers.
That's right. Nike is reviving its Air Jordan 1 Low No Swoosh sneakers, which, as the name suggests, come Swoosh-free.
This shoe is arguably the Jordan 1 Low at its most minimalist, crafted with quietly luxe textured leather uppers (hold the Swoosh on the sidewalls).
There are some branding moments, though.
Specifically, you can see the Jordan Wings logo on the heel and classic Nike Air hit on the tongue.
However, even these bits of obvious branding are still extremely subtle, blending seamlessly into the quiet background of premium leather.
The Swooshless Jordan 1 Low shoes originally debuted in 2016, arriving in not just one but four colorways (all are expected to return in 2025, by the way). The sneakers would later return in 2017 through a KAWS collaboration.
KAWS' unreleased versions looked almost exactly like the general release pairs, with the same tumbled leather and all. On the collaborative pairs, however, KAWS" signature "XX" marked the spot on the heels. They also came with graphic insoles.
The OG Swooshless Jordan 1 Low sneakers are expected to drop later in 2025 on Nike's site. To be more specific, they're expected to release this fall, which is the perfect time for classy leather Jordans. Again, the Swoosh-free shoe looks to arrive in its original colors, including black, white, olive green, and pink.
Really, it's been a good year for not just classic Jordan 1 Low shoes but also its premium editions. After getting some Swarovski bling and a tasteful canvas makeover, Nike's fine Swooshless Jordan 1 Low makes a comeback to the game.
