Air Jordan 1 Low OG 'Xuanwu Year of The Snake'

The Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG “Xuanwu – Year of the Snake” draws from Chinese mythology, specifically the Xuanwu figure associated with the Black Tortoise, symbolizing protection, strength, and longevity. This narrative-driven design elevates the classic Jordan 1 Low into a more symbolic, culturally rich release.

The upper is dressed in a black base that sets a bold and grounded foundation, while metallic gold accents introduce a regal contrast throughout the silhouette. These gold details enhance key branding elements and design lines, giving the sneaker a ceremonial, almost ornamental presence without overwhelming its structure.

Staying true to the OG Air Jordan 1 Low blueprint, the shoe retains its familiar low-cut profile, layered panel construction, and heritage basketball DNA. The combination of smooth materials and refined detailing keeps the design balanced between everyday wearability and collector-focused storytelling.

What makes this release stand out is its fusion of mythological inspiration with Jordan Brand’s classic design language. The result is a sneaker that feels meaningful and elevated while remaining rooted in one of the most iconic silhouettes in sneaker history. The Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG “Xuanwu – Year of the Snake” released on December 27, 2025, with a retail price of $250.
