Jordan Brand has released a variety of colorways for Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG W, including both classic and new color schemes.

AJ 1 Retro High OG W "Praline" is a women's exclusive sneaker set to be released on September 13, 2023. The shoe is expected to be available at select Air Jordan 1 retailers and online.

The shoe is composed of a mix of materials, including suede, leather, and satin, and features a colorway inspired by praline candy. It is set to retail for $180 USD.

The overlay and the Swoosh are wrapped in a natural-colored, high-quality leather that gives the pair the appearance of elegance. The shoe's underfoot is constructed completely of white material. It not only echoes the branding seen elsewhere but also works well with the "Sail" finish that can be seen on the midsole below.

The customary flat laces that are seen on the silhouette have been omitted in favor of a raised ribbon that resembles satin.

Sneakerheads can keep an eye on Nike's official store to grab a pair of the upcoming women's exclusive AJ 1 High.
