The Air Jordan 1 Low Gets Pine Green in Full OG Trim

Pine Green has a long history on the Air Jordan 1, and until this year all of it happened above the ankle. The Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG “Phantom and Pine Green” released June 6 in both adult and grade school sizing, and it is the first time the color has been given a low-top in genuine OG trim rather than a standard Low makeover. Three months on, it is also a useful case study in what Jordan Brand’s retro business looks like right now.

The Low’s origins get miswritten constantly, and Nike is part of the reason. The brand’s own Air Jordan 1 history page covers the high-top exclusively and does not acknowledge a low-top at all, which leaves the field to whoever guesses loudest. The better reading is that the Low belonged to the original run rather than arriving later as a spin-off: archival colorway records place a White and Natural Grey low and a White and Metallic Blue low in 1985, alongside the high-tops and the canvas AJKO. That framing is well supported without being brand-confirmed, so it is worth stating as the archive has it rather than asserting a launch month. What is not in doubt is that the Low spent decades as the overlooked member of the Air Jordan 1 family before the last few years turned it into the volume seller.

This one is OG spec and not the standard Low, which matters because the two share a name and very little else. The tongue carries a Nike Air label, the heel carries the embroidered Wings logo, and the midsole sits on an encapsulated Air-Sole unit and a gum rubber outsole. The base is an off-white tumbled leather Nike calls Phantom, the overlays are a textured black leather, and the Swoosh is pine green pebbled leather with a smaller embroidered pine green Swoosh at the toe. Laces and insole follow the same green. Pine Green itself has two well-known Air Jordan 1 predecessors, both highs: the 2018 Retro High OG in Pine Green, Sail and Black, style 555088-302, and the 2020 follow-up in black, white and pine green, style 555088-030, which is the pair most people picture when the color comes up. Neither had a low-top OG counterpart until now. Nike’s internal colorway strings differ between the size runs, which is a small tell that these are separate builds: the grade school pair reads Phantom/Black/Multi-Color/Pine Green, the adult pair reads Phantom/Black/Black/Pine Green.

The interesting part is what happened after launch. Multiple retailers ran this as a limited edition launch with one-pair-per-customer limits. Those limits did not reflect the demand that followed. DTLR now lists the grade school pair at $79.98, a third under its own list price, with the full 3.5 to 7 size run still in stock. ShopWSS has it at $89.98. On the resale side the adult pair has a three-month average sale around $93 against a $150 retail, with a lowest ask near $65. That is a shoe trading at roughly a third under retail while sitting on shelves. It reads as one small piece of a larger picture: Jordan Brand revenue came in at $7.3 billion for the fiscal year, down 16 percent, with saturation in the retro business cited as a driver. Purchase limits on an Air Jordan 1 Low are now a formality rather than a signal.

Retail is $120 for the grade school pair, IR2300-030, and $150 for the adult pair, IR2283-030. Both figures come from Nike’s own product pages, and they are worth stating carefully because the secondary reporting got this wrong in two directions. NiceKicks published $145 across the board, which matches neither. JustFreshKicks published $150 for adult and grade school alike, which is correct for one and thirty dollars high for the other. Sneaker Bar Detroit had it right. The $150 adult figure is also a reminder that Air Jordan 1 Low OG pricing has moved up, since $140 was the going rate not long ago.

The pair released June 6 in both size runs, grade school as IR2300-030 at $120 and adult as IR2283-030 at $150. One caution for anyone checking the source: Nike’s product page still renders pre-release language and its SNKRS launch page now returns a 404, so the brand’s own surface makes a released shoe look upcoming. Retail stock and resale history settle it. Stock remains at DTLR, ShopWSS and Lapstone & Hammer, much of it discounted. More Jordan coverage sits in our Nike archive, and the Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Howard” is the other low-top OG worth comparing this one against.
