The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG arrives in a women’s exclusive Nails and Grails colorway on September 2, 2026.
The Air Jordan 1 does not need an introduction as a silhouette, but the women’s exclusive program built on top of it has quietly become one of Jordan Brand’s more interesting release lanes. For most of the model’s life, women’s sizing meant a scaled-down version of a men’s colorway. That changed over the last several years, and the women’s Jordan 1 has turned into a place where the brand tests ideas it would never put on a general release.
This one is built around the nail salon. Shiny red patent covers the toe, lace panel, heel, and ankle, with white leather filling the toebox, side panels, and tongue. More red patent lands on the Swoosh to match the red outsole and tongue tag. A silver Wings logo sits on the lateral ankle, and exposed foam on the mid-tongue lace stabilizer gives the pair a throwback feel. Nail polish graphics run across the insoles, and the shoe ships with glue-on Jordan Brand nail charms.
That signals Jordan Brand is finally treating women’s storytelling as its own creative brief rather than a colorway exercise. The charms are a small detail, and small details are what people photograph.
The colorway also comes in preschool sizing at $85 and toddler sizing at $70.
Release details: $185, releasing September 2, 2026, style code FD2596-601.
Where to buy: Nike SNKRS, Nike.com, and select Jordan Brand retailers.
