If you thought the Jordan 1 wouldn’t remain the most sought after sneaker in 2022 you were wrong. If you thought Mike would ever stop dropping colorways that aim to pay homage to his time at UNC you were also wrong. Killing two birds with one stone Jordan Brand is gearing up to drop the Air Jordan 1 “Brotherhood” this month on February 24th, 2022. Giving a major shout out to the GOATS former Omega Psi Phi fraternity, one of the leading historic African American fraternities across the country. This drop pays homage to his time as a brother. Founded in 1911, Omega Psi Phi is the first fraternal organization founded at a historically black university. Michael joined during his years at UNC and has been seen throwing up the frat’s signature ‘hooks’, wearing OPP tees, and even has an Omega motif branded into his chest. With the fraternity playing such a big part in MJs personal life, it would only make sense that it would eventually transfer into his footwear line, too.

Initial revealings of the upcoming Air Jordan 1 revealed a pair dressed in fraternal colors, as expected by the pair’s name. The Swoosh, toecap, eyestays & ankle collar combine with the wings logo, liner & laces in a luxurious Bordeaux. Accents on the heel cup, toebox, outer collar & sole shine in Gold. The midfoot paneling & tongue & midsole will be White on the upcoming pair. Close looks at the Air Jordan 1 High OG “Brotherhood” have arrived via early-obtainer @repgod888.
