Air 1 Retro High OG x Virgil Abloh Archive "Alaska"

Virgil Abloh’s vision returns; one of the most talked-about re-releases of 2026.

The Virgil Abloh Archive x Air 1 Retro High OG “Alaska” isn’t just another AJ1. It’s the return of Virgil’s original reimagining of the Air 1, where every detail is rethought.

It all traces back to 1985, when the Air 1 first shifted culture and pushed Michael beyond basketball. This version honored that legacy while reinterpreting it in a way that felt entirely new.

Originally released in extremely limited numbers following THE TEN, the “Alaska” (then known as the “Euro”) continued Virgil Abloh’s now-signature approach to reworking icons. Created during his ™ era, it introduced a design language built on exposed construction, raw edges, and a clear focus on process over perfection.

From sketching sneakers as a kid to working on some of ’s most iconic silhouettes, Virgil’s collaborations marked a full-circle moment, where past, present, and possibility met.

Now this crisp, white gem returns as a Virgil Abloh Archive release, honoring Virgil’s legacy and lasting impact on the culture.
