Beat the High Street: Cheap Air Jordan 1s
Venture through the back catalogue of iconic footwear down the years and youād be hard-pressed to find a shoe that brings with it a legacy close to the Jordan 1. Making its debut back in 1985, this was the shoe that changed everything.
Born out of MJās initial reluctance to sign with Nike, the brandās Creative Director, Peter C. Moore, faced the seemingly impossible task of designing a shoe that would make or break the negotiations. Legend has it, the NBA then banned MJ from donning the creation, fining him $5,000 every time he wore them on-court due to uniform breaches. As far as we can tell though, thatās all it was, the stuff of legend, but that didnāt stop Nike from building a sell-out campaign around the tale. And with that, a legend was born.
Interest in Jordan silhouettes has skyrocketed since the release of The Last Dance on Netflix, but it’s still possible to grab a pair for below retail price on StockX. Check out a selection of our favourite, affordable Air Jordan 1s available to buy now.
Below Retail Men’s Jordan 1s
Sizes UK 6 – UK 17
Jordan 1 Mid Triple White 2.0
They simply donāt come much cleaner than this. Crisp, white premium leather features throughout to serve up a luxury take on the old favourite.Ā
MJās signature winged logo appears on the collar, along with the usual Jumpman sitting proudly in its usual spot on the tongue.Ā Ā
Jordan 1 High Zoom CMFT Stadium Green
Taking the classic high-top silhouette and placing a greater onus on comfort makes this model a no-brainer for anyone looking to seamlessly blend style and practicality.Ā
Stadium Green suede overlays sit above a white denim-style upper, all of which is contrasted in supreme fashion with bold, black accents across the laces, tongue and lining.Ā
Jordan 1 Low SE Tropical Twist
Standout, vibrant hues meet the low-top edition of the Jordan 1 via the charmingly titled Tropical Twist.Ā
A striking black and turquoise upper dons a gradient take on the traditionally blocked-out swoosh, while the leather-dominated textiles ensure the shoe can withstand the inevitable tricky elements of the Autumn months.Ā
Jordan 1 Retro High OG Light Fusion Red
Another vivid take, this time on the iconic high-top, sees a combination of garish, extravagantly-named colours like Light Fusion Red and Laser Orange taking centre stage.Ā
Beyond that, the winged Jordan Brand logo keeps its place on the collar, while a gradient āNike Airā callback takes the place of the Jumpman symbol on the tongue.
Below Retail Women’s Jordan 1s
Size UK 2.5 – US 9.5
Jordan 1 Retro High Court PurpleĀ 
Hitting shelves earlier this summer, this womenās version of the AJ1 revisits one of the most beloved OG colourways, and understandably went down a treat with fans.Ā
A clean white upper is elevated by metallic purple which paints the swoosh, collar lining and wing strap logo. Purple Nike Air tongue branding completes a prime example of less being more in this strong, vintage drop.
Jordan 1 Low Limelight
Breathable mesh fabric is used throughout this low-top silhouette, making this iteration of the AJ1 a savvy choice for warmer days and potential holiday wardrobes.Ā
Along with the lighter materials, the usual leather overlays are treated with lime green hues, completing a somewhat retro, preppy aesthetic.Ā
Jordan 1 Mid SyracuseĀ
Orange colourways have proved to be a pretty reliable option for the Jordan brand, and this clean take on the mid-cut version of the shoe is pretty emphatic evidence as to exactly why that is.Ā
Stripping things back to two-tone, the Syracuse hits a nice balance between simplicity, while boasting enough contrast to stand out from the crowd, should that be your thing.
Below Retail Junior Jordan 1s
Size UK 3 – UK 6
Jordan 1 Mid Banned 2020 (GS)
There was no way we could have made it through this list of cheap Air Jordan 1s without featuring the āBannedā colourway in at least some capacity, so here it is.Ā
The unmistakable red and black leather upper sits atop a contrasting white sole, a design that will forever hold a place in both sporting and fashion history.
Jordan 1 Mid Metallic Gold Black White (GS)
Throwing a little pizzazz on the traditional colour-blocking of the classic silhouette, this take adds metallic gold leather overlays to the usual black and white upper.Ā
Aesthetically, the shoe bears obvious similarities to the immensely coveted Pass The Torch edition of the AJ1 High, though offers a far more accessible price-point for smaller feet.
Jordan 1 Low Childrenās Art (GS)
This kidās version of the AJ1 Low sees playful drawings and colours sit across a mismatch of various textures.Ā
A white mesh base plays host to black leather overlays, a perforated yellow toe box and a sky blue heel which has been stamped with the Jordan wing symbol. Hand-drawn patterns decorate the sock liner, while the Jumpman emblem is stamped upon the tongue.Ā
