The Air Jordan 1 85 Georgetown makes its way to the US market after its initial release in the EU. If you’re looking to grab a pair when they drop on the SNKRS App, make sure you check out StockX to put together A Perfect Fit for one of the top Jordan 1s of the year (so far).

Like most Jordan retros, the origin of the Air Jordan 1 85 Georgetown’s colorway derives from one of Michael Jordan’s past achievements. Back in 1982, the then-freshman at the University of North Carolina drained an 18-foot shot with only 17 seconds left to defeat Georgetown in the Final Four. This colorway commemorates that early moment that helped solidify Jordan as a future legend.

The Air Jordan 1 85 Georgetown marks the third appearance of the re-engineered Jordan 1 silhouette, following releases of the Neutral Grey and Varsity Red colorways. This latest retro reconstructs the Air Jordan 1 model close to its original 1985 form, featuring a reshaped toe box and heel. Both College Navy and Tech Grey leather uppers and a yellowed nylon tongue give the sneaker an aged, vintage feel. To finish it up, a classic Jordan Wings logo is debossed on the heel and a Nike Air tag is embroidered on the tongue. Its dark colors are a contrast to the pastels of spring, but the sneaker is a timeless design that can be appreciated any time of the year.

Lanvin x Gallery Dept. Logo Hoodie With A Worn Effect And Paint Marks Navy Blue

This hoodie from French fashion house Lanvin brings an additional pop of color to the dark-hued Jordan 1 85 Georgetown. Last year, the Parisian brand kicked off its first collaboration with Gallery Dept., a Los Angeles streetwear brand by artist Josué Thomas that focused on aged and vintage garments with added handpainted marks on each piece. The collection consisted of jeans, tees, and hoodies all splotched with various paint colors. This Lanvin x Gallery Dept. Logo Hoodie With A Worn Effect And Paint Marks has a distressed look, which matches the aged vibe of the recent Jordan 1 retro.

BAPE x StĂŒssy Trucker Cap

StĂŒssy is keeping the trucker hat trend alive with their 2021 BAPE collaboration. BAPE and StĂŒssy have been one of streetwear’s favorite duos, with their first project dating back to 2010. 11 years later the two are still at it, this time working on a set of three trucker caps. This black cap matches perfectly with this Jordan 1, as the black and grey Bape camo matches the Tech Grey of the Jordan’s upper. And if you’re looking to match your other kicks, check out the other cap colors in yellow, purple, and pink.

Shirt that matches Jordan 1 85 Georgetown

Supreme Box Logo L/S Tee Navy

Long sleeves are your friend during the spring, making this Supreme Box Logo L/S Tee a match made in heaven for these Jordans. First off, this is a Supreme Box Logo. The box logo is one of the most coveted streetwear items around, helping Supreme evolve into the hype brand that it is today. Secondly, this box logo long sleeve is the first of its kind, providing an alternative to the traditional box logo short sleeve tee. Lastly, the navy blue colorway of this garment will pair well with the College Navy leather on the Air Jordan 1, adding a spring-ready option for the semi-cold weather. 

Supreme x New York Yankees Track Jacket Navy

Just like the box logo long sleeve, this is another option from Supreme to help you layer up for the breezy spring. For their Fall/Winter collection, Supreme partnered with another New York mainstay, the New York Yankees. This collaboration featured an assortment of hats, denim jackets, and tracksuits. The Supreme x New York Yankees Track Jacket Navy features a grey and Navy design just like the Jordan 1s. The jacket is a great lightweight option that will keep you warm when it’s still a little chilly outside.

Shorts to match Jordan 1 85 Georgetown

Kith Jordan Short Asteroid

It’s not always chilly during the spring. Sometimes the days call for shorts. Kith made what might be one of the best options for these Jordan 1s and it just so happens to be called the Jordan Short. The Kith Jordan Short Asteroid were designed with the GOAT in mind, drawing their inspiration from Michael Jordan’s on-court shorts. Their fleece cotton fabric makes them a comfortable pick for the spring, while their Asteroid colorway pairs well with the Jordan’s blue leather.
