About the GS Air Jordan 1 Retro OG BG EP "Satin Royal"

Royal is one of the original 1985 Air Jordan 1 colourways, black and blue at a moment when the line's public argument was about a different pair entirely: the red and black shoe the NBA's uniform rule made famous. It has been reissued repeatedly since, and 2017 brought it back in the OG high-top shape.

Alongside that general release came this satin version, a follow-up to the satin Banned that had appeared the year before. The substitution is simple and total. Where the shoe normally uses black leather across the toe, eyestay, collar and heel, satin takes its place, changing how light moves across panels that are usually matte. Varsity royal handles the Swoosh and the remaining overlays, and the midsole stays white. This is the grade-school make-up, produced in a small run and sold through two long-established Jordan Brand accounts rather than at general release, which is why it surfaces far less often than the adult Royal it shadows.
