Official images of the Virgil Abloh Archive (V.A.A.) x Air Jordan 1 High OG “Alaska” have surfaced, signaling a wider release is right around the corner. After early access through pop-ups and an EQL raffle, the sneaker is now set for a global drop on April 3rd. However, a release on Nike SNKRS in the United States remains unconfirmed, leaving many hoping for a last-minute launch.
The design stays true to Virgil Abloh’s signature “The Ten” era, carrying over the same deconstructed, prototype-inspired look. While the overall build mirrors the original Off-White x Air Jordan 1 “Euro,” key branding updates reflect the current direction of his legacy. Off-White references have been removed, replaced with “V.A.A. for Nike” text on the medial side and zip-tie, while the interior branding returns to classic Nike Air details.
Packaging also gets a complete overhaul. Instead of the familiar clear box, the pair arrives in a slide-out design with cut-out detailing, paired with a plastic display-style casing. A special zine titled “MODERNISM IS NOT NEW” is included, highlighting archival work and design concepts tied to Abloh’s vision.
