The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Royal” in Black/Game Royal-White is confirmed for October 10, 2026 at a $185 retail price, style code IQ5495-005.

Release details

The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Royal” is confirmed for release on October 10, 2026. The retail price is $185, and the colorway is listed as Black/Game Royal-White. It is a high-top built on the original Air Jordan 1 silhouette, dressed in black and royal blue.

The style code is IQ5495-005. Keep it handy, because it is the reliable way to search for this exact pair and tell it apart from other Jordan 1 releases that share a name or a similar look.

How to buy it at retail

Grail Call does not sell sneakers. Stores do, and this page only helps you get ready. The number to hold in mind is the $185 retail price. It is the figure the shoe is listed at, so it is the benchmark to check any listing against as you shop.

Nice Kicks names Nike.com as a store for this release. When you search at any shop, use the style code IQ5495-005 rather than relying on the name alone. The name is easy to confuse with other pairs, as the calendar section below shows, while the code points to one specific shoe.

Live stock, availability and any restock information are shown elsewhere on this page with a time stamp, so check there for the current picture instead of relying on anything written here.

About the model

The Air Jordan 1 is Michael Jordan's first signature shoe, dating to 1985. This release uses the high-top form of that original design, in a black and royal blue color scheme.

The “Royal” name has appeared on Jordan releases before. Our archive lists three earlier examples: the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Royal” and the Air Jordan XXX1 “Royal”, both dated April 1, 2017, and the Air Jordan 1 Flyknit “Royal” from October 7, 2017. Only the first of these shares the exact name and construction of the 2026 pair, so the style code matters when comparing.

Similar names on the calendar

Be careful with naming on the release calendar. Two other entries for the same date, October 10, 2026, are listed as the Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Royal” and the Air Jordan 1 High OG “Royal”. The names differ only slightly from the shoe covered here, so confirm the style code IQ5495-005 before assuming a listing is the one you want.

Also on the calendar is the SoleFly x Air Jordan 5 “SoleFly”, dated October 8, 2026, two days before this release. It is a different shoe, but worth noting if you are planning around that week.
