The black upper is covered in fine etched detailing, a laser-etching technique that's traditionally been reserved for the Air Jordan 3, now making its way onto the Air Jordan 1 Low OG. Dubbed "Black Laser" under style code IV6750-001, the officially confirmed colorway is Black/University Red/Palomino/Summit White — a mostly restrained black base accented with University Red and off-white, with all the contrast coming from that laser texture on the upper.

The shoe will drop on August 22, 2026 via Nike's website and retailers including Foot Locker, JD Sports, Finish Line, and Snipes, priced at $165. Launching alongside it is the Kids Air Jordan 1 Low OG "Black Laser," though sizing and pricing have yet to be announced.

Notably, the same release wave also includes an Air Jordan 3 "Laser," priced at $230. Despite belonging to different silhouettes, both pairs share the "Laser" naming and laser-etched design language, suggesting this laser treatment isn't a one-off for the Jordan 1 Low but rather an experiment being extended across multiple models.
