Overview

  • Collectors can enter a lottery from July 31 to pre-order the Air Jordan 1 High ’85 Shadow model kit through Premium Bandai for ¥11,000 (about $74).
  • The kit’s deconstructed design showcases individual layers and pieces of the Tokyo-exclusive Shadow and Reverse Shadow colorways.

  • Starting October, the miniature sneakers will appear in Japanese capsule vending machines complete with replica mini shoebox packaging.
