Air Jordan 1 High Retro OG Palomino

Suede, leather, and warm brown

Palomino is one of those Air Jordan 1 iterations where the material does more work than the colorway. Panels in a warm, walnut brown are crafted from suede, while the rest of the upper is made of smooth black leather—the contrast between the matte, slightly textured surface and the glossy finish creates a depth that a print could never capture. The silhouette remains iconic and untouched: high-top upper, Wings logo embossed on the ankle, perforated toe box for breathability, and classic lacing. Beneath it, Air cushioning is at work, the very same that has kept this model alive for decades. The dark, muted palette means this pair handles autumn and winter better than white variants—brown suede simply doesn't show everything it picks up from the sidewalk.

Fit and sizing

The Air Jordan 1 High has a relatively narrow upper and a stiff finish around the ankle that breaks in after a few wears. The length is standard, but the width can be an issue: if you have a wide foot or a high instep, consider sizing up, as the leather will only stretch to a certain point. Available sizes range from 40 to 46, with half sizes included in the middle of the range. Measure your foot length in centimeters and compare it with the size chart instead of relying on a size from another brand—conversion charts can vary by half a size. Questions about fit and returns are covered in our FAQ.

How to wear it

Brown and black is the most versatile color pairing you can have in a high-top sneaker: it works with raw denim, black cargo pants, wool coats, and earth-toned sweatpants. If you want the shoe to stand out, cuff your trousers to reveal the ankle and the Wings logo; if you prefer a more understated look, cover the upper with a wider pant leg and leave just the toe showing. Other colorways of this silhouette are in the Air Jordan 1 High collection, and the full brand selection can be found under Air Jordan shoes. The latest arrivals hit the new arrivals collection.
