Jordan Brand and the Museum of Modern Art are planning an Air Jordan 1 High OG collection for Spring 2027, according to Sneaker News, which reported SKU codes for three colorways: Black/Grey, Black/Orange, and Black/Purple, each priced at $205. No official images have surfaced from either Jordan Brand or MoMA, and neither institution has issued a formal announcement — Sneaker News and Sneaker Freaker both report the colorway and pricing details as sourced from supply-chain leaks rather than brand statements, while House of Heat has cautioned that the circulating product images are unofficial mock-ups.
If it goes forward as reported, the release would mark the first time MoMA's long-running relationship with Nike extends specifically into Jordan Brand. The museum's ties to Nike date to 2017, when three original 1982 Air Force 1s were included in MoMA's "Items: Is Fashion Modern?" exhibition. The partnership deepened in 2018 with Virgil Abloh's Off-White x Nike Air Force 1, sold exclusively through the MoMA Design Store, and continued with a collaborative sock collection in 2024 and a Nike Air Max 95 OG "Reverse Neon" colorway in 2025 that drew on an early design sketch by Sergio Lozano.
The timing carries institutional weight on both sides. 2027 marks the 10th anniversary of the Nike-MoMA partnership and the 30th anniversary of Jordan Brand becoming an independent entity within Nike, separate from the basketball footwear division.
Uristocrat has tracked the Air Jordan 1's institutional and heritage moments closely this year, from the High OG "Royal" returning after nine years to the Howard University HBCU partnership colorway and the "Garden" release honoring Jordan's final game at Madison Square Garden. A MoMA collaboration would sit alongside those as one of the silhouette's most history-conscious releases yet.
