The best of black and white.

Without a shadow of a doubt, black and white is the most popular colorway that you can buy right now.

So, whether you're a hardcore collector or you're searching for your very first pair, we've hand selected five monochromatic masterpieces from the Swoosh that you definitely do not want to miss out on. These are all available at Ox Street, so secure size right now before it's too late.

Before you call this one the "Panda," please don't make the mistake. The Air Jordan 1 High 85 OG "Black White" is actually one of the original colorways that launched all the way back in 1985, and Jordan Brand has finally brought it back in its original shape, structure, and form. Crafted from premium leather throughout, Nike's iconic tick glides across the sides, while the legendary winged basketball emblem is finely stamped across the ankle for the unmistakable AJ 1 vibe.
