In 1985, Michael Jordan was honored with the NBA's Rookie of the Year Award, marking the onset of his illustrious career characterized by an impressive point per game average and a relentless pursuit of success. Commemorating this achievement, Jordan Brand introduced the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'Rookie of the Year.' This high-top sneaker boasts a white leather base on its upper, accented with Gold Harvest leather overlays situated on the mudguard, ankle, eyestay, and heel, alongside perforations on the toe box enhancing breathability. A tribute to MJ's phenomenal rookie season is discreetly tucked away inside the straps on the upper. The inscription ‘1984-85 R.O.Y. 2313 POINTS 28.2 PPG’ is nestled within one strap, while a memorable quote from Jordan graces the other.
