Jordan 1 Retro High J Balvin

Unleash energy. Wear the vibe.

The Jordan 1 Retro High J Balvin is one of the boldest, most disruptive sneaker collaborations ever launched by Jordan Brand. Designed in partnership with Latin music icon J Balvin, this psychedelic edition of the classic Jordan 1 silhouette explodes with color, creativity, and cultural attitude. Originally previewed during J Balvin’s Super Bowl LIV halftime performance, this sneaker quickly became a pop culture phenomenon.

Crafted from a layered tie-dye canvas upper, the design features jagged edges that intentionally expose the black leather beneath—symbolizing chaos, energy, and transformation. This deconstructed look is enhanced by exposed foam on the tongue, evoking a vintage, raw-edged appeal.

Customizability is a major theme: Velcro patches on the heel allow wearers to swap between a variety of included designs, from the iconic Jumpman logo to J Balvin’s signature smiley face and lightning bolts. The result is a shoe that’s constantly evolving with your mood and expression.

The sole unit is equally unexpected—a pink foam outsole adds softness to the rebellious upper. The signature J Balvin smiley returns on the tongue and insole, reminding you this pair is built for joy, not conformity.

Each pair comes with a custom J Balvin-branded box, multiple patch options, and three sets of laces (white, neon, and soft pink) to encourage creativity.
