The Air Jordan 1 Retro High 'Virgil Abloh Archive Alaska' (2026) brings one of sneaker design's great unreleased artefacts to life. Developed with the Virgil Abloh Archive, the release realises the all-white, inside-out Air Jordan 1 sample — nicknamed 'Alaska' — from the late designer's archive of experimental studies that shaped his era-defining work with Nike and Jordan Brand. Released on 3 April 2026 under style code AA3834-100 in the official White/White colourway, it stands as both a tribute and a collector's piece of design history.
Overview
The 'Alaska' turns the Air Jordan 1 quite literally inside out. Its deconstructed build exposes the model's inner components, seams and raw edges, rendering the 1985 icon as something closer to an art object than a conventional sneaker — a hallmark of Abloh's interrogative approach to design. The tonal white execution keeps the focus on construction, while medial branding reads 'V.A.A. for Nike', marking the Virgil Abloh Archive's stewardship of the project. The release is completed by special packaging: a reimagined Air Jordan 1 box with circular cut-outs that opens from the side, housing a transparent inner case stamped with V.A.A. and Jumpman logos alongside a sketch-style booklet bearing the phrase 'MODERNISM IS NOT NEW'. Every pair is authenticated by hand at PUSHAS, so you can shop with confidence.
