The highly anticipated Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Better With Time” is set to launch on August 16th, 2025, priced at $165. This collaboration brings a low-top version of an unreleased sample that first emerged years ago, and with the release approaching, excitement is building among sneaker enthusiasts.
Recently, Jordan Brand has ignited interest by releasing an Instagram teaser featuring a unique promotional song called “Bike Airs,” performed by A$AP Ferg. The collaboration between the two stems from their shared New York City roots, with Sylvester having made appearances in several of Ferg’s music videos. The camaraderie between them was highlighted when Ferg received an exclusive BMX bike as a gift to celebrate the launch of Sylvester’s previous Jordan 4 RM collaboration in 2024.
Visually, the teaser showcases Nigel Sylvester performing BMX tricks across lower Manhattan, with prominent “Brick Red” colors reminiscent of his earlier Jordan 4 collaboration, which has garnered critical acclaim this year. The new Air Jordan 1 Low OO “Better With Time” focuses on themes of personal growth and development, although its design pays homage to previous styles. Notably, Sylvester also released a similar high-top version in 2022 to promote his book, “Everything On Go,” along with his inaugural collaboration on the Air Jordan 1 high-top four years prior.
As anticipation builds for the August 16th release, sneaker fans are encouraged to check the Jordan Release Dates page for the latest news and updates. The convergence of skate culture and streetwear elements encapsulated in Sylvester’s work continues to resonate strongly, bringing a new depth to sneaker culture and collaborations.
With the energy surrounding this release, it seems poised to be another significant moment in both Sylvester’s career and sneaker history.
