TLDR: On 23 August 2025, the ‘Better With Time’ Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 1 Low OG will be released for €160. The sneaker combines high-quality materials, deliberately placed signs of wear and personal details from Sylvester's BMX career to create a unique release with storytelling elements. Nigel Sylvester brings back his signature ‘Bike Air’ look – this time in a low-top form. The ‘Better With Time’ is based on an older, never-released sample version and is inspired by Sylvester's philosophy that things gain character over time. The upper material made of black premium leather is adorned with deliberate signs of wear, creating the look of a favourite sneaker that has already been worn. An aged Sail Swoosh and matching midsole reinforce this vintage look, while a Varsity Red outsole provides a fresh contrast.
In addition to the iconic Wings embossing on the heel, Sylvester's ‘Bike Air’ logo on the tongue and insole, as well as the ‘Jordan Biking Co. EST. 2017’ lettering on the liner, make direct reference to his BMX brand. The release campaign was staged in New York, as befits the occasion, and includes a music video featuring A$AP Ferg, a long-time friend and collaborator.
