Jordan 1 Retro High OG Royal GS: leather upper and a 10 October listing

Grade-school sizing brings the 1985 Royal colourway back on the Jordan 1 Retro High OG. The youth pair uses style code FD1437-005. Shops list it for 10 October 2026, so treat that day as expected, not as a confirmed Jordan drop.

Listed colours are Black, Game Royal and White. A shop page splits the build into 70 percent leather and 30 percent rubber. Holes across the toe let air through the leather upper, and the outsole is rubber for grip.

Royal first showed up in 1985, the opening year of Michael Jordan's signature line. Peter Moore designed that original high-top. The colour dropped Chicago's red for a deep blue and kept black overlays on a white base.

Blue lands on the toe box, the Swoosh and the heel. Black runs along the mudguard, the eyestay and the collar. That panel split is why you can spot a Royal from the other side of the court.

The 1985 high also fixed the ankle collar, the winged basketball logo and the Nike Swoosh on opposite sides. Later leather retros kept that layout when they went back to leather. This GS pair stays in that lane.

Jordan has brought this palette back more than once over the years. The shop listing presents this 2026 GS pair as a return to the original design, and the material split backs that up: leather upper, rubber outsole, the same Royal blocks.

Classic Royal pairs use a white midsole to split the dark upper from the rubber outsole. The high shape adds a padded collar and a full lace throat. Layered overlays build the stepped profile along the side.

That cupsole shape comes from basketball. A circular pattern under the forefoot is there for traction. Original Air Jordan 1 pairs used encapsulated Air in the heel. Treat that as model history, not as a cushioning fact checked on this GS shoe.

GS means grade school. It sits above preschool and toddler sizes, and below men's and women's pairs. A youth last runs its own sole sizes and its own upper patterns.

Toe, collar and lace spacing shrink with the foot. A GS Royal can look tighter beside an adult Royal with the same colour name. The listing covers kids, men and women, so check the GS mark before you choose a number.

A leather high holds its shape more than a knit runner. The collar does not give much, so a half size can change how the ankle feels. Match a shoe the child already wears, or try the pair on, before you buy.

European sizes on the chart run 36, 36.5, 37.5, 38, 38.5, 39 and 40. UK labels cover 3.5 through 6.0. Two different UK 6 marks show up, one next to EU 39 and one next to EU 40.

US youth sizes run from 4.0Y to 7.0Y, with half sizes between them. Keep the Y when you line this chart up with an adult shoe. A youth EU 36 is not the same foot as an adult EU 36.

Shops list 10 October 2026 for this pair. The day comes from marketplace scheduling, so it stays expected. An adult Jordan 1 Retro High OG Royal shares that same expected date.

Style code FD1437-005 separates the youth pair from the larger one. Match the code, not only the colour name, at checkout. If you want both pairs, plan one expected drop and check each code on its own.

Other 2026 High OG pairs sit on different days. Cool Grey is listed for 13 February, and a women's Pale Ivory Psychic Blue for 7 March. Love Letter in toddler sizing and Shadow Brown in preschool sizing are listed for 1 August.

All-Star Cool Grey in PS and TD, plus Flight Club, are listed from 1 January. Those dates mark other colourways, not this Royal GS. Use FD1437-005 when you want this exact youth pair.
