This vintage original Nike Air Jordan 1 High 'Royal' Salesman Sample is a rare early example of one of the silhouette’s most iconic colorways, presented in black and royal blue. Marked 850810-TYSS, this pair was a Salesman Sample and was produced at the Tong Yang Rubber factory. The pair carries notable historical significance as a pre-release sample tied to the earliest era of Air Jordan production.

Designed by Peter Moore, the Air Jordan 1 remains one of the most important sneakers ever made, and original sample pairs from 1985 are among the most coveted artifacts in sneaker collecting. This example is especially compelling for its direct connection to Nike’s developmental and sales process during the launch year of the model.

Accompanied by its original box, a set of black laces, and blue laces.
