Before the confetti stopped flying through the streets of the Big Apple, Jordan Brand immediately shifted into gear to celebrate the New York Knicks' 2026 NBA Championship.

One of the limited-edition sneakers was the Air Jordan 1 Low OG "Garden" colorway. It tells the story of Chicago Bulls guard Michael Jordan's last game against in Madison Square Garden during the 1997-98 Last Dance season.

Jumpman shared official images and details of the sneakers in June, months before their release date. Now, the highly anticipated kicks are finally hitting shelves this month. Below is everything fans must know to secure a pair of the shoes.
