IZ2383-503. Grand Purple, White, Mineral Teal, Violet. Suede and patent in one color. J tongue badge. $140. United States, 1 October 2026.
Nike and Jordan Brand have a women’s Air Jordan 1 Low SE dated 1 October 2026 at US Jordan dealers. Style IZ2383-503. Tincture string: Grand Purple / White / Mineral Teal / Violet. Ticket $140.
The last is the 1985 court shoe cut low, the first Michael Jordan sig reduced to a fashion height. This SE keeps that outline and changes the skin: Grand Purple as the field, matte suede next to gloss patent in the same hue. White midsole. Purple outsole. Tongue badge is a sewn J, not the usual Jumpman. Wings logo on the heel in purple embroidery.
Mineral Teal and Violet sit in the official hue line. Treat them as secondary hits until a product tile shows exactly where they land (stitch, lining, or a small overlay). Do not invent a teal Swoosh.
Signal. What happened: a women’s AJ1 Low SE in Grand Purple scheduled for 1 Oct in the US. Exact product: IZ2383-503, suede and patent, $140. When and where: Jordan Brand dealers. Source: assigned overseas brief. Why it matters: the low 1 is being used as a one-color material study.


mat
AJ1 Lows usually split hue by panel. This brief splits finish instead. Suede takes light as a dull field. Patent throws it back. Walking changes which panels shout. That is the pair’s only loud idea. Restrained palette, changing surface.
A J on the tongue is a small break from Jumpman habit. Wings stay, embroider purple on purple, so the heel mark is texture more than contrast. White midsole is the clean break under the purple cup. Purple outsole keeps the bottom in the same family.
Women’s last and women’s size run. Size as other AJ1 Lows in that channel. Patent creases white. Suede marks. Same-tint construction hides dirt better than a white leather 1 and shows scratches in a different way.
1984/85 origin story is background, not the news. The news is suede plus patent in Grand Purple on a low SE, $140, first of October.

US dealers on 1 October. Japan or other regions are not in this brief. Watch nike.com and SNKRS for the live tile, the teal and violet placement, and whether the J badge is leather or woven.
$140 matches other recent AJ1 Low SE tickets. Women’s pairs at that number often restock more shh than men’s collabs. Grand Purple will live or die on whether the patent panels photograph as luxury or as plastic.
