OFF‑WHITE x AJ1 ‘Alaska’ raffle
Virgil Abloh Archive (V.A.A.) launched a web raffle for the OFF‑WHITE x Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'Alaska' (AA3834‑100) at $230 plus fees, open for shipping to Japan and closing March 23 JST — the drop has ignited hype across sneaker accounts. The raffle mechanics and geography (Japan shipping) are key if you’re trying to secure a pair. (x.com) (x.com)
The official EQL listing for the North America & Asia Pacific online raffle shows the drop ships to a defined set of countries (including Japan) and specifies a US$8.05 Run Fair® fee for winners plus a 7–10 day shipping window and a note that customs and duties are the buyer’s responsibility. (vaa.runfair.com)) EQL’s public page lists the mechanics as “free to enter,” with the Run Fair® processing fee charged only to winners, a strict one‑entry‑per‑person rule, and anti‑bot protections branded as the “EQLizer.” (vaa.runfair.com)) The online raffle countdown on the EQL page shows the launch closing on March 23, 2026 at 06:00 AM (site display), which converts to 07:00 PM Japan Standard Time on March 23, 2026. (vaa.runfair.com)) V.A.A. is running the Alaska release alongside World’s Fair activations in seven cities — Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, London, Paris, Hong Kong, and Tokyo — with Los Angeles’ Architecture activation already staged March 14–15. (nicekicks.com)) City‑by‑city EQL raffles have been local‑only (requiring a verified local address and in‑person pickup), and organizers confirm a mix of online North America/Asia Pacific raffles plus separate in‑store pickup raffles such as the Awake NY event. (resellcalendar.com)) Early secondary‑market activity is visible: StockX’s product page shows recent sale bands and a three‑month average sale price in the mid‑thousands, and reporting from reseller trackers notes roughly 100 pairs from the Los Angeles raffle changing hands at about $1,400 apiece.
