Consistently fresh and always on point, the AJ1 is one of the most iconic sneakers of all time. This mid version combines premium leather with oversized, colorful stitching—a bold and durable reinterpretation worthy of a legend.
For starters, a predominantly white color palette across the pair’s upper and sole unit allows for the hits of green, red and orange to revel in the spotlight. Quarter, lower heel and ankle overlays on the Jordan 1-variant feature traditional stitching and a colorful knit reinforcement; underlays around the collar also indulge in a knit build that delivers a refreshing take on Peter Moore’s 37-year-old design. Furthermore, the retro includes a playful bead dubrae at the base of the tongue spelling out “JORDAN” to round out the “handmade” aesthetic.
