High-quality, smooth leather at the bases boast a white makeup that allows the cream lateral swooshes and rich blue hits that take over everything from “NIKE AIR” branding on the tongue label and bottom heel overlay to revel in the spotlight midsoles also indulge in a seemingly-“aged” aesthetic. Unlike its counterpart, the follow-up drop indulges in the model’s inaugural “Black Toe” color-blocking. A taller Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG launched via raffle on July 29th (with reports claiming some bots secured 32,000 entries per person), but it’s lost some favor to the shorter silhouette. Touted as having began as a “fragment of imagination,” the upcoming release is one of two sneakers to hit retail. While many believed this pair to simply be La Flame’s use of the University of Carolina’s colors, the retro has panned out as a three-way collaboration between the Texas-native, Team Jumpman and Hiroshi Fujiwara’s fragment design label.
Even if you strike out again, at least you can say you had time to prepare for the second Travis Scott and Fragment release in three weeks.Back in January, Travis Scott was spotted wearing an Air Jordan 1 Low OG with a lateral reverse swoosh. The kicks will set you back $150, while the merch runs from $50 to $120. We’re not exactly talking about the most high-minded of apparel here, but there’ll be a rabid audience awaiting it nonetheless.īoth the Air Jordan 1 Low and accompanying apparel are set to release August 13 through the SNKRS app and other retailers that have yet to be announced. We’ll see neither the same volume of merch from last week nor as, umm, involved graphics - and it’s hard to say if one approach is better than the other. Sweat shorts will also release sans-Mike and with two rear pockets that aren’t always guaranteed when you’re talking about athletic apparel. A hoodie and T-shirt will both release with the same graphic arrangement, which sees an image of Michael Jordan given the appearance of having been vandalized by a brand-loving child. There’s more merch, too - Just like its predecessor, the Air Jordan 1 Low will be released along with another apparel run, albeit one much smaller and simpler. The slightly different color scheme, however, does make the Low feel slightly less phoned in than the High, which was criticized for simply slapping on new colors and logos to Scott’s Air Jordan 1 from two years prior. Fragment’s logo and Scott’s weird smiley face are once again debossed in the heel, while the Air Jordan 1 Low’s mustache leaves room for even more brand iconography.īecause the Air Jordan 1 Low is nowhere near as venerated as the sneaker in its original form, it’s hard not to look at the forthcoming release as a lesser consolation prize - if you can even get it, of course.
The primary difference, besides the change in profile, is in black replacing white for the tip and eyestays. Fortunately, there’s always another sneaker right around the corner to hone in on as the next so-called “must cop” - but we didn’t expect the three-way collaboration to produce another so quickly.Ī new Air Jordan 1 Low is set to follow the lead of its high-top cousin, utilizing a similar blue, white, black, and cream color scheme. Travis Scott and Fragment’s long-awaited Air Jordan 1 arrived last week with little time to prepare for, and you easily could have gone into the weekend not knowing they had already dropped and sold out.
