More about the upcoming Nike Air Jordan 1 Low "Black Toe" sneakers
Michael Jordan kickstarted his partnership with Nike in 1984, and this iconic partnership can be credited for releasing one of the most iconic and beloved sneaker lineages of all time. The duo's partnership has permanently altered both the sneaker and basketball worlds.
The duo debuted their first sneaker model, Air Jordan 1 in 1985, and the model is still making waves in the sneaker industry with its iconic makeovers and collaborative takes. The duo's partnership took Michael Jordan's popularity to a new level. The site introduces their partnership as follows:
"Along the way, Jordan redefined basketball's relationship to style, the sport's connection to youth counter-culture and the game's creative potential. Like Jordan himself, his eponymous footwear arrived with a bang, sharing its namesake's tradition-breaking bravado.”
The Air Jordan 1 sneaker model has continued to be seen in many iconic makeovers over time, the most famous ones being the "Bred" (Black and Red) and "Chicago" (Black, Red and White).
Now, the Air Jordan 1 Low is making an appearance in the Chicago color scheme with an official "Black Toe" makeover. The Jordan site introduces the Air Jordan 1 sneaker model as follows:
"Since his game-winning shot that brought championship glory to North Carolina, Michael Jordan has been at the forefront of basketball consciousness. He took the court in 1985 wearing the original Air Jordan I, simultaneously breaking league rules and his opponents."
The upper of the Air Jordan 1 "Black Toe" sneakers are constructed out of leather material, with the white hue appearing as an underlay and base. The white is accentuated on the perforated toe boxes and mid panels.
The contrasting shade of black is added on the profile swooshes, toe boxes and lacing system overlays. The heel features university red overlays.
The look is finished off with white midsoles and red rubber outsoles. The pair is rumored to release via the e-commerce site of Nike and select retailers on July 28, 2023, for $140.
