More about upcoming Nike Air Jordan 1 Low "Grey Black Yellow" padded tongue sneakers
The legendary and iconic basketball player Michael Jordan signed a lifetime deal with the swoosh label in 1984 and permanently conjoined the sneaker and fashion world with the basketball world. The duo's deal birthed the iconic Air Jordan sneaker lineage, which became one of the most famous signature sneaker lines of all time.
Subsequently, the duo launched their first signature sneaker model, Air Jordan 1, in 1985. The dynamic duo's debut Air Jordan 1 sneaker model has continued to maintain an undeniable presence in the streetwear sphere. Introducing the 1985-debuted Air Jordan 1 sneaker model and its heritage, the Jordan website says:
"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' will while capturing the imagination of fans worldwide."
The latest Air Jordan 1 Low sneaker comes clad in three colors dominantly: grey, black and yellow. The sneaker's upper comes constructed out of suede material. The base layer of the shoe is clad in black-hued, which is affixed on the perforated toe boxes, mid panels and mesh tongues.
The black contrasts with the charcoal-like grey-hued overlays, which are placed on the forefoot, lacing system and heel counters. The most vibrant hue of all, yellow, is added on the tongue's Jumpman logo, heel tabs and profile swooshes on both the medial and lateral sides.
The pops of red and orange hue is added on the branding details, including the "Air" lettering and swoosh outline in the red, while the winged basketball logo on the heels come clad in orange hue. The look is finished off with white midsoles and grey rubber outsoles.
The sneaker might not feature a Nike SB cosign, but it seems well-suited for skateboarders, as it features additional cushioning and padding on tongues and collars.
The robust suede material's upper should help in holding up the constant wear and tear. The sneaker model is rumored to release via Nike, SNKRS app and select retailers in 2023.
