One of the cornerstones of what we were trying to do with this shoe was integrate the idea of 'Rawthenticity,' or showing how the raw pieces of each of these sustainable design elements was coming to life, says Jarrod Hale, Nike NSW senior project line manager. The Air Jordan 1 Mid is still the brand's champion, leading the charge through sheer numbers. It debuted February 1989 during that year's NBA All-Star Game in Houston. The sneakers originally retailed for $110 USD and were designed by Tinker Hatfield.
The KOBE V appeared on court in 2009 with big shoes to fill. Its predecessor redefined a belief in low-top performance, after all. The shoes were also remembered for its high-contrast with the distinctive coloring of the leather upper and mudguard. It was one of the most visible sneakers on television. The parallel path creates visual continuity between the shoe and the closely connected Nike Zoom Alphafly Next. Aside from the color treatment on these Jordan 36s, this upcoming release features a serious taco mascot with a Swoosh logo mimicking Tatum's signature eyebrows.
This approach evolves the concept-driven Nike N. Every game, I write on my shoes, 'Be Legendary,' which is what Kobe signed on my shoes back in 2016, says Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker. Few non-signature shoes have had as successful a postseason legacy as the Soldier. Each of those Soldier games from LeBron were so dominant, the images of the stripped-down, strapped shoes are inseparable from the performances themselves.
The overlays Swoosh included are suited up in black, its leathers smooth all through the profile. A white base lays underneath in the same material, matching the midsole but not its tread nor the dark shade of the laces and tongue. Irving grew up and entered the professional arena during an era that benefited from being able to pick footwear from the best of the best. Specifically, there was opportunity to play and chill in both the latest designs and the greatest silhouettes of the past.
I don't take it for granted that I have my own shoe with the Jordan Brand, and I'm extremely excited about this one, says Westbrook. We can already picture the vintage customizers go to town on these considering how 80's-era-friendly this composition is. The Air Jordan 1 Mid often receives colorways far better than that of its high-top counterpart. And later this year, that will only ring louder, truer, as the silhouette has been revealed in numerous new make-ups.
The AJI High FlyEase adds the new benefit of easy entry while staying true to the silhouette's iconic look, colors and materials. The shoes were also remembered for its high-contrast with the distinctive coloring of the leather upper and mudguard. This offering comes with black and white lace sets and arrives in OG packaging with a color twist. To finally embark upon that moment was surreal. The titular Fire Red, then, accents the collar, midsole, and eyelets, while grey neutrals and the signature cement print dress the rest of the eye stays and the toe counter, respectively. According to newly surfaced information, the Air Jordan 3 Fire Red 2022 is currently slated to release on August 6th.
