The retro-look Jordan Flight 45 has elicited some mix reactions from readers, who have compared it to the Nike Air Yeezy and Reebok Ex-O Fit. But with trends continuing to support high-top silhouettes, Jordan has moved forward with this white and red colorway.

Obviously this pair has more color than the last we saw, which were done with an all black nubuck construction. A small bit of grey on the AJIII midsole breaks up the red, white and black on these. White leather makes up the majority of the upper, while plastic straps and red accents work on the heel and mid-panel. Black is also used throughout, including the upper and liner. “45″ and “Flight” appear on the heel tab and toe, respectively, in Braille perforation.
