Air Jordan 1 Metallic Gold & Navy

Air Jordan 1 Metallic Gold

Jordan Brand has taken a lot of flack from enthusiasts for the overwhelming amount of AJ1s releasing in the last year or so. And while the 1 may be the Jordan Dunk these days, a lot of the new colorways are different from other sneakers we’ve seen, including these navy and gold metallic colorways.

Available now, both of these Air Jordan 1s rely on their material and color choice for their designs, as they maintain single-shade uppers. The metallic gold pair is actually reflective, broken up with grey laces and a grey tongue label, while white is used for the liner and midsole. For the navy blue pair, the patent leather contains a metallic flake you can see when you look super close. The liner is a slightly lighter shade of blue, while the midsole breaks up the blue.

Air Jordan 1 “Leroy Smith”

Air Jordan 1 "Leroy Smith"

The man who motivated Michael Jordan now has a shoe to call his own. As for now, these will be a Japan-only release later this week, but are a great pick-up to help you “get your basketball on.”

Taking cues from the most cliche of 90’s designs and themes, these Air Jordan 1s use a black and gum sole, with a black leather base for the upper. Red leather is used on the top of the toe, collar and tongue, while gold is used for a big section of the rear upper. The mid-panel uses a two-tone striped pattern, mixing shades of blue. Gold contrast stitching is used around the midsole and toe cap, bringing the colorway full circle.

With all the Jordan 1s we’ve seen lately, like the Fall/Winter Collection we previewed last week.

Air Jordan 1 PHAT Womens

Air Jordan 1 PHAT WMNS

There have been so many Jordan releases lately that it’s almost overwhelming, but now JB is showing some love for the ladies with these Air Jordan 1 PHAT WMNS.

Obviously, the first thing that jumps at you is the bright pink patent leather on the swoosh, toe and back section. Nike and Jordan are referring to the color as “China Rose,” though, just in case any fellas want to size up for these and justify the hue. The pink sections aren’t the only color jumping off on these though, as the liner features a spotted black and lime green print for contrast. No doubt about it, these are meant to draw some attention.

While the AJ1 has become JB’s release-aplenty as of late, it’s nice to see a women’s color-up for the sneakerheadettes out there.

Air Jordan 1 Low Velcro Black/Gum

Air Jordan 1Many of you undoubtedly bashed the Air Jordan I Velcro Premier Low LS when it released this past March. Was it the colorway or the fact that it owned a pair of velcro straps? If it was the latter reason, you are probably not too excited to see this Air Jordan 1 Low Velcro Black/Gum. 

It simply features a primarily black leather base mixed with a outsole of the same color and a gum bottom. However, aiding to your disappointment, it surely possesses a pair of velcro straps on the midfoot area. Yet, one of the more interesting features on this shoe is the woven nylon side panels. Available now at Kumastock. What are your thoughts on the Air Jordan 1 Low Velcro Black/Gum? Click here to view additional photos.
