The upcoming Air Jordan 1 “Wings” collection stands as Jordan Brand‘s paramount product capsule. Crafted in Italy, each item exemplifies Jordan Brand’s commitment to meticulous craftsmanship, premium materials and a pursuit of excellence.
The collection pays homage to the enduring elements that solidified Jordan Brand’s iconic presence in sports, culture, and style — from 1984 to the present — elevating them to heirloom status designed to endure for generations.
The apparel assortment encompasses timeless, basketball-inspired silhouettes, featuring a hoodie, varsity jacket, diamond shorts and tracksuit. These pieces spare no expense in utilizing the finest materials, including buttery lambskin, cashmere blends and premium fleece. Other items, such as hoodies and tees, designed with elegant simplicity, draw influence from the Jumpman legacy, showcasing features meticulously perfected over time. For instance, the Jordan Wings net sweater replicates a nylon basketball net, requiring over seven hours of hand-stitching by Italian artisans to achieve a realistic appearance.
Accessories take inspiration from the proportions of the classic Jordan Wings logo, evident in patterns and dimensions. The Wings-shaped luxury pouch, crafted from the finest calfskin, is a prime example. Representing a fresh perspective on an authentic original, the limited-edition Air Jordan 1 High ’85 Wings and Air Jordan 1 Low ’85 Wings were painstakingly handcrafted in Italy. While three of the shoes boast full-grain Italian leather, one features hair-on-hide in addition to full-grain Italian leather. Each upper is hand-stitched by an Italian artisan, showcasing 3-layer hand-painted leather edges. The internal lining is heavy satin, and the sock liners, made of poured PU, possess foot-conforming properties for unparalleled comfort.
The Air Jordan 1 “Wings” collection is set to launch exclusively in Beijing in March 2024.
