Jordan Brand and Crenshaw Skate Club Drops the New Jordan 36 Low PE
Jordan Brand introduces the latest iteration of the Jordan 36 Low PE sneaker model made in collaboration with Crenshaw Skate Club's Tobey McIntosh. The court-ready silhouette is updated with a design language that is true to McIntosh and his upbringing as the main inspiration.
The notable details can be found on both the medial and lateral walls, which are both made with brown exterior and rougher textures, which are meant to symbolize the apartment buildings that he grew up in. The heel tabs have also been accented with a cement print to capture how black skaters are the foundation that holds the skate industry together and stays strong. It is then rounded out with touches of branding.
