Iconic Shiny Leather Sneakers

Jordan Has Just Released The First Look At The Jordan Shine Sneakers

— March 16, 2014 — Fashion
The newest release from Nike's Air Jordan, the Jordan Shine, is Nike's attempt to break into the high-fashion sneaker realm. The Jordan Shine uses the silhouette from one of the most iconic sneakers ever, the Jordan 1.

The sneaker's mid-section is made up of high-quality leather and is weaved to create a eye-catching pattern. As the name suggests, the sneakers have a polished shine to them. The new look is more for fashion than it is for the hardwood, but I wouldn't be surprised to see these on the court anyway. The simple bold colors and high-end leathers are going to make these one of the most expensive Jordan releases to date, and will be sold at retailers like Barneys New York.

These sneakers will be released soon and we can expect black and red options. Since there is only one picture available for now, we may very well see other colors become available as well.
Trend Themes
1. High-fashion Sneakers - The Jordan Shine is Nike's venture into the high-fashion sneaker market, presenting an opportunity for innovative designs and materials.
2. Luxury Leather Footwear - The use of high-quality leather and eye-catching weaves in the Jordan Shine offers an opportunity for disruptive advancements in luxury footwear.
3. Expensive Sneaker Releases - The Jordan Shine's bold colors and high-end materials will make it one of the most expensive Jordan releases to date, creating opportunities for premium pricing strategies and exclusivity.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Retail - The release of high-fashion sneakers like the Jordan Shine presents opportunities for fashion retailers to cater to the growing luxury sneaker market.
2. Sportswear - The Jordan Shine blurs the lines between athletic footwear and high-fashion, opening up opportunities for sportswear brands to explore innovative designs and collaborations.
3. Luxury Goods - The use of premium materials and a polished look in the Jordan Shine showcases the potential for luxury goods companies to expand into the sneaker market and target affluent consumers.
