After winning her seventh Australian Open tournament, it's reported that Serena Williams has accumulated a total of 23 title wins, which Nike chose to honor with a selection of limited-edition Jordans.
The series comes in three different variations -- with Serena's favorite model, the Air Jordan 1 included, as well as the NikeCourt Flare. The latter silhouette, which has a higher top than the Air Jordan 1, comes in two different colorways: pink and black, and red and black.
Serena's preferred silhouette is only offered in pink and black however, as these are said to be her two favorite colors. Those interested in getting a pair of the limited-edition Jordans will be able to find them at select Nike stores starting January 28th.
