The latest to drop from Jordan Brand is a pair of the Air Jordan 1 High sneaker in a new Washed Black colorway palette. This gives the shoe a worn-in look with hues of black, Light Smoke Grey, Sail, and Fire Red throughout the entire silhouette.
The main update is seen in the use of fabric as suede materials are the main overlaying details in place of the usual leather overlays. The collars are designed in a dual tonal look and to add a pop of color for contrast, there is Fire Red making up parts of the tongue section. The Washed Black colorway is supposedly launching on June 10th later this year but official dates will be confirmed later.
