The Air Jordan 1 ‘85 silhouette has just debuted a ‘Black/White’ colorway that will join the list of Nike sneakers under the ‘Panda’ name. The two-tone sneaker has proven itself to be an iconic colorway, with the Dunk Low and Hi ‘Panda’ sneakers seeing a significant increase in popularity over recent years.
The upcoming sneaker features the Air Jordan winged basketball logo on the collars, as well as the Nike logo on the tongue. A white leather base acts as a canvas for the contrasting black overlays. The sneaker also uses signature Nike design elements like a perforated toe box, white midsoles, and black rubber outsoles.
The Air Jordan 1 High ‘85 ‘Black/White’ will release in February 2023 on Nike’s website.
