Jordan Brand introduces a new iteration of the iconic Air Jordan 1 Low sneaker model and it is inspired by its own Air Jordan 11 Concord. The 11s were the first to use patent leather materials and it is seen across the paneling details of the new Air Jordan 1 Low. It is made from white leather materials along the uppers and is complete with matching mesh tongues.
The contrasting black tonal details are applied in the form of the aforementioned patent leather along the overlays and the Swoosh branding detail. Additional branding details the shoe with Jumpman logos at the tongues, the Wings emblem at the back, and the printed insole. Rounding out the shoes are the white midsoles and icy rubber outsoles.
