Nike introduces a new tonal palette of the Air Jordan 1 Low sneaker model with a slew of muted tones. The iconic design is now 40 years old and it gets a new colorway that fuses hues of white, Sail, Star Blue, and Midnight Navy throughout the silhouette.
It is also joined by denim fabric as the main focus at the upper, seen in a lighter shade to bring a more modern feel to the model. This is then accented with darker denim shakes which is seen at the Swoosh emblems for a tonal contrast. The panels at the ankle and heel continue to add more textural elements with a spotlight on the white stitching at the Swoosh.
