# Chromatic Blue Sneakers The Air Jordan 1 High 'Anodized' is Holographic and Uniform By Colin Smith | Published 2022-01-25 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aj1-anodized References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2022/1/air-jordan-1-high-anodized-release-info) & [nike](http://www.nike.com/?a) Jordan Brand has unveiled an upcoming colorway for its [Air Jordan 1 High](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnabar-colorway), the 'AJ1 Anodized.' This sneaker has literally had its outer shell anodized through an electrochemical process, giving it a metallic look and a durable feel. The entirety of the sneaker, with the exception of the toe vamp and the eyestay, is covered in a [metallic anodized blue color](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/signal-blue). The toe vamp and eyestay are decorated in a dark black mesh. Lastly, the [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/midnight-navy-colorway-1) logo appears in dark black on the upper of the shoe. The AJ1 Anodized boasts the same high form factor of the AJ1 High, meaning it is a large and bulky shoe compared to regular AJ1s. However, this bodes well for consumers who want to make a bold, chromatic statement, as there is more surface area to cover in a chromatic blue. This shoe was originally unveiled by Dearica Hamby, a hooper in the WNBA, though it is expected to go live on Nike's online store in the coming months.
