The Air Jordan 1 Elevate High Gets a Black and White Design

— August 31, 2022 — Lifestyle
Jordan Brand unveils a black and white colorway palette to detail its Air Jordan 1 Elevate High sneaker model for the season. The shoe is detailed with monochromatic hues throughout and sits on top of a thick platform midsole -- this section is actually detailed with a slightly aged look for a retro tint.

There is also a special logo in the form of the original Ball-and-Wings logo in an outlined update. It can be seen detailing the lateral side of the collar with the addition of a large zipper that runs along the medial collar for more accessibility. Additional details include the black laces over the forefoot and the black Swoosh on the midfoot.
