Artist-Collaborative Colorful Sneakers

J Balvin and Jordan Brand Join Forces on a Special Sneaker

J Balvin and Jordan Brand work in collaboration on a pair of the iconic Air Jordan 1 silhouette. The duo adorn the signature sneaker with a plethora of colors for a bold look that cannot be missed. The vibrant take is very intense and decorates an upper made from canvas materials in a gradient look.

It starts off with red at the middle of the shoe and then translates to bright colors of blue, green, and yellow throughout the toe box and the heel area. The Swoosh at the side of the shoe is complete in a faded pattern for a stark contrast and has a jagged trim that surrounds the perimeter of the Swoosh. Fringes then detail the collar flaps, heel overlay, eyestay, and toe box.
