The newest release from Nike's Air Jordan, the Jordan Shine, is Nike's attempt to break into the high-fashion sneaker realm. The Jordan Shine uses the silhouette from one of the most iconic sneakers ever, the Jordan 1.
The sneaker's mid-section is made up of high-quality leather and is weaved to create a eye-catching pattern. As the name suggests, the sneakers have a polished shine to them. The new look is more for fashion than it is for the hardwood, but I wouldn't be surprised to see these on the court anyway. The simple bold colors and high-end leathers are going to make these one of the most expensive Jordan releases to date, and will be sold at retailers like Barneys New York.
These sneakers will be released soon and we can expect black and red options. Since there is only one picture available for now, we may very well see other colors become available as well.
