Jordan Brand introduces a new iteration of the Legacy 312 sneaker model -- this time, it updates the low-cut silhouette of the model. It reveals a new tonal palette that features hues of black and gold throughout the palette with black patent leather making up the toe section, the heel, and the midsection of the sneaker.
It is also accompanied by black leather throughout the silhouette with gold details that add a touch of contrast. This can be seen at the Swoosh by the lateral side of the shoe. The toe box sees a brighter white hue with perforated details for breathability -- it is made from leather materials with nylon at the tongue and collar.
