Nike's iconic Air Jordan 1 sneaker silhouette gets a new makeover in the form of a Lucky Green colorway to honor one of the most memorable performances by Michael Jordan. During his rookie year, Jordan had an outstanding performance of 63 points in a playoff game against the Boston Celtics.
This update is set to join the brand's Holiday 2020 lineup and celebrates Jordan's 1986 performance. The sneaker boasts raw construction elements as it features unstitched eyelets and matte green leather materials. The sneakers are women-exclusive and will be available in larger sizes to accommodate for men sizing as well. Additional details include black and red accents to contrast against the white and green base foundation with the usual Air Jordan Wings logo at the collar.
