The Jordan Brand Air Jordan 1 CO.JP sneakers arrive in a Midnight Navy colorway for the season as a part of the collaborative 'CO.JP' program. The program is short of 'Concept Japan' which offers exclusive styles that release in Japan. The Midnight Navy hue was originally launched back in 2001, with a drop of 3,000 pairs in total and now, 19 years later, sees another release.
The entire color scheme is retained with small updates that can be found in the details. The upper is constructed from white leather materials across the toe box, the throat, collar, and quarters. The navy blue accents are informed by sturdy nubuck materials and decorates the collar flaps, the heel, eyestays, and the mudguards.
