The new Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse movie will be hitting theaters in just under a month and to celebrate, the franchise joins [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-flightposite) to deliver a Next Chapter colorway palette. The duo delivers an [Air Jordan 1](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1-low-method-of-make-v3) silhouette that is set to launch online at Nike on May 20th.

When the first movie dropped, Nike also delivered its own Origin Story palette of the Air Jordan 1 and now it plays with the same hues. The iconic animation style that is detailed with a subtle dot pattern can be seen once again and decorated along the panels of the shoe. This offers a subtle contrast and references the theme of the movie. The outsole appears to be red but once it hits UV lighting, it turns into a bright gold.
