On April 30, Nike will be releasing the Nike Air Jordan 1 KO Syracuse orange shoes after a long wait. Official images of the shoe dropped last month and left fans excited for the upcoming release.
This shoe moves away from the neon-infused Billie Eilish Colorway, bringing fans back to a familiar color scheme. The orange-dressed shoe was made to celebrate Syracuse University and is described as a continuation of the “BE TRUE TO YOUR SCHOOL” releases.
The shoe features orange overlays, the base is made of canvas, and a white neutral tone is used to match the kicks' midsole, tongue, and premium leather collar. Priced at only $140, these shoes are sure to sell out shortly after their release thanks to their collector appeal.
