Revived Minimal Basketball Sneakers

Jordan Brand Launches the Air Jordan 1 High OG Twist 2.0

Jordan Brand introduces a new iteration of the notable Air Jordan 1 High OG sneaker model with the Twist 2.0 colorway palette. The original Twist palette made its original debut back in 2019, launching in correlation to the Kentucky Derby at the time, known as the 'Shoe of the Derby'.

The Twist 2.0 stays true to the original design as it has a black overlaying detail and Swoosh accents in a hairy texture. The sole unit foundation features a blend of the classic white Air Jordan 1 midsole and a black outsole. This is the same detail that was launched on the original Twist colorway design. The base foundation is made with a light grey leather material this time around and the Wings logo is done in a metal look.
