Jordan Brand introduces another tonal design of the notable Air Jordan 1 Low FlyEase silhouette with the new University Gold makeup. It features a color blocking detail throughout the upper with a crisp white base foundation before being detailed with contrasting hits of black and University Gold.
Branding details follow through at the lateral side where the Swoosh is done up in a bulbous leather paneling and the velcro eyestays are secured using the elastic laces to allow for simple adjustment if needed. The FlyEase technology can be seen as a functional zipper system that starts at the medial collar and travels down to the lateral side by the heel along with a long velcro tag.
