# Stark Low-Cut Blocked Sneakers The Air Jordan 1 Low FlyEase Gets a University Gold Palette By Amy Duong | Published 2022-06-07 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/university-gold-1 References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2022/6/air-jordan-1-low-flyease-university-gold-dm1206-107-release-info) 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.
