Some food for thought today as just the other day we were discussing the ever growing number of releases of the Jordan 1. On it’s own the sneaker is classic, but we had to ask if releasing different colorways and different materials was a disservice to one of the most iconic sneakers of all time. More than anything, the last thing we want is to have the Jordan 1 go by way of the AF-1, AM90, 180 and ’95. That having been said, we feel somewhat guilty for loving these new releases. We’re not sure what we love the most; the retro vibe, the Dark Obsidian shiny patent material, or the minimalist-monotone colorway. Either way, we’re into the use of patent leather that adds a certain elegance to an otherwise very rough-looking silhouette. Available here.
