Divided and rebuilt together at the ankle collar, the latest iteration of the all-time classic basketball shoe is a familiar combination of colorways and premium materials. Both literally and figuratively divisive, the upcoming Air Jordan 1 High OG “Light Smoke Grey” has proven to be quite the talking point in recent weeks and finally drops this July 11th, 2020.
The in-house Jordan Brand designers have clearly taken inspiration from the Union Air Jordan 1 pack which continues to reach quadruple-digit prices on the after-market, its impact showing that there are still innovations to be done with the 35-year-old silhouette. With its white tongue, red leather ankle flaps, black Jordan Wings logo, and matching black fabric ankle collar, the upper portion of the shoe is lifted right off the AJ 1 “Chicago”. Elsewhere, however, the namesake “Light Smoke Grey” color is applied across the shoe’s overlays in the form of slightly shaggy suede. The black Swooshes are also done in suede while the toebox and side paneling appear in standard white leather.
