Is there a sneaker more iconic and legendary than the Air Jordan 1. The sneaker itself has a legacy of its own, and rightfully so. Over the past few years, Nike has dropped eye-catching new colorways of the silhouette, offering a wide range of brilliant designs in the process. Nike continues to the revival of the beloved Air Jordan 1.
It’s the silhouette that started the sneakerhead culture as we know it, and the iconic design is back. After bringing back one of the most iconic colorways ever, Nike is back with a new “Obsidian” colorway. The sneaker boasts a unique color that pays homage to Michael Jordan’s past. The sneaker boasts an upper with a tan base while detailed with a dark and light blue leather upper. The Obsidian and University Blue overlays pay homage to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The color scheme also provides a nice new look for the Air Jordan 1.
The Air Jordan 1 in “Obsidian” is set to release on August 31 on Nike’s website. Keep it locked here to The Culture Curators for more outstanding and eye-catching new footwear.
