The Air Jordan 1 High Letterman

[AliceWang1992]

Derek Jeter once had a signature shoe with Jordan Brand called the Clutch Nike Air Max 1 Womens — Jeter Clutch, more specifically — a well-received baseball-inspired cross-trainer. Now, a new model will carry on the name’s legacy for Jordan.The Jordan Clutch clearly takes root in basketball performance and design, but heads down a Nike Air Max 1 Dames more fashion-oriented lifestyle path. Tumbled leather runs from heel to toe on the upper, a sort of mudguard setup that overlays a luxe quilted nubuck. Below, a classic hoops sole is cushioned with visible Air in the heel, ensuring comfort Nike Free Run 3 Mujer and style go hand in hand.During his tenure with the Atlanta Hawks, Mike Bibby debuted one of the great Air Jordan 12 PEs of all time; a bold, bright red pair starkly contrasted with white color-blocking. This summer, the shoe will finally hit stores.OK, technically the Air Jordan 12 Gym Red that’s launching in a few months isn’t quite a dead ringer for the Bibby Nike Air Max 90 Womens Grey edition, but the differences are minimal. The 2016 rendition has a vivid red leather upper, if a shade or two deeper than Mike’s version, and that same scaly white forefoot and matching outsole. A black inner-lining replaces the old white liner though, and Bibby’s logo is of course foregone, but this is a stunning, largely faithful recreation of a coveted classic.With the Rio Olympics getting underway in August, the Olympic-inspired kicks simply will not stop this Nike Blazer Low Womens year. Well . . . until late-August, anyway.Joining a list of coveted revived classics on shelves this summer is something a bit different. The Air Jordan 7 Tinker Alternate reimagines the classic Olympic VII — itself typically a quadrennial retail fixture — utilizing the same red, white, blue and gold palette, but reworking those colors into something different entirely: a darker upper, split between blue and white; more prominent use of gold; gradient red.The Air Jordan 4 has breathed high-fashion new life recently thanks to faux pony hair and snakeskin-embossed leather editions, but next up is perhaps its most pronounced designer turn.The Air Jordan 4 Premium Navy incorporates ultra-luxe quilted leather throughout the upper, a nod to the high-end sneakers from fashion houses like Gucci and Coach. Bronze embellishments emphasize Womens Adidas Superstar the premium feel, and a white sole unit keeps things classically Jordanesque.Drake recently announced that his next album, Views From the 6, will release April 29. As if that weren’t enough, it looks like Jordan Brand will follow that eagerly awaited launch with a Drizzy-themed one of its own: the white Air Jordan 12 OVO.Embracing the signature elements of Drake’s Js, the white Air Jordan 12 OVO sports a tumbled white leather upper, overlaid with a stingray-style tonal leather mudguard at the forefoot. That sea of clean, crisp white is elegantly offset by metallic gold accents and eyelets meanwhile, putting a luxe, almost high-fashion touch on the shoe.One of the year’s most anticipated collections, the Air Jordan 10 City Pack hearkens back a couple of decades to 1995, reviving that year’s City Pack concept but remixing a Nike Air Max 1 Ultra Moire Womens few of the included cities and adding still a few more. This week, one of the remixes: The Air Jordan 10 NYC releases tomorrow.The shoe sports a sleek, elegant black leather upper with a subtly weathered overlay, embodying the clean, classic style of the Big Apple, from architecture to fashion.David Letterman returns this week, albeit unofficially and in shoe form. Still, any Dave allusion is good. The Air Jordan 1 High Letterman hits stores on Saturday.Today, get your latest, greatest look courtesy of one of said stores, Lexington, Kentucky’s Oneness. Inspired by the bright red tracksuit Michael Jordan wore during his first nighttime television appearance, on Late Night with David Letterman, the shoe is cloaked in vibrant red leather, with navy accents and a white midsole. Underscoring the TV theme, the insoles are emblazoned Nike Free 5.0 Homme with graphics of an “On Air” light and microphone.There’s still no official release date on the books, but with the mass proliferation of Air Jordan 11 Low Navy Gum photos of late, it can’t be far off.
Today, gaze once more upon the eagerly awaited new colorway, a sample of which was world-premiered by Marcus Jordan, son of Michael, over two years ago. Between the navy Cordura upper wrapped with tonal patent leather and the white-on-gum sole unit, there’s not much to dislike here. In fact, this one’s likely destined for all sorts of “Best of 2016” lists comes December.It’s been a month or so since we’ve heard anything from the upcoming retro of the Air Jordan 1 High Metallic Blue, one of the original colorways of the AJ1, so what better time to check in?A tribute to America’s biggest and, perhaps, most fashionably influential Nike Air Huarache Hombre metropolis, the Air Jordan 10 NYC releases next week. Today, official photos!
Sporting a dark, elegant palette befitting Gotham’s architecture and sartorial sensibilities, the shoe features a blacked-out leather upper. Tumbled leather through the tongue and surrounding area is surrounded by a smooth, faded leather through the rest of the upper for a classic, antiqued look. Gold “NYC” embroidery on the collar and matching speckles on the outsole add a subtle touch of contrast — minimal, but striking in their deviation.
