ANOTHER COLORWAY OF THE AIR JORDAN 1 HIGH “ELEPHANT PRINT” EMERGES....

We already know that we can look forward to a black colorway of the Air Jordan 1 High sporting Jordan Brand‘s iconic elephant print, and now we know that shoe has a white counterpart also on the way. While a True Blue-inspired colorway would have continued the parallels between these upcoming pairs and 2002’s Supreme/Nike SB collaboration, the color palette here is resolutely neutral, sticking to white, black and grey tones. A light grey application of the elephant print gives the kicks an understated appeal. Stay tuned for the release date....

AIR JORDAN 1 "ELEPHANT PRINT" 2016

Elephant print is forever tied to Jordan Brand, and though the iconic design was first introduced to the world through the Air Jordan 3, 2016 will see the Air Jordan 1 model receive the distinctive crackle treatment. Clearly reminiscent of the legendary Supreme x Nike SB collaboration from 2002, the shoe has nearly identical color blocking as the black Dunk model, with grey elephant print overlays set atop a smooth black leather base and tonal black Swoosh. Priced at $140, the kicks are scheduled to release in January 2016....

University Red makes an appearance on the Swoosh and for the hidden “Dance to Greatness” call-out underneath the midfoot strap. This latest is scheduled to launch December 11.....
