Regarding collaborations, Jordan Brand comes up with some creative ideas. However, there are times they have missed the mark. For Spring 2023, the brand has cooked up an exciting pair, known as the Air Jordan 1 High OG ‘Skyline’ that will feature pastel hues.
So, what inspires this Air Jordan 1 release? Nike’s iconic promotional card from 1985, which some have called MJ’s rookie card. But more specifically, Jordan Brand uses the Chicago Skyline shown on the card as its color palette.
This Air Jordan 1 comes dressed in a Vivid Orange, Black, Iced Lilac, True Blue, and Sail color combination. Highlighting the pair is what the brand is calling ‘ombre,’ which means gradient across the upper while constructed with denim. Utilizing mismatched blocking and exposed foam overlays, White leather drapes the base. Black accents the Swoosh logos, Wings, ankle collar, liner, laces, and rubber outsole. A Sail midsole which gives the pair a vintage feel, completes the look.
Furthermore, the ‘Skyline’ Air Jordan 1 High OG will come with special packaging and will release in men’s and extended sizing.
