For the Air Jordan 1, all eyes are fixated upon its highly anticipated collaboration with Dior, but after Aleali May recently showed off her personal pair confirming its extremely limited 8,500 quantity, sneakerheads aren’t necessarily holding their breath in hopes of getting their hands on them. In turn, Jordan Brand is making sure to keep their fans laced with other alternatives of the classic silhouette, one of which is this Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG option expected to release during the Summertime. According to @zsneakerheadz, the Beaverton design team is ushering in a new “Light Smoke Grey” makeover. The image posted here above is only a mockup, but it’s possible that a majority of its look will pander to a greyscale motif with its smoky hue touching on the lacestays, toe tips, and heels seated next to pitch black accents falling upon the Swooshes, laces, and ankle collars. In addition, a splash of “Varsity Red” is promised to come into play in a small capacity, with the potential to land along its Wings logo panel, followed by an additional splash towards the tongue branding. Peep a first look here, and expect these to release on Nike.com and at select retailers on July 11th for $170 USD.
