Let’s take an up close look at the Air Jordan Alpha 1. One of the first things that stands out is the plush lining, which is a major upgrade over the typical Retros, which are meant for lifestyle and not so much on-court. Upgrades like that and extra breathability from the perforated side panels should help Jordan Brand ballers, who we expect to be rocking the updated classic in upcoming games.
They might notice a difference in traction, as the stars that line AJ1/Dunk outsoles (the ones you use to decide how much wear a used sneaker has really seen) are added to the ball pivot. Take a look at all these details and more after the jump, and stick with Sneaker News for updates on the Air Jordan Alpha 1 release date. via Kenlu

You know those 1′s are comfortable. They look real good but I’m waiting on the white/university blue/black color that’s coming out next year as well.

I hear these are technologically better than the Retro 1s and OGs, comfortable too. I’ll cop but first I want to try them on, then I’ll decide…!

And these don’t feel like you’re walking on cardboard, that’s a good thing.
