Air Jordan 1 KO – Holiday 2011 Quickstrikes

Among the most heavily debated uses of an oxidized, pre-yellowed sole to convey a vintage look very well might have been with the release of last year’s Air Jordan 1 AJKO retros. The original colorways returned with just a little something extra, and enough sneakerheads were interested in seeing them in their pristine ‘natural’ state that many traded secrets on how best to remove the antique look. No such effort will be necessary on the latest round of AJKOs and might even be a detriment to the blackout pair. The grey and brown joints stick with the classic white midsole but tonal uppers helps the whole pack feel fresh, and you can see photos of all of them after the jump. Will the AJKO thrive in this new role as a lifestyle look, or will you vote with your dollars for another from Jordan Brand’s ever expanding catalog during this heavily populated holiday season? via IST

AJKO dont say AJCANVAS. give it up! thats like saying oh the jordan 5 is not a jordan 5 because it doesnt have 3M. 3M was on some classics but its not called Jordan 5-3M
these just remind me of the Nike Vandals since they're all leather and no canvas.
How is this an AJKO if it's not on canvas? Thats the whole point of an AJKO
The Blackout pairs aren't too bad.
Hmmm, where's the canvas?
@LCHolland...Save your pointless words, what do you think made it a "classic" in the first place?? It's the OG colorways we crave..
I dig the all black. But you can never go wrong with the OG colorways.
where's the bred colorway!?!?!?!?!
These are ok, but canvas wouldve made these great. JB is taking away the most important thing that made KO's the KO's, and thats the CANVAS. Nike outlet and sale rack pick up these will be.
im likin dat brown pair fa sum reason
bad enough that they eliminated the Nike Air from the tongue, but now they are disgracing the og colorways with this tonal shit? i do not approve JB...smh
Some people just need to STFU with all these old colors. Its time for something new. Stop complaining about JB messing up a classic, STFU!!! Living in the past. These are some nice colors for the KO's.
Nice clean looking...i like em.
I really hope they don't kill this model..
BOOO...they could'nt make enuff of the OG colorway AJKO for everyone to cop at a reasonable aftermarket price, but they have plenty of steam left to release these never seen before bad lifestyle colorways. OMG never thought I would see the day the AJKO became a "Lifestyle" release shoe, OUCH!!
so a brand shouldn't try and profit off of a profitable model? GOD FORBID!!! I would also like to voice my anger Ferrari should only make red cars!!!
Please don't do this shit mayne fuckin up badd!!!!
