The new Auto Clave outsole on the Air Jordan 1 gives the shoe an emphasized street-wear appeal, but don’t give the AC unit all the credit; this new Hazelnut/Team Red colorway of the Air Jordan Retro V.1 gives it a versatile appeal, allowing it to be fit for a casual night out or maybe even a hike in the woods! The rugged, nature-y combination of colors, the workboot laces, and the suede upper are all important keys to a nice outdoors shoe, so what can’t the Retro V.1 be part of the group? These are set for a release this January 2012, so take a look below and stay tuned to Sneaker News for more Jordan Brand January 2012 releases.

With most Air Jordan Retros, the number comes right after the word ‘Jordan’. But for the Air Jordan Retro V.1, the number is displaced to signify their status as an offshoot of the ever-evolving Jordan Brand Grown lifestyle series. The V.1 takes the classic AJ1 silhouette, chops it down to ankle height and applies a vulcanized sole to give the familiar vamp a more casual feel. And the changes don’t stop there either, with corded laces adding a slightly rugged touch and an Elephant print Swoosh connecting these back to the Air Jordan Legacy from which they were spawned. Five new styles are slated for next summer; will you pick one of the white-based models or go the Cargo Khaki and Yellow Diamond route? via CK

Jordan Brand has done a lot in the past year to extend their focus beyond the typical basketball offerings and retro pieces. The “Grown” line is leading that wave, shifting the shape of classic Air Jordans to have more of a lifestyle look. Thankfully, the Air Jordan Retro V.1 remains pretty faithful to the model that started it all, going with a lower look, vulcanized soles, and an interesting use of corded laces. We’ve got some new images of the obsidian/light bone colorway previewed here after the jump, which should be available now at your local Jordan Brand retailer. via ShoeGet

With a couple in the rear view and new models on the way, Jordan Brand’s Grown lifestyle sneaker series seems aptly named. The V.9s joined the bunch this summer , and now to round out the Q3 lineup is the debut of the Air Jordan Retro V.1. A vulc-soled lowtop take on the design that started it all, the Retro V.1s come with elephant print swooshes and corded boot-style laces to compliment their suede, canvas and leather uppers. Joining Cool Grey and Team Red colorups is the original lowtop Grown, the V.5 in Iguana nubuck, and all three of these have just hit JB retailers like Extra Butter.

The Jordan Campus Chukka really hit its stride late in the product cycle, and by the time people noticed that dope pack of tonal tumbled editions released, it was almost time for the next Jordan Brand lifestyle silhouette to take its place. That’s when V.2 Grown came onto the scene and with it, a somewhat uniform naming convention (though it’s not exactly nitpicking if you notice that the new V.9 looks quite a bit more like the AJII than the IXs). And even if the numbers stray even further from their Air Jordan Legacy forebears and the ‘Grown’ moniker merely unites JB’s upscale lifestyle offerings, there’s no doubting that they did indeed nail the Air Jordan Retro V.1. We just showed you the black edition slated for a September release, and joining them will be three other pairs with the same elephant print Swoosh. There are minor material blocking variations from pair to pair, so click through to see their subtle differences up close, let us know which ones you like best and stick with Sneaker News for the exact September release date for all four pairs.

The iconic Air Jordan 1 will get a much different look in September, as Jordan Brand will introduce the Air Jordan Retro V.1 – a low-top Air Jordan 1 with a lifestyle-inspired vulcanized midsole and elephant-print traction taken from the Jordan Grown series. This upcoming Black/Cool Grey-White colorway features a black nubuck upper with micro-perforated panels, an elephant print swoosh, and black/yellow work-boot style roped laces. White Jordan branding on the tongue as well as the heel complete the look. Could the Air Jordan Retro V.1 be a sign of other V.1 version of other Air Jordans? Take a look below and expect these to hit Jordan Brand accounts this September.
