Air Jordan 1 High – Black Patent Sample

The Air Jordan 1 has become something like Jordan Brand’s Dunk, a versatile canvas upon which to paint the shades of many different material and color combinations.  And as with any model churning out tons of new releases each season, the AJ1 has seen its share of nixed samples, one such being this black patent leather edition tweeted by sneakerhead Jermaine Tolentino.  Jermaine’s Jays are probably most similar to 2009’s Tuxedo/Prom Pack of AJ1 Phat Lows, though these eschew any semblance of a Chicago Bulls look in favor of a clean grey sockliner.  Could they be the same rare design Nelly was spotted wearing early last year?  Click through for more and consider contacting Mr. Tolentino to make an offer over Twitter.
