Air Jordan V.1 – Summer 2012

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
