Jordan Brand‘s Pinnacle Series took the Air Jordan 1 and gave it a $400 makeover. Utilizing premium 24K gold accents throughout, the snakeskin pairs and a recent Vachetta tan leather rendition reminiscent of Hender Scheme’s creations showcased an attention to detail Jordan Brand has been known for in the past, just in a different context. This Air Jordan 4 “Pinnacle” sample proves that the Jumpman had other plans outside of Mike’s first silhouette, as the Air Jordan 4 was overhauled in a snakeskin upper in a look straight out of JBF Customs’ catalog. Gone are the mesh ventilation units for a more lifestyle ready leather as a lacing system gets bolstered with square-cut leather for a matching grey and tan aesthetic. Even the vintage Flight patch is reworked in snakeskin. While this pair is unlikely to release, it’s a look inside of the brand’s thought process approaching new territories as Jordan’s offerings continues to polarize in two directions – modern day performance basketball silhouettes unlikely to be worn off the court, and the pairs that MJ wore now known as lifestyle classics. What do you think of this AJ4 Pinnacle? Check out a full look below.
