Updated November 7th, 2016: The Air Jordan 31 “Battle Grey” releases on November 19th.
Nike Basketball is rolling out their “Battle Grey” Collection later this weekend, an ominous greyscale take on their three signature shoes and the Nike Hyperdunk 2016 to commemorate battling expectations, doubts, and the haters in the early stages of the season. Likewise, Jordan Brand is unleashing the “Battle Grey” colorway for its Jordan athletes to start the season as a show of solidarity. With a premium cracked leather upper, embossed Swoosh branding to contrast the stitched Jumpman logo on the side panel, and the unique choice to move away from the Flyweave woven upper for a more solid monochromatic aesthetic, the “Battle Grey” look is said to reflect the challenges that the athletes will face in the new season.
A release date of October 29th was originally confirmed, but Jordan Brand states that a release is TBD. Check out more detailed shots below and be on the lookout for this pair to arrive via Nike.com soon.
