Jordan Brand’s lifestyle-focused Flight Utility Collection has opened up a side of the brand that is quite frankly largely uncharted. The new design language skillfully pairs new technology and methods with cues from the legacy, and the recently unveiled assortment of Apex Utility and Proto React models has shown us that there indeed is a dimension of the Jumpman beyond Retros. This new women’s silhouette, revealed at Nike’s massive women’s event in Paris, makes use of the 720 Max Air cushioning unit with a shapely upper that features straps inspired by the Air Jordan VIII, although we point out some very obvious (and fitting) details from the Air Unlimited – a basketball shoe of the same era of the AJ8. These two colorways – a triple black and a women’s Aqua influenced palette – is set to drop on June 6th.
