Channelling some of the transformative energy of long-time collaborator COMME des GARCONS — which most recently saw to motorcycle-inspired creations only weeks ago — Jordan Brand is, of all things, borrowing the usage of feminine bows seen on the Japanese label’s own Flyknit Racer creation, though it arrives here on the Air Jordan 1 Mid, dressed in striking feminine pinks, and oversized by comparison. Leaning just a bit closer to purple at its most standout features, the pair is otherwise quite simple: forefoot constructions and sole units all bear neutrals of black and white, respectively, with even swooshes, laces, and lining adopting the same colorless treatment. This, however, lets most of the focal modifications to steal the show as velvet-like textures take seat at the rear-placed overlays and stitched on pull tabs. Heavily contrasting against its quiet backdrop, the flaps and counter themselves lead up to the same-toned accessory whose placement shrouds the entire tongue and extends far over both sides. Grab a detailed look at it right here, and if you’re interested in picking up a set, they’ll be sure to release at select retailers and Nike.com soon.
