FlyEase technology is still not widespread enough to make accessible footwear more readily available, but a newly-surfaced Air Jordan 1 is helping change that.
Over the last handful of years, Nike, Inc. has reimagined some of its most iconic footwear designs through the lens of accessibility. The result has been nothing short of amazing, as styles like the Air Jordan 1 FlyEase and Nike Air Max 90 FlyEase have allowed those with limited mobility to enjoy some of the most popular sneaker models without the need to struggle with laces and other traditional design cues. The latest Air Jordan modified with FlyEase functionality – which differs amongst pairs – takes on an iconic “Black/Cement Grey/University Red” color scheme. Widely-referred to as simply “Black Cement,” the makeover cements (no pun intended) the pair within Michael Jordan’s signature line’s legacy, regardless of its modern update.
Most of the upper is clad in a pitch-dark tone à la Air Jordan 4 “Bred Reimagined” set to launch in 2024. “Cement Grey” contrast arrives at the toe box, profile swooshes, and lower heel, as well as the Velcro-assisted strap around the ankle. Chicago Bulls-friendly ruby flair animates branding on the tongue and radial-patterned traction underfoot. Each aforementioned component comes together to form a marvel in modern footwear, championing accessibility along the way.
