Andrew Rizzo The Jumpman is the greatest signature athlete logo of all time, and it’s not particularly close. First utilized in 1985 and finding its way onto the Jordan 3 in ’88, the iconic silhouette of Mike flying through the air set a high bar that’s yet to be rivaled by any other subsequent signature logo. This upcoming Jordan 1 Low for women pays homage to the photoshoot that birthed the insignia, set to release on October 24th.
Unlike the Jordan 1 Skyline, which features a sunset gradient akin to the background of the Jumpman photo, this AJ1 Low delivers an inverted take on “Bred” color blocking. Flipping the original colorway on its head, the shoe features a cyan patent leather toe box, Swoosh, and heel. The rest of the upper is comprised of white leather, while an all-black sole loves underfoot. Tying the theme behind the delivery together, the insoles feature two polaroid images of Mike’s dunk, one of which is pre-developed in yellow and cyan.
Importantly, the Jumpman’s true origin has been the subject of contentious debate. Before Nike shot the now iconic MJ photo, Jordan performed an awfully similar dunk for a LIFE magazine photoshoot wearing New Balance shoes.
In any case, the women’s Air Jordan 1 “Polaroid” releases via Nike.com and Jordan retailers on October 24th, retailing for $125. Enjoy detailed images below and take advantage of the purchase links in our “Where To Buy” section on that date.
