While some of the more conventional sneakerheads are imploring the Jordan Brand to put the Jordan 1 back in the vault for a while in an effort to reclaim a touch of its exclusivity, other kicks collectors are praising the Jumpman for their parade of AJ1 exploits, adding pairs to their collections with relative frequency. With no plans of slowing down whatsoever, another experimental version of the sneaker that started it all is set to release in the near future, dressed in a distressed blue suede. Opting to borrow the simple – yet classic – color blocking of the revered Jordan 1 “Chicago”, it swaps out the customary red hue for a light blue somewhat resemblant of a lightly-washed pair of jeans. Other slight deviations from the norm include a darker shade of blue adorning this iteration’s instep as well as a grey color making its presence known on the AJ1’s familiar outsole. Not much else is know regarding this intriguing take on the famed Jordan 1, but grab a first look below, keep it locked for updates, and tell us what you think of this brand new look.
