The Air Jordan 1 “First Class Flight” Releases Tomorrow

The first-ever Air Jordan sneaker will touch down in a bold new style tomorrow, as the Air Jordan 1 “First Class Flight” is set to make its official debut. Drawing their inspiration from an unlikely-but-compelling place — the Jordan shipping department — these bold new AJ1s feature a somewhat straightforward white and yellow color scheme, but are packed full of special details. The upper is constructed of perforated leather, while the Swoosh branding offers a yin-and-yang style, using white on the lateral side and yellow on the medial side. The marks that give these Air Jordans their moniker, however, are mostly present on the heel and collar: the former features a barcode graphic with MJ’s career stats surrounding it and a recycling-style “23” hit, while the latter offers a a branded badge that looks like a boarding pass and a small tab with Mike’s signature. There’s also a single stitch of red thread running around the tongue. They retail for $160 USD, and are set to hit EU retailers tomorrow, September 26th. They’ll then roll out to US stockists on Saturday, September 28th, so check out our Air Jordan 1 First Class Flight Store List, as the final call for boarding is fast approaching.
