Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'First in Flight' (Women)

Description

The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'First in Flight' is one pretty sneaker. It has surely paid homage to the tradition set by basketball great Michael Jordan and to the innovative spirit that took him to dizzying heights. This offering of the Air Jordan 1 pays homage to the beginning of his illustrious career, continuing the investigation of a theme of exploration that pushes the boundaries-as the early aviation pioneers did. This fits squarely in the category of modern design married to a nostalgic reference, which fits right up the alley of appeal for both collectors and fans alike. First, the colorway on this sneaker is a dead ringer; University Blue combined with Sail, Midnight Navy, and University Gold. Inspired by Michael Jordan's college days in the University of North Carolina, it mainly borrows that iconic blue from the school which almost has become associated with his fledgling years in basketball. The color palette further provides a representation of his roots and suggests new beginnings with "first flights" in his career. The combination of hues also lends a visually catchy look-a capturing attention on and off the court.

The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'First in Flight' upper is a combination of premium leather and nubuck to make it durable for long-lasting wear and assure an overall quality feel. Its overlay of leathers is smooth and polished, complemented by the addition of nubuck, which has added a soft, flannel-like texture that works nicely with the overall design of the shoe. On the toe box, perforations add breathability for suitability in extended wear.

Perhaps the most noticeable detail on this shoe is the Nike Air branding on the tongue tag. This feature pays homage to the original 1985 issue of the Air Jordan 1 and also allows for a thoughtfulness to be given to the heritage of the Air Jordan line. It speaks volumes of purism that has continually followed the OG model through the lens of time. Tagged on the collar of this retro shoe is the Wing logo, which has since then continued to be one of the identifying features of the Air Jordan 1 Series.

The extra padding around the ankle bone for comfort is an addition of the padded ankle collar. In fact, it has made the shoes comfortable enough to allow the wearer to play basketball besides being a casual wear. Besides the comfort provided by the ankle collar, the encapsulated Air-Sole unit in the midsole provides lightweight cushioning with impact protection that augments comfort during everyday use.
