Though the hype for the Air Jordan 1 High may not be at the same level it was in years prior, we’ve got plenty of options to choose from on the silhouette in 2023. Looking ahead to the tail end of the year, Jordan Brand is not only crafting ultra-expensive pairs of the model under the “Wings” program but will be bringing back the “Element” version of the silhouette. Recently seen with the “Sky J Purple” colorway, the Air Jordan 1 Element has just appeared in “Black Sky J Light Olive.”
Taking on a more weather-resistant build than the OG AJ 1, the silhouette features ripstop nylon and Gore-Tex-covered suede. A shade of blue dubbed noise aqua takes over the toebox and collar while we see the various suede overlays, seen on the mudguard, eyestays, and heel, come in black. Piercing off the black tongue is a set of orange, black, and noise aqua laces that match the orange Nike Air text above it. Sandwiched between the Air Jordan Wings logo on the collar and Gore-Tex branding on the heel overlay is a sky j light olive ripstop nylon. Completing the design is the sail AJ 1 midsole paired with a black and blue rubber outsole.
The Air Jordan 1 Element Black Sky J Light Olive is set to release Holiday 2023 through Nike and select Jordan Brand retailers online and in-store. Coming in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $200.
