We’re Getting Panda Vibes From The Air Jordan 1 Elevate High Dark Ash

Published September 2, 2022 at 12:00 AM

There’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that hype surrounding Panda-inspired colorways has reached new heights. Sneakers like the Dunk High “Panda” and Dunk Low “Panda” are amongst some of the most popular pairs in the game, and now, it looks like Jordan Brand will be releasing its own take with the Air Jordan 1 Elevate High "Dark Ash."

Bearing more of a resemblance to the Air Jordan 1 High OG “Black White” from 2014, the latest Elevate release takes the colorblocking to another level - both physically and metaphorically. Boasting a full leather construction, while the panels aren’t exactly black like some of the other sneakers mentioned so far, it’s almost like an off-black which gives it an even more interesting aesthetic. Underfoot, the extra chunky Nike Air midsole has been dipped in a creamy coconut milk hue for a vintage-inspired look, and other than the Swoosh that shoots across the laterals and medials, these Jordan's are pretty much void of any branding. In fact, even the winged basketball emblem has been replaced with a simple outline.

The Air Jordan 1 Elevate High Dark Ash W is set to release sometime in December 2022 in women’s sizes for $145. Expected to drop at Nike, the SNKRS app, and select Jordan Brand retailers both online and in-store.
