Jordan Brand has a long history of introducing new variants to the Jordan 1 family, giving the sneaker new materials and tooling on what seems like a yearly basis. At the end of 2023, we were given the Jordan 1 Brooklyn Boot, which combined the DNA of MJ’s first signature sneaker with a chunk, platform boot you’d find from brands like Dr. Martens. With a year under its belt and multiple colorways hitting shelves, Jordan Brand is bringing a low-cut version of the boot to market, with the first colorway being a Black Pony rendition.
While the original Jordan 1 Brooklyn Boot transformed the model into a high-cut design, this low-top variant falls more in line with the Jordan 1 Elevate Low as the shape of the Air Jordan 1 Low remains here. However, there are some slight differences to the OG, as we see a metallic silver plate with Air Jordan branding attached to the tip of the toebox, surrounded by black pony hair. This furry material comprises the rest of the paneling, including the Swoosh, eyestays, midfoot, and tongue, with the all-black look only broken up by the aforementioned toecap, red Nike Air embroidery on the tongue, and a metallic silver Jordan Wings logo on the heel.
