This year, Jordan Brand has been celebrating its 40th anniversary. And to mark this massive milestone, it has been rolling out some of the boldest, most creative sneakers we’ve seen in years – like the upcoming Air Jordan 1 Low SE Rust Canvas.
In the label’s four-decade-long history, there’s truly never been an Air Jordan 1 Low quite like this. While most pairs are crafted from smooth leather or, if you’re lucky, supple suede, this one opts for a rugged canvas construction designed to withstand serious wear and tear. Built on top of a light bone base, it’s layered with contrasting overlays that fade from beige to orange to brown. That distinctive gradient effect extends to the lacing system and even the Nike Swoosh, giving the sneaker an unmistakably hand-dyed, artisanal look.
