Jordan Brand has dabbled in the world of luxury through collaborative efforts, like its Air Jordan 1 High and Low with Dior, and via in-line offerings, like the Wings, Pinnacle, and Bin23 series. However, they’ve never teamed up with Swarovski, the famed jeweler who has long worked with The Swoosh on projects across Nike Sportswear models. That’s about to change with the launch of the upcoming Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG Crystal.
Taking the iconic Air Jordan 1 Low Shadow colorway, Jordan Brand keeps the traditional colorblocking intact, applying black shades to the mudguard, eyelets, midfoot panel, and tongue. Stealth grey highlights appear on the toebox, Swoosh, Nike Air branding on the tongue, and heel overlays. The star of the show is the thousands of Swarovski crystals applied to each panel, matching the shade of each respective overlay and underlay and coming in varying sizes.
