When the Air Jordan 1 Brooklyn was first revealed at the end of 2023, the Jumpman community wasn’t entirely sure what to think. Was it a sneaker? Was it a boot? Or was it something somewhere in between? While plenty of people were skeptical about the silhouette at first, over the past two years it has built up a loyal following. And if, for whatever reason, you still don’t have a pair in your rotation, you’ll want to take a close look at the upcoming Air Jordan 1 Brooklyn Boot Light British Tan W.
While Jordan Brand hasn't explicitly confirmed it, the influence here is obvious: these Jordans draw heavy inspiration from the legendary Timberland 6-Inch Boot – arguably New York City’s favorite shoe.
