reinforced sidewalls resist compression during side steps

The iconic Air Jordan 1 silhouette was a skate staple in the 80s due to its full-leather construction and tough midsole/outsole combination. Working together again with Nike SB, the Air Jordan 1 returns in this 'Lakers vs. Bulls' edition that launched in May 2019. This colorway pays homage to the legendary matchup through a Court Purple and University Gold scheme on the leather upper that wears away to reveal red and black alternate hues. Lateral Swooshes, a Wings logo and nylon tongue fall in line with the original look.
