What’s this, another Air Jordan 1 Wings release? Not to be confused with the 2011 Dave White-designed colorway, this new design takes inspiration from MJ’s infamous Wings poster, which showcased His Airness’ impressive wingspan. Just like previous release, this pair has been made for Jordan Brand’s WINGS mentorship program.
The Air Jordan 1 Wings utilizes premium gold leather with a beautiful faded design, accentuated with black for a worn look. A silhouette of MJ’s wingspan while holding a basketball has been placed on the tongue for a unique look compared to the “Nike Air” and “Jumpman” logos that we’re used to. Black lining helps provide some ankle cushioning, while matching black leather laces help add to the sneaker’s classic appearance. The midsole is molded in black, while a blue-toned translucent sole reveals a “WINGS” graphic on the bottom. Additional details include a gold metal-plated heel logo, as well as Nike Air logos on the insole.
Release information for the Air Jordan 1 Wings is currently unknown, but expect the sneaker to drop later this year. Most likely, the sneaker will receive a limited production run. More new on this colorway in the near future. What do you think of the Air Jordan 1 Wings so far?
