Rare Air: Air Jordan 1 Retro “Canyon Purple” Unreleased Samples

We’ve already seen a large number of Air Jordan 1 releases this year, but as usual some designs just didn’t make the final cut.  This Black/Canyon Purple colorway is a perfect example. This pair has a shiny Black and purple leather upper, covered with matte pinstripes. A white sockliner provides a nice contrast to the design, while black and white laces do the rest. It’s a shame that this pair won’t see a public release. It’s unknown how many were actually produced, but this sample was originally listed on eBay by seller jesusisbackintown.
