What was once a Japan-exclusive release has come back to give you more. If you were not one of the lucky 3000 who got their OG pair back in 2001, now is the time to snatch your kicks. Released last November 2020 with a retail tag of 170 USD, the Nike Air Jordan 1 High "Midnight Navy" is back here again to satisfy your AJ1 cravings.
Channeling the essence of the 2001 OG model, the fan-favorite silhouette comes built in a fresh white, midnight navy, and metallic silver colorway with bits of its own twist. The assembled premium materials do not disappoint, capturing the eyes of sneakerheads with its contemporary visuals.
Zooming into the sneakers, the upper sports a white tumbled leather on the toe box, side panels, and ankle collar that bounces back on every crease. The signature midnight navy color dresses the mudguards, eyelets, heels, and the classic AJ1 wings in matted nubuck for that sleek look. Literally shining in the spotlight, the sneakers are adorned with a metallic silver Nike swoosh, creating a contrasting sheen on the matted upper. But not only that, a bejeweled Air Jordan Wings logo is now decorating the lateral panels in the same metallic silver accent. A white tumbled leather tongue comes embroidered with the Nike Air logo on the center and partnered with navy blue oval-shaped laces. Meanwhile, as a homage to the initial 2001 release, Nike switches out the inner Jumpman tag design with 2001 and 2020 instead of the usual model number. Wrapping up the clean-cut aesthetics, the AJ1 High Midnight Navy features the air cushioning unit inside a sail midsole atop the iconic circular traction outsole in navy blue.
The AJ1 High Midnight Navy proves that quality and versatility are its main points, attracting sneakerheads globally even 19 years later. Don it with anything in your fashion rotation and still, you'll never go out of style.
