Step Into the Air Jordan 1 Low Black White Grey

Air Jordan sneakers have been around for decades. The Air Jordan 1 Low Black White Grey is an update to the original Retro Jordan 1 design. The Black White Grey colorway adds a new color combination to the lineup.

Air Jordan Sneakers

In 1984, the Chicago Bulls drafted Michael Jordan, and Jordan signed a five-year endorsement with Nike, the athletic footwear company, soon after. The multi-million-dollar endorsement was huge for a young player like Jordan, who hadn’t even proved himself on the professional level yet.

When Jordan wore the first Jordan sneakers on the court during an official game, the sneaker was banned for going against the strict NBA dress code. Because of this, the NBA would give Jordan a $5,000 fine every time he wore them. Nike agreed to pay the fine because it became a great marketing device for Jordan to keep wearing the banned shoes. This rebellion against the NBA dress code was the beginning of the Jordan legacy.

Jordan wore Jordan sneakers with a suit to receive his award for Rookie of the Year. This further solidified their place as legendary sneakers. Jordan sneakers have continued to change and improve since then with new silhouettes and color options coming out almost every year. These releases include new versions of the original Jordan 1, such as the Jordan 1 Low Black White Grey.

The Air Jordan 1 Design

The Air Jordan 1 is the only model in the Air Jordan family to have the Nike Swoosh logo on the shoe. Originally, the design was a high-top with the Jordan Wings logo adding flair on the collar. The Jordan 1 Low Black White Grey keeps most of the original design elements, such as the Nike Swoosh and perforated toe. Because of the low-top profile, the Wings logo is moved to the heel of the sneaker. The Black White Grey Jordan 1 Low was scheduled for release in the summer of 2021 but ended up being released on November 12, 2021.

More About the Air Jordan 1 Low Black White Grey

The Air Jordan 1 Low Black White Grey starts with a white, smooth leather base. Black leather overlays go around the heel, toe, laces, and collar. The gray inner lining matches the Nike Swoosh logo on the sneaker’s side. White stitches on the mid-panel go through the Nike Swoosh. Black laces and a black tongue keep everything cohesive with the overlays, and a gray Jumpman logo adds a pop of contrast. On the heel, the Wings logo brings more of the original Jordan branding to the sneaker. A white midsole and textured black outsole complete the look. The Jordan 1 Low Black White Grey are available in adult and grade school sizes, so anyone can get a pair on eBay to complete their shoe closet.

Air Jordan sneakers have decades of influence on the sneaker community, and the Black White Grey Jordan 1 Lows are another innovation in the Jordan family.
