The Jordan Brand has announced that it will be launching an all-new version of its highly-coveted Air Jordan 1 Low sneaker in a striking 'True Blue' colorway. The new model borrows its color scheme from the Jordan 3 'True Blue,' and, therefore, serves as a subtle nod to the iconic silhouette.
The shoe features a white leather base and grey textured overlays that resemble a reptile-like skin. Meanwhile, Jordan Brand's signature elephant print is found on the eyelets and the heel, serving to balance out the sneaker's blue suede collars. In addition, the Wings logo on the heel, and the shoe's interior lining and outsoles are dressed with the same blue hue.
For those interested, the Air Jordan 1 Low 'True Blue' is set to drop later this year at select retailers.
