Jordan Brand and Isabelle Harrison of the Dallas Wings have joined forces to showcase a new ‘Air Jordan 1 High’ silhouette in a vivid orange color scheme. Also in the post, Isabelle Harrison confirms she is the newest addition to the Jordan roster of athletes. The model wears orange, black, and white-themed makeup in reference to the iconic ‘Shattered Backboard’ colorway. Michael Jordan wore an orange and black uniform during the 1985 exhibition game in Italy, which led to the iconic color combination.
The brand also announced a new women’s exclusive sneaker that draws inspiration from Hermès ‘Birkin’ bags, utilizing the luxury brand’s signature orange on the overlays, Swoosh, laces and outsole. The upcoming drop is scheduled to happen in July, with a predicted $170 USD price tag.
