The new Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse movie will be hitting theaters in just under a month and to celebrate, the franchise joins Nike to deliver a Next Chapter colorway palette. The duo delivers an Air Jordan 1 silhouette that is set to launch online at Nike on May 20th.
When the first movie dropped, Nike also delivered its own Origin Story palette of the Air Jordan 1 and now it plays with the same hues. The iconic animation style that is detailed with a subtle dot pattern can be seen once again and decorated along the panels of the shoe. This offers a subtle contrast and references the theme of the movie. The outsole appears to be red but once it hits UV lighting, it turns into a bright gold.
