Jordan Brand works in collaboration with South African sneaker retailer Shelflife on a new design update of the signature Air Jordan 1 Low sneaker model. The shoe has a Sail color palette that makes up most of the shoe and it can be seen covering the traditional scaly collar and shaggy suede by the toe box and quarter sections.
The toe tip overlaying detail is applied by soft suede materials for more textural looks. Additional details include the ribbed heel counter that is done in a slightly tanned look with orange adding a pop of color. This can be seen making up the tongue logos and the outsole foundation before being rounded out by the Jumpman hangtags.
