Rui Hachimura's Next Air Jordan 1 is a Work of Art

In today’s sneaker landscape, few Jordan athletes can rival the distinctive colourways and Player Exclusive (PE) designs crafted for Rui Hachimura. His Japanese heritage often takes centre stage, infusing traditional motifs into some of Jordan Brand’s most prominent performance silhouettes.

It seems like Rui’s most notable collaboration yet is set to debut: the Rui Hachimura Air Jordan 1 Low “Cranes.”

This release begins with an oatmeal base; a foundation of neutral fabric and suede that lends an understated elegance to the upper. However, as your eyes travel upward, the design quickly becomes more intricate and captivating. Painted floral patterns adorn the overlays, while a gum sole provides a clean, classic look beneath.

A black suede Swoosh outlined in metallic gold delivers a striking contrast, while the aqua green Jordan Wings logo on the heel adds a vibrant touch of colour. The sail midsole, accented with gold stitching, combines well with the gum outsole to elevate the design's sophistication. Rui’s custom Japanese inspired logo on the insole adds a personal and culturally meaningful detail.

The story behind the “Cranes” runs deep. The design was originally spearheaded by former Jordan Brand designer Kelsey Amy, who also crafted the PE “Cranes” colourway in 2022. Less than a year later, she designed the “Oatmeal” rendition seen here, believing it would never reach production.

Fast forward to 2025, and this standout colourway is finally making its way to retail. While an official release date hasn’t been confirmed, early reports suggest the Rui Hachimura Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Cranes” will hit shelves in Spring 2025.
