Up Close With The COMME des GARÇONS x Air Jordan 1

When it comes to Jumpman collabs, the COMME des GARÇONS x Air Jordan 1 takes the cake as one of the weirdest ones yet. First unveiled back on the runways of Paris Fashion Week, this has got to be one of the most talked-about AJ1s since the Off-White collab back in 2017, and it's easy to see why!

Unlike Jordan Brand collaborations of the past that really only switch up the colourway and add a few logos here and there, Rei Kawakubo's take on the '80s classic reworks everything to a T. Showcased in all-black and all-white flavours, both models are crafted from all-leather constructions, and take design cues from the traditional motorcycle boot, with a few punk rock details also introduced, including an exaggerated ankle strap and silver studs.

A Jumpman comes embossed on the heel, while co-branded detailing hits the insole and tongue, which has been extended for a look that's sure to turn heads.

Perfect for both the runway and the court, the COMME des GARÇONS x Air Jordan 1 is set to drop very soon, so be sure to keep it locked at The Sole Supplier for more release info as it develops! Let us know if you'll be copping a pair for your collection, and while you're here, be sure to take a look at the full Nike sneaker range!
