Club Purple is making its mark on the 2012 Jordan Brand lineup in subtle ways, first helping to establish the surprise hit Son of Mars and later returning on the Air Jordan VII model whose red hits alongside have earned them a ‘Raptors’ nickname. This third drop comes right in the middle, a brand new Air Jordan 1 Phat that’s arguably a better fit for the Toronto-inspired taxonomy and one that’s quite a bit more gender neutral than its colorway would seem on paper. Details like Elephant print on the side panel Swooshes and the new multilayered mesh we’ve seen on several recent AJ1s connect these to the Air Jordan Legacy, and you’ll find them available now at select JB retailers like New York’s Extra Butter.
