Jovani Hernandez As old and new collectors become more eager for original colorways of the Air Jordan 1, they’re being met with heritage-inspired color palettes, but in modern arrangements. Case in point: The Retro High OG “Stage Haze,” which borrows the sneaker’s inaugural “Shadow” look.
Quickly dubbed as the 3.0-version of the aforementioned original colorway, the upcoming Jordans are expected to feature a “Black Toe” makeup accompanied by “Grey Fog” around the lower heel. A “colorless” look appears at the toe, mid-foot and ankle, which allows the greyscale aesthetic to revel in the spotlight. Yet, the pair’s most standout detail is arguably the “Bleached Coral” branding on the tongue label. Although retail versions of the shoes may look different than initial drawings, many spectators have denounced the “NIKE AIR” logo on the tongue, as it appears unnecessary. Given that the Jordan 1 is one of the moment’s “it” sneakers, however, it’s likely the pair will still sell out.
Enjoy a first mock-up of the retro here below, and anticipate the pair to hit Nike SNKRS on May 14th, 2022.
