Introduced in concert with 2022’s NBA All-Star Weekend, the Air Jordan 1 Elevate has proffered an expansive range of colorways infused with fashion-forward aesthetics for the Beaverton brand’s women’s-exclusive audience. Recently, the exaggerated ensemble embarked upon a contemporary outlook of the Air Jordan 1’s OG “Royal” color blocking.

Flipping the tones of its upcoming Air Jordan 1 “Royal Reimagined” counterpart, the tumbled leather upper executes a pitch-dark base layer while the surrounding overlays and profile swooshes are dipped in the striking blue hue. Elegance is infused within the leather tongue and stripped-back logos as cork insoles add a hidden element to the mix. The overtly thick midsole provides a heaping swatch of white to the iconic color blocking above, contrasting the two-toned upper ostensibly.

The Air Jordan 1 Elevate “Hyper Royal” is expected to release in the coming weeks for a retail price of $135. In the meantime, the pair can be seen in official imagery below.

In other news from the Beaverton brand, the Air Max CB ’94 is preparing a fall-friendly “Mocha” scheme.
