Timeless, classic, unparalleled. The Air Jordan I debuted in 1985 and changed the way we view athletic shoes. No longer functional footwear, sneakers became art and the Jordan I was the beginning of a long legacy. Rejected then retroed and re-retroed, but never forgotten, the Air Jordan Retro I is sure to be a favorite. Today i will introduce one new member of the great Jordan 1.

This time, it’s the two newest iterations of the iconic AJ1: the Air Jordan 1 Strap and the Air Jordan 1 Premier.  Each type sees two new styles.  The AJ1 Strap pairs are both done in canvas, with the Swoosh featuring ragged edges.  One rocks a Denver Nuggets-like colourway of black, university blue, white and yellow, while the other keeps the white and favors navy blue and varsity red for an All-American feel.But all of those colorways i only like this pair.

Meanwhile, the Premium-equivalent Premier pairs live up to their name with lush treatments.  One pair is a shiny affair in white and metallic platinum, featuring woven side panels and toes.  This theme is also repeated on a velcro-equipped Low.  The other High features a lushmarbled suede upper quite similar to a beautiful pack of Supras that dropped this week,along with a tonal canvas Swoosh and navy blue accents.  All four pairs of these are quite impressive, so the only reason not to get any of them might be that you can’t afford them all.
