When Nike launched their Move to Zero campaign, it committed to working toward producing products with zero carbon and zero waste. To do this, Nike has pledged to eliminate single-use products, run facilities with renewable energy, and divert their waste from landfills to make playgrounds. The campaign kicked off in 2020, and the Jordan brand did not hesitate to participate.

The same year the Move to Zero campaign kicked off, the Jordan brand released its sustainable lineup of sneakers named the Crater collection. In November 2021, the Jordan brand introduced a sustainable model of the Low Jordan 1, the Jordan 1 Low Crater.

Sticking to what they know and mixing it with something new, the Jordan brand utilizes circular design principles in creating its Crater lineup. Before the Jordan 1 Low Crater dropped, the Jordan brand released the Air Jordan 1, the Jordan Crater, and Crater slides.

What Makes The Jordan 1 Low Crater Different?

The Crater lineup is constructed with a canvas body and uses recycled polyester or nylon. On top of that, the sneaker's paneling and overlays come in synthetic materials. The sneaker is thoughtfully crafted from start to finish and includes NikeFoam in its midsole.

Specific Design Details on the Jordan 1 Low Crater Sneakers

The sneaker dons a Light Smoke Grey/Black/Racer Blue/Multi-Color colorway. More specifically, the sneaker comprises a Dark Grey recycled mesh upper. Synthetic suede makes up the sneaker's overlays in Light Grey. As you look closely at the sneaker, you will notice the colorful threading and material used throughout its canvas. The sneaker also includes a multicolored Swoosh, midsole, and outsole constructed by post-consumer Grind rubber. Looking at the back of the sneaker, you will see the signature Wings logo on the sneaker's heel in black material. Inside the sneaker, a cream-colored lining pairs with a blue insole that features a white Jumpman on the heel. The blue insole matches with the blue zig-zagged threading that details across the Swoosh and around the sneaker. Looking down at the sneaker, you will also notice a black tongue padded with nylon and black laces.
