Background on the Air Jordan Brand

jordan 1 low light smoke grey shoesBefore the Jordan brand took shape, the sneakers were a part of Nike. Michael Jordan and Nike made a five-year endorsement deal and created the first-ever Jordan sneakers. The sneakers started a revolution for basketball sneakers, rebelling against the all-white sneaker standards of the time. With change comes trouble, and the Jordan sneakers were banned from the court by the NBA for going against their uniform policy. With Nike's blessing, Jordan wore them anyway, setting a precedent for sneakers that innovate both on and off the court. In 1997, the Jordan brand parted ways with Nike and began to operate independently.

Evolution of the Jordan 1 Sneaker

Peter Moore designed the first Jordan 1 in 1985, highlighting Michael Jordan’s playing style and fashion choices. The sneakers had a high-top design with leather materials for durability and a perforated toe for ventilation. The only sneaker with the Swoosh logo in its design, the Jordan 1, also highlighted its roots with Nike. It also had the Jordan Wings logo to represent the Jordan brand. Over time, the design of the Jordan 1 would remain the same on retro and OG silhouettes while introducing new colorways, but innovation is the lifeline of Jordan sneakers, and some new takes on the style would pop up, such as the Jordan 1 Low Smoke Grey.

The Smoke Grey Jordan 1 keeps some of the features the Jordan 1 is known for and makes some big changes. Instead of the high-top design seen on the original Jordan 1, the Low Light Smoke Grey sneakers have a low-top design with the shoe resting just below the ankle. The sneakers keep the leather material for the upper and the Swoosh on the side. The Jordan Wings logo is still in the design, but a Jumpman also appears. This emblem was unseen on the original silhouette since the original Jordan 1 predates the design.

The Air Jordan 1 Low Light Smoke Grey has a white upper with gray overlays. Black covers the tongue, laces, and the Swoosh on the side. The toe is also white and perforated. On the tongue, the Jumpman logo is red, adding a pop of bright color to the design. The Jordan Wings logo on the heel is also red. A white midsole brings the colorway together, and the shoe finishes with a black outsole. The Jordan 1 Low Light Smoke Grey was released on Sept. 2020. This shoe, available on eBay, comes in men's, unisex, and grade school sizes.
