Spice up Your Shoe Closet With Jordan 1 Mocha Sneakers

From streetwear to basketball sneakers and beyond, Air Jordan is a brand that has been innovating fashionable, athletic footwear for almost 40 years. There are hundreds of Jordan sneaker styles to explore and collect, including retro Colorways and new designs. The Jordan 1 Mocha brings new and old together with its retro features and an original Colorway.

Evolution of Air Jordan as a Brand

Air Jordan’s beginnings were with Nike in the 1980s. The athletic shoe company joined Michael Jordan in this creative endeavor to create a shoe that represented both his playing style and his personal tastes. Jordan sneakers have roots in rebellion and innovation with the first pair even being banned by the NBA for going against their strict dress code. In 1997, Jordan separated from Nike to operate independently, proving to the world that, even with Michael Jordan’s retirement from basketball, Jordan sneakers are an American institution that are here to stay.

Jordan 1 Sneakers

Peter Moore designed the Jordan 1, and the sneaker was released in 1985. The sneakers had an array of features that highlighted the different parts of Jordan’s gameplay on the court. A mid-top construction with an ankle collar provided support, and a perforated toebox gave the shoe the necessary ventilation. The Jordan 1 is the only Jordan sneaker in the lineup to feature a Swoosh, Nike’s official logo. Along with the Swoosh, the Jordan 1 introduced the Jordan Wings logo, which can be seen on the collar of mid-top designs. Since the Jordan 1 was introduced before the Jumpman logo was introduced, retro silhouettes may not feature the branding. Newer models, however, may have the Jumpman appear on the tongue. There are many Jordan 1 sneakers with both options that are available on eBay.

The Jordan 1 Mocha

The retro Mocha 1 Jordan stays true to the original Jordan 1 design all the way down to the details and branding. The sneakers keep the mid-top design and ankle collars. They also have a perforated toe, durable leather upper, and Nike Air branding on the tongue. The Swoosh and Wings are both in the expected recognizable positions. The update comes in the brown and black colorway and the introduction of suede on the rear overlays. The Jordan 1 Mocha sneakers were released on October 31, 2020, and they are available in unisex and grade school sizes and can be found on eBay.

The Jordan 1 Mocha sneakers have a white upper with black overlays around the toe. The sneakers feature brown suede overlays on the heel and collar where the black Wings logo is placed. Some stitching can be seen on the mid-panel, separating different sections on the sneaker and a white underlay covers the collar. The Swoosh logo is black, matching the laces and fabric label on the tongue. The Nike branding on the tongue is white to match the tongue and upper. The Jordan 1 Mocha sneakers have a white midsole and black outsole.
