There is unlikely going to be a shortage of Air Jordan 1 releases any time soon, as leaked images have surfaced of a new colourway that’s going to come later this year. Nicknamed the ‘Denim’, its namesake material replaces the usual makeup of the iconic basketball shoe.
While the original AJ1 was made completely in leather, this edition replaces the main overlays with the namesake material. The particular type of denim is a slightly washed blue variety and covers the toe bumper, eye stays, ankle flap, Swoosh, and tongue. Adding to the obvious material swap is the contrasting white leather on the toe box, mid panel and ankle collar.
Beyond denim fabric, there are some other interesting details such as the reinforced embroidered eyelets, frayed edges, woven Nike Air branding, and golden oversized dubrae – presumably resembling a gaudy belt buckle.

Keep an eye out for more on the Air Jordan 1 ‘Denim’ to arrive later this year.
