JORDAN 1 HIGH OG GORGE GREEN

The experimental retro delivers a much more risk-taking color arrangement than has traditionally appeared on the Jordan’s 1u00a0u00a0tallest trim: A full-suede upper divvies up soft purple and blue tones throughout Peter Mooreu2019s iconic design. Standard branding, tongues, and collar panels deviate from the pastel-adjacent tones in favor of stark u201cBlacku201d contrast; the miniature swoosh on the lateral forefoot forgoes any of the aforementioned hues, instead of indulging in a teal-like color. As its namesake suggests, the Jordan 1 Switch features a robust zipper (done in yellow on this pair) right underneath the seventh eyelet. In seconds, then, the pair becomes a low-top sneaker, boasting a tongue at the appropriate height and an added pull tab at the heel. Sole units round out either trim in a u201cSailu201d makeup that allows the upper to revel in the spotlight that much more.

Essentially a variation of the Black Toe 1s with a red toe instead of white and a black tongue, or a Shattered Backboard 1 with red replacing the orange, early images of this shoe have shown us that the leather on used on this Jordan 1 looks to be top notch quality similar to the one used on the Shattered Backboards. Gym Red, Black, and Summit White come together on the premium leather upper along with a white midsole and a Gym Red outsole.

There are actually two pairs of the TEDxPortland Air Jordan 1s created for the latest PDX. The two sneakers hone in on the u201cPerfectu201d theme of the event by selecting a silhouette that many consider being as close to perfection as possible in terms of both its bold design and its cultural relevance. Hence the Air Jordan 1 u201cPerfectu201d, which is limited to just 230 pairs and will be part of the PERFECT TEDxPortland
