Nike Gets Romantic With the Air Jordan 1 ‘Love Letter’

[analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https://www.highsnobiety.com/static-assets/dato/1785313390-air-jordan-1-high-og-love-letter-dz5485-201-release-date.jpg”]

Few sportswear franchises can match the legacy of the Air Jordan line. But with Jordan Brand pushing out new releases almost weekly, true heritage can sometimes get overshadowed.

The Air Jordan 1 “Love Letter” is a reminder of where it all began, celebrating the silhouette that changed sneaker culture and the game that made it possible.

When Michael Jordan retired for the final time, he signed off with “Much love and respect”, that motif returns to the world of the Air Jordan with this nod to their shared heritage and respect for the impact of two titans of the basketball world.

An icon of both streetwear and basketball, the AJ1 has spanned thirty years of culture. Expanding beyond the seminal nineties moments, it has re-introduced countless generations to the iconic baller.

Steeped in respect, this sneaker ties the story of arguably the best player on the court to a material. With a premium suede upper and leather details, Nike designed this sneaker with ageing in mind. After all, love only intensifies with time.

With nods to determination and many quiet nights of training. This Air Jordan is covered in subtle details, from the embossed quote on the upper to the suede black toe box. There is no need to overstate the impact, this is a testament to a career that speaks for itself.
