The Air Jordan 1 Rare Air is one of a number of 30th anniversary celebrations for the model, a three-decades-old prototype that’s finally seeing mass production with simple “Air Jordan” block lettering on either collar, rather than the classic wings logo. Well, the shoe’s about to go from interesting sideshow to legit must-have.
Remixed branding or no, the Air Jordan 1 Rare Air Black/Bronze is an absolute must-have, boasting a black tumbled leather upper offset by bronze leather on the collar, Swoosh and “Air Jordan” block lettering. Whether you prefer blocking lettering or the wings logos, this is just a wildly attractive palette. We’ll take it in every version.
The Air Jordan 1 Rare Air Black/Bronze release date is unconfirmed, but likely for late-September or early-October. Stay tuned.
