Nike and Jordan Brand have had quite an affinity for the high-collar/inner-bootie set-up of late. Don’t dig the trend? You are not going to be pleased with the latest offering from JB.
But if you are fond of the performance-inspired aesthetic, the new shoe is right up your alley. The remix — call it the Air Jordan 1 High Bootie, or Air Jordan 1 High Utility — features the classic AJ1 upper, ostensibly manifesting in a woven construction. The look is distinctive, but that’s hardly even the biggest departure for the iconic silhouette. Instead, that honor belongs to the hightop inner-bootie that resides inside the shoe, delivering a contemporary touch to the timeless classic.
Below, check out two photos of the Air Jordan 1 High Bootie — or, again, Air Jordan 1 High Utility — and keep it locked to NB for a release date.
