Air Jordan 1 Nouveau Perforates the Leather

The Air Jordan 1 Nouveau, a refined and streamlined take on the iconic hoops model, has had a big showing the last year or so, spawning a number of compelling new colorways that put a focus on unique materials. Well, add one more to the list.

The new edition — call it the, I don’t know, Air Jordan 1 Nouveau Perf — sports a slick black leather upper complete with the Nouveau’s usual embossed branding and seamless toe. For a more fashion-forward touch, large perforations appear in the toebox and side-panel, updating aesthetics and adding a bit of breathability.

At the moment the Air Jordan 1 Nouveau Perf is merely in the sample stage, but a release later this year looks likely. Stay tuned.
