An eventual success after a lukewarm initial reception — crazy what photos of MJ wearing the shoe will do for folks’ opinions — the Air Jordan 1.5, aka Air Jordan 1 High The Return, is set to launch in a second colorway.
Jordan Brand eased the general public into the Air Jordan 1-uppered, Air Jordan 2-soled design with classic style, simply utilizing the “Chicago” motif. At a glance, the shoe was scarcely different.
This time around, however, the Air Jordan 1.5 will eschew its basketball roots a bit, donning a buttery black leather upper, snakeskin-embossed Swoosh and gum outsole that afford it a more fashion-oriented bent. Streetball or streetwear, these’ll work.
The Air Jordan 1.5 Black Snake release date is officially set for September 19 at stateside stores. Retail is $150.
