Nike SB x Air Jordan 1 ‘Lakers’ Release Date
Written by SOURCE on February 20, 2019
Earlier this month, news surfaced of a new Nike SB x Air Jordan 1 Low project rumored to release later this year. Anyone who was slightly disappointed that the collaboration would utilize the low-top instead of the classic Air Jordan 1 High can breath a sigh of relief. A first look at an upcoming Nike SB x Air Jordan 1 High colorway has surfaced, courtesy of @sneakerjamz on Instagram.
This pair sports a Los Angeles Lakers color scheme with a white leather toe box and side panels, purple used on the toe, eyelets, and heel, and yellow coloring in the Swooshes and ankle collar. This pair was initially spotted on the feet of Nike SB team rider Theotis Beasley a few weeks ago. Based on the photo, it looks like the Lakers layer may wear away to a “Chicago”-esque color scheme underneath.
The multi-layered design has become common on SBs as of late. The detail was most notably used on 2014’s set of “Lance Mountain” colorways. The most recent collection of NBA x Nike SB sneakers also featured two-layered uppers.
Stay tuned as more details surface regarding the latest Nike SB x Air Jordan 1 project.
UPDATE (02/20): More detailed images of the Nike SB x Air Jordan 1 rumored to drop later this year have surfaced, courtesy of @solebyjc on Instagram. The pair features a Lakers-inspired color scheme that fades away to resemble the color blocking of the “Chicago” Air Jordan 1.
