Sub-line convergence is upon us, and this Jordan 1 SB Low marks a significant homage in the history of the SB line as well as Jordan.
Before SBs even existed, skateboarders skated in Jordan 1s as they provided comfort and protection unlike other shoes, which then provided the blueprint for Eric Koston to improve the model. The Air Jordan 1 Low is the same, only added with extra SB level protection, but its the colourway that’s the real talking point of this model.
You see, Gino Iannucci, another one under Nike’s skateboarding roster had shown him an original pair with Zoom Air sockliner in the same white and navy colour blocking, and since then, has ingrained itself in Koston’s mind up to this day, which resulted in this homage.
The Koston Air Jordan 1 Low pays tribute to the beginnings of SB, featuring the same colour blocking and Zoom Air sockliner as the original, while a Jumpman logo is embroidered on the toebox to provide an extra level of detail, remembering 35 years of the Air Jordan 1.
The Nike SB Air Jordan 1 Low releases on Nike.com on the 19th of June, for an approximate price of RM 455.
