Just when you thought Wotherspoon 97/1’s and Tinker 3’s were big enough of a problem for this weekend’s release, Nike decides to release the Air Jordan 1 Retro ‘Game Royal’ together, on the same day, same time. One of the reasons why there is hype behind this shoe is due to its high similarity in terms of colorway to the highly sought after Fragment 1’s. The shoe is built with a leather upper dressed in a Game Royal, Summit White and Black color scheme. The color blocking very closely resembles the Air Jordan 1 Retro ‘Chicago’ where the only difference is that the Red hits are replaced with Royal accents. Nike Air branding is observed to be present on the tongues, while the midsole and outsole come in a White and Game Royal combination.
“Following the blueprint set on the classic Chicago colorway of the Air Jordan 1, this makeup complements the Game Royal and white dominated upper with black details, including the tongue, sock liner, Swoosh and Wings logo.” – Jordan Brand
The Air Jordan 1 Retro ‘Game Royal’ will be available on Nike and at selected local basketball stores this Saturday, the 24th of March. If you are planning to purchase these, expect to spend RM629 and maybe more if you were planning to buy the Wotherspoon 97/1’s and Tinker 3’s.
