by Akeem Ivory | Jun 30, 2021 | Sneaker Releases, Sneakers

The Air Jordan 1 “Bordeaux” arrive in much the same styling as the “Midnight Navy” Air Jordan 1 CO.JP release, however, it forgoes the stitched tongue branding in favor of a traditional tag. Its overlays also opt for leather — not nubuck as seen on the blue pair.

Air Jordan 1 High OG “Bordeaux” Color: Bordeaux/White-Metallic Silver Style Code: 555088-611 Release Date: November 20, 2021 Price: $170

Dressed in White leather upper with Bordeaux overlays and Silver Swoosh and Wings logos, similar to the A White midsole atop a Bordeaux rubber outsole that completes the design. While the colorway has been used before on other silhouettes, the Air Jordan 1 High hasn’t become accustomed to the shade of burgundy like other sneakers. This bright red, almost purple-like shade alludes to luxury just like a nice glass of Bourdeaux wine.

Officially slated to release on November 20th at select retailers and Nike.com set at $170 USD. Checkout image of the Air Jordan 1 High OG “Bordeaux” below:

by Akeem Ivory | Jun 30, 2021 | Sneakers

In the past few years, Jordan has made concerted efforts to expand its women’s line and the new women’s exclusive colorway of Michael Jordan’s fourth signature shoe that will be released during Fall 2021. The Air Jordan 4 “Shimmer” similar to past exclusives, the “Shimmer” doesn’t overtly rely on feminine tropes. Instead, it rivals that of any men’s offerings through a palette heavily autumnal in aesthetic.

Air Jordan 4 WMNS “Shimmer” Color: Shimmer/Bronze Eclipse-Orange Quartz-Metallic Silver Style Code: DJ0675-200 Release Date: September 3, 2021 Price: $190

This model is highlighted by buttery soft nubuck overlays and burnished leather meant to age and sheen naturally with time in a Shimmer, Bronze Eclipse, Orange Quartz, and Metallic Silver color scheme. This Air Jordan 4 takes inspiration from varying neutral shades of makeup. Across the leather construction, a tan shade runs replete, matching the cages and straps just adjacent.

Below, the midsole lightly contrasts in white next to matted trim, Jumpman logos dress in what seems to be silver metallic, and the eyelets lean towards luxury in Bronze Eclipse. The shoe also features transparent TPU wings and lace locks and is topped off by metallic, electroplated Jumpman branding on the tongue, reminiscent of the mirrors used in makeup palettes.

Look for the Air Jordan 4 WMNS “Shimmer” to release on September 3rd at select retailers and Nike.com set at $190 USD.
