The Air Jordan 1 Low Black Toe Reclaims Its 1985 Originaton

After months of speculation and anticipation, the Air Jordan 1 Low Black Toe has been resurrected from the depths of the sneaker history books. Arriving as an almost-replica of its OG predecessor, the ‘Black Toe’ High Top, this iteration flawlessly carries the same adored attributes without the additional functionality of a high top build (for those who can’t dribble or slam dunk). The OG debuted as one of Michael Jordan’s first trainers from 1985, and have been authentically reimagined for casual wearers and sneakerheads alike. 

The Air Jordan 1 Low Black Toe is dressed in an identical palette to its originator, featuring a full leather build of black-and-red blocking. A crisp white base supports the timeless edge of the silhouette, sat on top of a matching rubber midsole that incorporates traditional Air technology for support and cushioning. The striking ‘Varsity Red’ hue adopts the back of the shoe, as well as tongue branding, lacing and the outsole, but it’s the ‘Black Toe’ that differentiates these iconic kicks from other Jumpman favourites. 

Guiding our attention towards the front of the silhouette, the lace panelling and toebox flaunt a smooth ‘Black’ exterior. This is replicated within the Swoosh, tongue, sockliner, and of course, heel logo. Branding on the heel takes form in Michael Jordan’s signature winged basketball emblem, completing the cherry on top to this nostalgic revival. 

As per most AJ1 iterations, the Air Jordan 1 Low is in unparalleled demand as of late due its versatile and lifestyle-driven construction, boasting the same personality as its High Top counterpart. The Air Jordan 1 Low Black Toe is truly a sneaker that both everyday wearers and sneaker junkies can get behind. Iterations such as the AJ1 Low OG ‘UNC to Chicago’ and ‘Quai 54’ are just two colourways that have entered the market this year, and we’re pretty sure that the Jumpman team have a few more tricks up their sleeves before the year’s out.
