In addition to the new "Olympics" Air Jordan 1 and the returning "Banned" Air Jordan 1, Jordan Brand is rolling out two pairs of the "Premium Essentials" Air Jordan 1s this weekend.
The yin yang themed kicks feature alternating colorways of white and black with matching red "Nike Air" tabs on the tongues. Of all the Air Jordan 1s releasing later this year, this "Premium Essentials" collection might be the cleanest of them all- especially that white pair.
As we've said time and again, keeping it simple is often what works best and that goes double for the iconic Air Jordan 1 silhouette.
A release date has officially been pegged for this Saturday, August 6th, the kicks will retail for $160.
Select Foot Locker locations will be implementing a raffle system for the kicks so check out their launch locator to find out how your local stores will be handling the release.
