The "Black/Orange" AJ1 look, the upcoming colorway once again pays homage to Michael Jordan 's iconic dunk during a 1985 overseas exhibition game that left the backboard in pieces.

Branding comes in the form of contrast midfoot Swooshes, Wing motifs at the ankle, " Nike Air" tongue tags and printed insoles. Rounding up the design of the shoe is a vintage-tinged off white midsole paired with a black rubber outsole.
