Kanye may now be affiliated with the Three Stripes, but that hasn’t stopped Nike from revisiting the Air Yeezy 2 on a bevy of occasions — most recently with a “Pure Platinum” edition of the Foamposite Pro. Now the Swoosh is channeling that same make-up yet again — this time on the iconic Air Jordan 1. Utilizing a premium “Nouveau” edition of the silhouette, the upcoming drop sees a scaly “Pure Platinum” upper coupled with details like crimson lining, golden wings branding, rope laces, and a stark white sole unit. Mixing things up a bit, the shoe’s Swoosh branding comes in the form of a mesh cutout.

Expect the latest ‘Ye-inspired kicks to hit Jordan stockists in the weeks ahead.
