With Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse on the way, the iconic comic’s essence is reworked into the AJI OG “Chicago” iteration.

Wrapping up the offer, a specially designed package holds the footwear.

Release Date: November 14 & November 7

What can be witnessed as a commentary on the culture’s reselling community, Nike released two exclusive iterations of the “NOT FOR RESALE” sneakers. Pictured above, the silhouettes came available in yellow and red and were complemented by the inclusion of black and white accents. A heavy attention to text can be witnessed, as Jordan brand printed over a soft tumbled leather:”NOT FOR RESALE” on its midsole, in addition to “NO PHOTOS” embroidered on the heels, “WEAR ME” on the tongues, “PLEASE CREASE” on its toeboxes and ”NO L’S” on the insoles.
Union x Air Jordan 1 Retro “Storm Blue” & “Black Toe”
Release Date: November 11
Lowest Price: $555 & $675 USD
At first glance, the duo appears to be a Frankenstein-esque mashup; however, Chris Gibbs, for this collaborative effort, wanted to a take a design approach that would elicit an emotional response. Allusions to Michael Jordan’s rookie year — alongside incorporating aesthetics referencing the long history AJ1 iterations — appear throughout. A worn-in look has been fostered, as the sneakers feature: nubuck Swoosh, thicker leather, yellowed midsole, exposed foam and curled edges. Additional accents from the graphics printed on insole and tissue paper and the larger-than-normal “WINGS” logo pays tribute to the shoe’s legacy.
