Jordan Brand is never short on releases for the long-coveted Air Jordan 1 silhouette. This time around, the label will drop a brand new ‘Defiant’ variant in homage to the alternative rock community. With a stitched up Swoosh insignia on the lateral side and a golden yellow check in the medial portion, the unique high-top is experimental yet subtle when it comes to its overall makeup. Rounding up the execution are black overlays set against white paneling throughout the design.

The Air Jordan 1 ‘Defiant’ will launch on Nike SNKRS app this July 27 at 10 am ET.

In case you missed it, Nike announced official release details for its anticipated Parra collaboration.
