First Look at Nigel Sylvester's Next Air Jordan 1
As part of the BMX athlete’s ‘Nigel Sylvester: GO’ book launch.
From his incredible bicycling skills as a BMX athlete to his trendsetting looks to his explorative storytelling, everything Nigel Sylvester does is packed with energy. Recently, Sylvester shared this with the launch of his new book Nigel Sylvester: GO. To celebrate, a special event at HBX was hosted where Sylvester offered a look at a new collaborative Air Jordan 1. Already, it has been over four years since the release of the original Air Jordan 1 “Nigel Sylvester” and Jordan Brand seems to still have the style on its mind.
First spotted on Sylvester, this black colorway of his take on the Air Jordan 1 revisits several key elements from its predecessor. The black leather upper with white Swooshes features scuffs in an arrangement similar to the first colorway while a mini Swoosh returns on the lateral portion of the mudguard. Lastly, the sole unit seems to be reused as an aged, yellowed midsole combines with a red outsole to round out the detailing.
Unfortunately, the pair is said to be a gift from Jordan Brand in celebration of Sylvester’s book launch. However, there’s still a chance it may hit shelves in the coming years. Take a close look at them above and peep the on-foot shots below.
