Delving once again into their vault, Jordan Brand takes inspiration from its 2003 “Patent Pack”, which introduced patent leather and a mid-cut construction to the Jordan 1, for this Cyber Monday’s release of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Black & Gold”. Just like the 2003 release (later worn in Cassie’s iconic 2006 video for “Me & U”), its successor features a fully patent leather upper, with glossy black leather taking over the base and overlays, alongside accents of “metallic gold” at the Swoosh and collar. Additional hits of gold are found at the silhouettes branded elements, with a “Nike Air” tag stitched at the tongue and the “Wings” logo debossed at the ankle. Finishing touches comes in the form of gold stitching running around the blacked out midsole, as well as two sets of laces in black and gold.
The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Black & Gold” releases through an Instagram-based raffle that starts today, November 30th, that ends Saturday December 1st, at 2:00 PM MST. Check out Instagram (@fooshyeg) for more details.
