]]> Is your summer sneaker rotation feeling stale? Don’t worry, Jordan Brand has been cooking up a brand-new Air Jordan 1 colorway to freshen things up, and it’s slated to land later this month. Meet the new “Black and Gold” Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG.

This forthcoming "Black and Gold" colorway brings a sophisticated twist to the iconic ‘80s basketball silhouette. The combination of sleek black leather and “Metallic Gold” accents creates a bold contrast, making these sneakers a must-have this season. The golden hue, reminiscent of Michael Jordan's six championship rings, adds opulence and legacy to the design.

One of the most striking features of this release is the golden outsole, which shines beneath the black upper. The “Metallic Gold” accents aren't just limited to the outsole, though – they also appear on the iconic Swoosh overlays, ankle collars, and Wings logos.

Whether you're a seasoned collector or new to the sneaker game, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG "Black and Gold" is a release not to be missed. With its luxurious design, special packaging, and nods to Michael Jordan's championship legacy, this sneaker is set to be a modern classic.

Need a pair? The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Black and Gold” is set to drop on Saturday, August 10th in full-family sizing, available in-store and online at DTLR.com.

]]> Sneakers are not just about the style – it's about the statement. With each release, brands like Jordan redefine what it means to be fashion-forward, merging heritage with innovation. And the upcoming Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG "Metallic Gold" is no exception.

Scheduled to release later this month, this iteration of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG is tailored specifically for women. It has a white leather upper, offering a canvas that's both versatile and refined. But it's the "Metallic Gold" accents that truly elevate this sneaker to the next level. Adorning the Swoosh overlays and ankle collar panels, the shimmering gold adds a touch of opulence, reminiscent of royalty striding confidently on the court. The same hue is used for the Nike Air tabs on the tongues and Wings logo stamps on the lateral ankle collar flaps.

This colorway boasts a white rubber midsole unit that provides cushioning and support with every step. Complemented by "Gum" rubber outsoles, the sneaker offers durability and traction.

The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Metallic Gold” will be available on Wednesday, February 14th, in-store and online at DTLR.com in women’s, pre-school, and toddler sizes.

It seems like the sneaker community has a love/hate relationship when it comes to mid-tops. Consumers tend to be extremists, usually choosing either the high-tops or the low-tops. This overall buying trend can be seen in comparison to the limited amount of sneakers in the market that fit in between. Nevertheless, mid-tops is that happy medium that has brought value to the game. Consistently, Brand Jordan has been dropping mid-tops long as I can remember. Quietly putting out alternate colorways that have recently peaked the interests of men (and popular with women). Despite the massive appeal of the AJ1 Hi, the Mid is here in full effect to give you a new and improved makeover.

Special Edition (SE) Jordans set themselves apart due to its luxe fabrics and unique designs. To represent right, the textile tongue has the high flying Jumpman with ‘Air’ directly underneath. Near the ankle is the original MJ logo with the soaring wings. Contrast is found in the bold Black “Swoosh” check placed in the mudguard area. Mixed leather blends are the fabric foundation that keeps everything together. Perforation vents in the toe box allow adequate breathing room while with each pivotal step. Trophies were summoned to construct the Metallic Gold overlays vividly seen on the collar, heel stabilizer, throat, and toe tip. Historically, the ‘Air-Sole’ unit continues to supply lightweight cushioning. To properly absorb impact, the durable rubber outsoles provide reliable traction. If you have the heart and style of an olympian, this is your moment to go for the gold.

The Air Jordan 1 Mid “Metallic Gold” release on November 30, 2020, and retail for $125 USD both in stores and online at DTLR.com
