Air Jordan 1 Low Black

Designed by Peter Moore and released on 12 December 2023 as part of the Air Jordan 1 line. This release has a leather upper in White/Black. Cut the Air Jordan 1 down to a low and you strip it of the thing it was originally sold on, the ankle collar of a basketball shoe, and you find out how much of the design was in the outline. Quite a lot, it turns out. Peter Moore's 1985 shape survives the cut: the same panel breaks, the same wing logo placement, the same relationship between swoosh and quarter. In black, the low becomes the least ceremonial Jordan you can buy, a shoe that reads as footwear rather than as an artefact. That is a useful position for a model whose original pairs now trade around 20,000 dollars, because it means at least one version of the 1 is still just a shoe you put on.
