Air Jordan 1 Low Golf Royal Toe

Royal Toe applies the Low's three zone colour blocking in royal blue, black and white and then builds the shoe for turf. Royal blue is one of the oldest accent colours in the line, dating to the first year of Air Jordan 1 colourways, when Nike was still establishing a rookie's identity after signing him on 26 October 1984 with a royalty attached to a six year, 2.5 million dollar deal. Taking that arrangement onto a golf course is a deliberate collision: a palette from the shoe's first season, on an outsole made for grass. It is the clearest example of Jordan Brand using its archive to enter a category it has no history in.
