Air Jordan 1 Ko Syracuse

KO is the alternate build designation in this line, a variation on the standard Jordan 1 make rather than a different silhouette, and it exists because the pattern Peter Moore drew with Bruce Kilgore is strong enough to survive being rebuilt in another register. Syracuse here is a colour reference: a hot orange associated with a college palette. It is worth being precise about that, since the college basketball programmes Jordan Brand actually outfits are North Carolina, Jordan's own university, plus Georgetown, Cincinnati and Michigan. This is a colourway borrowing a campus association, not a team shoe, and that distinction is the difference between reading the brand accurately and repeating a rumour.
