Air Jordan 1 Low Ashen Slate

Ashen Slate is a cool, dusty blue grey, one of those colours that looks neutral until you put it next to a true grey and realise it is doing something else entirely. On the Jordan 1 Low it produces a shoe with no obvious reference point in the line's history, which is increasingly the reason people buy this cut. The pattern goes back to Peter Moore's 1985 design, the shoe that sold out its first fifty thousand pairs and pushed past 150 million dollars in sales, and the Low is the version that let it become an everyday object. Slate is that idea taken to its natural conclusion: familiar shape, unremarkable colour, worn constantly.
