Air Jordan Jordan 1 Low Black White Dark Smoke Grey

Designed by Peter Moore and part of the Air Jordan 1 line. This release has a leather upper in Black/Black/White/Dark Smoke Grey. Black, white and dark smoke grey is the 1 reduced to values rather than colours: three steps on a greyscale, nothing borrowed from a kit, nothing to decode. The shoe underneath is the Low, the cut that removed the ankle from the 1985 original and quietly turned a basketball design into general footwear. That original came from Nike losing basketball to Converse and adidas and signing a Chicago Bulls rookie on 26 October 1984 for six years and 2.5 million dollars, with a royalty attached, hoping for 3 million dollars in sales over three years. It sold out 50,000 pairs and passed 150 million. This greyscale version is the same architecture with all the argument removed.
