Air Jordan 1 Low Gs Iron Grey

Designed by Peter Moore and part of the Air Jordan 1 line. This release has a leather upper in Iron Grey/Summit White. Iron Grey is the 1 at its most utilitarian: a mid to dark grey with none of the heritage weight of red, black or royal blue attached. On a grade school Low, that reads as a shoe bought to be used rather than displayed. The silhouette itself came out of a specific business problem, Nike losing basketball to Converse and adidas in the early 1980s and signing a Chicago Bulls rookie on 26 October 1984 to buy a face of its own. Peter Moore drew the shoe with Bruce Kilgore. It reached the public on 1 April 1985 and sold out its first 50,000 pairs. Forty years on, the same outline works in a colour that asks for no attention at all.
