Air Max 270, After signing to Nike all those years ago, Michael Jordan hit the hardwood not in the Air Jordan 1 but the Air Ship. And even despite being the true “Banned” shoe, it would never see the same treatment as His Airness’ first official signature. But that mythical Black/Red make-up did eventually make a return in 2020; and even before that, the silhouette made a comeback courtesy of the “New Beginnings” pack, which included a complementary Air Jordan 1 ’85. Right before the pandemic descended down on the US back in 2020, Jordan Brand debuted a special moment for NBA All-Star Weekend that year — the reintroduction of the classic Nike (NYSE:NKE -0.18%) Air Ship. As part of the “New Beginnings” Pack that also featured an Air Jordan 1 Hi’ 85, the silhouette was released in a crisp white and red colorway, and this year it’s slated to expand its catalog with a brand new “Team Orange” makeup.
Much like the aforementioned installment, this Nike Shoes also get styled with a two-toned presentation. Smooth leather uppers lean on an angelic hue to coat over the perforated toe boxes, tongues, laces, side panels and midsoles. Neighboring this are accents of “Team Orange” that get sprinkled to the collars, Swooshes, tongue branding and the full outsoles. The shoes come packaged in the standard black and red Nike-branded box, and the kicks come wrapped in tissue that features black and white newspaper-inspired graphics centered around the Air Ship.Here, the warm tone takes the place of Bulls Red, highlighting the Swoosh, collar, and the adjacent branding. The rest of the construction is rendered entirely in white neutrals, effectively mirroring the OG color blocking.
The Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low Reverse Mocha will feature a similar design as the first two releases. An oversized backward facing Swoosh featured on the lateral, while a regular Swoosh graces the medial. Signature Travis Scott details will include the “Cactus Jack” logo appearing on the tongue, medial side panel and sockliner. The back heel tabs will be branded with Air Jordan Wings on the right and Scott’s crudely drawn face on the left shoe.Finishing up the design of the shoe are matching sockliners, off white laces, matching midsoles and contrasting brown rubber outsoles.
