Nike and Jordan love to bring their classics back with new technology and added features. The Air Jordan 1 has been done in a million colorways and materials, but has never been given enough of a makeover to make it a completely different shoe. Until now.
The upper of the original is still used with new materials, like the perforated leather on the toe, tongue and mid-panel. Matte finish black covers the toe box and midfoot, while red is used for the remainder, including the heel and toe areas. These are expected to have a wide release mid-January, but you can grab a pair early at Extra Butter starting now. The OG AJ1 in this colorway was ranked number 2 in our “Best of Bred” list, and the addition of the full-length Zoom bag can only mean good things for this updated classic.
The Air Jordan 1 “Silver Anniversary” represents the entire span of Jordan Brand. 25 years later, the first signature silhouette is still a sought-after shoe. This specific shoe was designed to pay tribute to those 25 years, so this release has even more meaning to it.
Early birds were able to get the worm at an up-charge, but the official release of these means you can grab these at retail, including the very detailed suitcase packaging we took a look at awhile back. As you may recall, a mixture of grye nubuck and silver metallic leather is used for the uppers, with the new “23″ logo appearing on the tongue. You can grab these now at Sneakersnstuff.
Yesterday, we notified you of the men’s Nike Air Force 1 “Valentine’s Day” being available in a size 9.5 on eBay. Are these Nike WMNS Air Force 1 Premium “Valentine’s Day” better than the men’s pair for 2010?
This year, Nike smothered the women’s “Valentine’s Day” Air Force 1 with a 100% varsity red base. The colorway is about the only thing simple in regards to this particular Air Force 1.

Other details include a patent leather swoosh and metallic gold hints (Nike tongue logo tag, debray heel tab). To compliment this one-of-a-kind sneaker, Nike will package it in a red and gold box.

What’s not to love about waterproof kicks? This Air Force 1 is perfect for those who need something to keep their feet warm and dry but don’t need a pair of Tims or Foamdomes.
