The sneaker scene is certainly no stranger when it comes to the Japanese embroidery technique of sashiko. From the Dunk Low to the Blazer Mid, some of the Nike‘s most iconic silhouettes have all received the traditional treatment, and now, it’s the AJ1’s turn as we take our first look at the upcoming Air Jordan 1 Low “Sashiko.”
Bringing together together a delightful mix of “White,” “Rush Fuchsia,” “Blue Tint,” “Guava Ice,” and “Aurora Green,” not only are these colours captivating to the eye, they also give a respectful nod to the vibrant hues often seen in Japanese art. The sneaker’s upper, crafted entirely from luxurious leather, is a signature element of the Air Jordan lineage, ensuring durability, comfort, and unrivalled aesthetics. This blend of high-quality materials and craftsmanship underlines the sneaker’s dedication to both style and substance.
Every detail on this trainer has been carefully considered. From the perforated toebox, which offers an element of breathability, to the iconic wings branding on the heels all the way to the tastefully-stitched Jumpman logo on the tongues, everything contributes to the shoe’s head-turning design.
With all that said, the standout feature has got to be the sashiko motif that gracefully adorns the ankle and Swoosh sections of the sneaker. This distinctive pattern adds a handcrafted feel, creating a heartfelt tribute to the ancient technique. Set to release on December 2nd, make sure you keep it locked at Captain Creps for your best chance to cop the Air Jordan 1 Low “Sashiko”!
