Jordan 1 Retro Gum Zwart

December is always a crowded month for sneaker releases and in 2014, Nike upped the ante with the early holiday release of the Jordan 1 Black/Gum OG. When it comes to sneakerheads, a gum bottom on a classic like the Air Force 1, Nike Dunk or Air Jordan 1 makes it timeless, and more importantly, a go-to choice when digging through the closet for a pair to wear. This version of the Jordan 1 didn’t fly off the shelves in the way some of the traditionally colored AJ1s might, but aside from a few small restocks, it was difficult to get ahold of a pair within a day or two of its original December 6th, 2014 release date. The Nike Air on the tongue and insole gives the Jordan 1– officially colored Black/Gum Light Brown/Black –its OG title, as compared to other Jordan 1s with the Jumpman on the tongue and insole. While the monochrome black upper is a mix of both smooth leather and a textured variation. As you can imagine, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Black/Gum remains a popular choice for “everyday wear” with many sneaker enthusiasts and even appeared in the “celebrity spotted” news on the feet of entertainers like DJ Envy.
