Call it an “unfinished” masterpiece. This crafted take on the AJ1 Low is all about exposed and frayed edges, bringing a deconstructed aesthetic to your favourite kicks. Durable textile throughout and an embossed perf pattern on the toe elevate the look, while a utilitarian black and Smoke Grey colourway sets the tone for any outfit. The finishing touch? Ultra-comfortable Air cushioning, keeping you happy on your feet for the journey ahead.
Compared to the four different “Inside Out” colorways unveiled earlier this year, the Air Jordan 1 Low OG EX isn’t a comprehensive flip. Instead, much of the construction keeps its typical dimension: the overlays remain one layer above, the toe box and mid-panel sit just a bit lower, and the Swoosh is as 3D as the most standard of GRs. Only the materials and details themselves proffer that deconstructed feel, as yellow foam is exposed along the edge of every unfinished piece.
