1. About Nike Air Jordan 1 KO “Storm Blue”
This Air Jordan 1 KO a.k.a. AJKO, was created in 1986 as a lower-priced version of the Air Jordan 1, using canvas material and a non-air sole to lower the price.
It is said that the reason why the model was released was for the boys who could not afford the AJ1, which was made of leather and was too expensive for sneakers at that time.
Therefore, at the time, this model was sold at the unthinkably low price of $26.
At the time, it was sold in stores as the Jordan 1 Canvas, instead of Jordan 1 KO, because of a Jordan 1 that used canvas instead of leather.
It is said that the naming “KO” represents the hope that such boys will “Knock Out” Michael Jordan in the future.
In May of 2021, the KO in Chicago color, which is a faithful reproduction of the original, was reissued for the first time in seven years, and the pair has attracted a lot of attention from fans.
The Storm Blue is reminiscent of the Royal, one of the AJ1’s most popular color schemes after the Chicago.
This iconic design with its contrasting white base, bright blue overlay, black laces, and swoosh will be recognized by all sneakerheads at a glance.
The KO has a history of being a downgraded version of the AJ1, but it has been priced at a premium since its launch.
This model is also expected to be a popular model that will inevitably sell out.
