A Closer Look: Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 1 “Black”
As seen on foot at the BMX athlete’s ‘Nigel Sylvester: GO’ book launch.
For as long as we can remember, Nigel Sylvester, a competitive BMX rider, has been riding next to the Swoosh. And recently, the Jordan Brand athlete has taken to Instagram to share a never-before-seen hue of his Jordan 1 High OG collaboration.
The unreleased version of the Air Jordan 1 High has a black leather upper that is contrasted by white Swoosh branding on the sides and a sail-shaped mini-Swoosh on the toe box. A white tongue, white shoelaces, and red “Nike Air” branding on the tongue tag complete the appearance. A crimson outsole and a sail midsole complete the appearance.
Unfortunately, it is claimed that this pair was given to Sylvester as a gift by the Jordan Brand to mark the publication of his book. But there’s still a potential that retail sales will drop in the coming years so keep it locked for updates.
