Concepts Air Max 1 – Far Out

January 10, 2023 | Category: Ward 1 Sneakers


 

Concepts x Nike Air Max 1 SP – Far Out

 

Completing our celebration of the Air Max 1, we take our third iteration of the classic sneaker to its furthest reaches. From Harlem to Haight-Ashbury, the counterculture of the ‘60s sent a lasting message to the world.

The music, the style, the vibe: It was all “Far Out.” The Northern California Folk Festival pulled it all together by highlighting the era’s most dynamic performers. On stage, the performers mix of bandanas, denim, leather, fringes and more amplified the preferred fashions of the crowd, and in doing so set a trend that defined the 60s. With the Concepts x Nike Air Max 1 SP “Far Out,” the legacy of those looks matches up to the vibrant swirl of psychedelic concert posters.

Like the prior Concepts x Nike Air Max 1, the “Far Out” also includes patterned elements of bandanna, cowhide, and woven material panels. The former, a Concepts-exclusive, approximates the famous guitar straps employed by festival performers. Further details include a lateral striped Swoosh and a medial “flower power” Swoosh. The tongue label revives a classic ‘70s Nike logo and twists it with a Concepts “hippie” word mark.

The shoe also features a custom footbed. As a bonus, the packaging the “Far Out” gets a fully custom psychedelic print (produced in a secondary pink exclusive to in-store raffle winners), complete with a poncho, double album-styled mini record coasters, bandana and sticker pack.

Air Jordan 13 x SoleFly • Celestine Blue

SoleFly is back again, celebrating the beauty of Florida and the joys of yacht life with a fresh AJ13. The original pair propelled MJ to his 6th championship win—but this edition is all about off-court (and on-deck) ease. Big details like the holographic cat’s eye, woven tongue and toe box, and Celestine Blue dimpled upper are grounded in neutral hues for a shoe that’s just as at home on the boat as it is on the streets of South Miami. And with a plush padded collar and two Nike Air units underfoot, you’ll get your sea legs in no time.

 

 

 

 



Air Max 1 • Ugly Duckling Pack

December 19, 2022 | Category: Ward 1 Sneakers


 

Air Max 1 • Pecan Ochre & Honey Dew

Meet the leader of the pack. Inspired by French architecture, celebrated in sport and revered by fashion, this was the first shoe in the family to reveal Air to the world. Smooth leather contrasts with airy mesh to update this long-standing icon with visual texture. With a fast-paced look, tried-and-true cushioning and classic wavy mudguard, it’s no wonder these kicks have reigned supreme since 1987.

Momma duck said, “quack, quack, quack”—and a new ugly duckling came running back. Inspired by the coveted Dunk collection, the leader of the pack returns with its own eccentric flair. From colors to materials (wait ’til you feel the pigskin nubuck), the Air Max 1 brings all the rebellious details from the original pack and then some. And that embroidered duck on the heel? It calls, “that’s right, keep on staring.”

Air Max 1 • Ironstone

Meet the leader of the pack. Inspired by French architecture, celebrated in sport and revered by fashion, this was the first shoe in the family to reveal Air to the world. Smooth leather contrasts with airy mesh to update this long-standing icon with visual texture. With a fast-paced look, tried-and-true cushioning and classic wavy mudguard, it’s no wonder these kicks have reigned supreme since 1987.

Following the release of a similarly-toned Air Max 95 iteration earlier this year, Nike now readies its classic Air Max 1 runners in “Ironstone.” The upcoming pairs continue to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the iconic Tinker Hatfield-designed silhouette, arriving in clean white perforated mesh and light “Sail” suede panels.

The definitive “Ironstone” hues are strewn across the side Swooshes, heel embroidery, and upper eyelets while subtle neon hits decorate the insoles and special tongue tab patches which feature the text: “Nike Air consists of a special gas, pressurized inside a durable, flexible, urethane skin. After each step or jump, Nike Air cushioning springs back to its original shape.” Rounding out the look are retro-toned sole units featuring clear Air bubble windows.

Inspired by MJ to KEEP GOING and never stop, Khaled put his own touch on the classic with the “We The Best” logo on the heel and removed the upper pod for a slimmer fit. And don’t forget to flip the tongue—a hidden message reminds you to push through all the noise.

 

 

 

 



Air Jordan 1 • Lost and Found

December 1, 2022 | Category: Ward 1 Sneakers


 

You already know what the Air Jordan 1 is all about. It’s a staple of sneaker culture. The Air Jordan 1, however, wasn’t destined to be an all-time classic. When it first debuted in 1985, there weren’t grand expectations. Instead, there were critics loudly chirping about Nike’s decision to give Michael Jordan a large sneaker deal before he played a single game and the rookie’s choice to sign with a company that, up to that point, was best known for running shoes. Jordan quickly flipped the narrative on the court by winning Rookie of the Year, averaging 28.2 PPG, 6.5 RPG, and 5.9 APG in 1985 while donning Air Jordan 1s. MJ’s meteoric rise propelled the Air Jordan 1, resulting in nationwide demand and making the sneakers a must-have for hoop heads. The AJ1 “Chicago” was inspired by the high top Air Jordan 1 original colorway, first released in 1985. The shoe harkens back to a time when shoe boxes were often lost in inventory stockrooms, only to be found again years later. Before the advent of sophisticated inventory systems, products were typically tracked with pen and paper. Human error was inevitable and frequently resulted in shoe boxes with mismatched lids. The AJ1 Chicago is a throwback to this era, drawing inspiration from what an original 1985 Air Jordan 1 would look like if found decades later in a dusty stock room.
According to the Jordan design team, the goal of this shoe was to create a “time travel moment,” especially for a new generation of consumers. The process of buying a shoe today is very different from what it was like in the 80s. This sneaker attempts to capture that lost and found feeling, giving consumers a taste of what a box-fresh, vintage AJ1 would have looked like back in the day. The Jordan Brand team responsible for developing the AJ1 Chicago obsessed every detail of the shoe’s design to bring this nostalgic story to life. Jordan designers studied multiple pairs of original AJ1s in varying states of distress to capture the nuances of the shoe’s look, described as having “light to no wear but with materials that sat for years in a box and didn’t withstand the test of time.” In a nod to the “lost and found” nature of the colorway, the updated Chicago comes with a mismatched box lid that speaks to the shoes being misplaced in back rooms and basements. Designers added extra details both inside and outside the box that serve as a shout out to shoe promotions created once upon a time. According to the Jordan design team, every detail should be recognizable to those who grew up back in those days, while giving new sneakerheads a chance to experience what it was like. One such example is the inclusion with every pair of a vintage receipt meant to replicate actual receipts that found their way into the hands of collectors from deadstock shoeboxes. The receipt calls up images of how sneakers used to be acquired in analog fashion before the internet age. Jordan designers took an approach that gave the 2022 Air Jordan 1 Chicago “an edge, a narrative and a connection.” They wanted a look and feel that came with a history tied back to something many consumers may not even be aware of. Ultimately, whether old school or new generation, Jordan Brand wants every consumer to see beauty in the story behind the shoe.

A Ma Maniére X Air Jordan IV

This moment is inspired by the Black and Brown leaders changing the world from the heart of their community with purpose, passion and vision.

Standing firm on our ethos of timelessness on a silhouette renowned for its impact and significance across time, this moment serves to bring a generation together to form a better future with hope and bravery in the face of doubt and uncertainty. This is about where we’re going – and the future depends on us all.

 

 

 

 




 

Air Jordan 1 • Retro High OG – Patent Bred

 
The legend continues, and what better way to spring into 2022 than with a fresh pair of Breds on your feet? Beginning December 30 2021, the Jumpman delivers a Jordan 1 Retro High OG that gets the black, white and Varsity Red “Patent” palette with a luxe patent-leather treatment. This sophisticated sneak gets a predominantly black treatment, which extends to the mudguards, quarter panels and throat. Black laces atop the nylon throat add to the elegance. A Varsity Red toebox speckled with ventilated holes ties in nicely with the heel counter, red side Swooshes and ankle overlay. A white outsole adds a bit of lightness sandwiched between upper and outsole, and Nike Air branding lands on the tongue tag and insoles, with a Swoosh on the classic rubber outsole. Originally conceived in the mid-1980s, the Air Jordan 1 High delivers serious style on and off the court all these years later. This patent leather rendition is a modern-day meditation on a Bred masterpiece.
