Air Jordan 1 Rebellionaire

April 30, 2022 | Category: Ward 1 Sneakers

Air Jordan 1 Rebellionaire

In September 1985, Nike and MJ launched the Air Jordan 1. A month later, they were “banned” by the league. Although the AJ1 is a sports and streetwear icon now, back when the sneakers debuted, they were highly disruptive and instantly revolutionary. While the league may have tried to stop MJ from lacing up in the original AJ1, they couldn’t do anything to temper the fans, so “They Can’t Stop You From Wearing Them” became a defiant rallying cry. Now, the spirit of the sneaker is brought to life through the ‘Rebellionaire’ Air Jordan 1, which features that same not-so-subtle reminder printed all over the style’s upper, and includes a Red “X” mark on the heel to commemorate the birth of the banned legend.

This Nike Air Max 1 is a blueprint-themed iteration of the model that is a nod to the silhouette’s worldwide appeal. Constructed out of mesh and leather, the sneaker opts for a White, Dark Marina Blue, and Dutch Blue color scheme.

Air Jordan 3 Muslin

Air Jordan 3 Muslin

Throughout MJ’s dynasty run, fans and teammates counted on his durability. His six championships, delivered in heroic fashion, were epitomized by toughness, strength, and physical fortitude. Bringing that same attitude to a beloved retro, the Air Jordan 3 “Muslin” uses a heavy-duty canvas upper and strong Cement Grey suede to welcome everyday challenges with rugged style. Its Sail midsole finishes the vintage-inspired makeup, while University Red accents shout-out Air Jordan heritage.
 

 




 

Introducing the Concepts x Nike Air Max SP “Mellow”

To celebrate 35 years of a sneaker icon, we give the Air Max 1 a radical twist. When the Nike Air Max 1 arrived in 1987, it signaled a revolution in footwear design. Air, its namesake, was fully-unleashed — made visible through a window — and with this shifted aesthetic and technical boundaries. 35 years later, Concepts brings its own radical twist to the classic silhouette. If the original firmly shouted a futurist vision, our take on Air Max 1 positions the shoe within a radical lineage of youthful expression.

While the world-famous Air Jordan 1 stance and shape remain the same, this beloved retro makeup features a new flavor. On top of a White midsole, Black smooth leather underlays create a premium surface for Dark Marina Blue leather overlays, eyestays, and signature Swoosh. A classic debossed Air Jordan Wings logo clipped to the collar finishes off a new fan favorite.

 


 



Nike Air Max 90 DQM •  Bacon

Nike Air Max 90 DQM • Bacon

The DQM x Nike Air Max 90 is the stuff of legends. Originally released in 2004 as a limited-edition collaboration, the shoe drew inspiration from Dave Ortiz’ butcher shop-themed boutique, with bacon as the main course.

The early 2000s were a very different time for the sneaker world than what we are experiencing today. Then, Nike was the undisputed king of footwear, leading the way with silhouettes like the SB Dunk, the all-new Nike Kobe line, and of course, Air Max silhouettes. In 2004, the brand teamed up with New York City’s DQM (Dave’s Quality Meats) boutique for an exclusive release of the fan-favorite Air Max 90. Taking inspiration from DQM’s butcher shop theme, the “Bacon” Air Max 90 displays an array of colors that immediately evoke the idea of tasty breakfast meat. Both light and dark shades of brown, red, and a splash of pink make up the legendary DQM x Nike Air Max 90.

The legendary 2004 Air Max 90 release from New York City boutique Dave’s Quality Meats and Nike is a fan-favorite Air Max, and will likely be limited, releasing from both Nike and select high-level retailers for $140+.
 


 



Air Jordan 11 Retro Platinum Tint

Air Jordan 11 Retro Platinum Tint

Jordan Brand’s flight-fueled ethos inspires the latest colorway of the iconic Air Jordan XI with the arrival of a new ‘Platinum Tint’ iteration. Sporting colors pulled from flight suits and space-ready materials, the Air Jordan XI ‘Platinum Tint’ takes the coveted classic to new heights.

The primary design element that sets the latest Air Jordan XI apart is a premium nubuck upper, which is constructed in a smooth Platinum Tint hue. The Air Jordan XI has become synonymous with special moments on and off the court, and this never-before-released colorway, constructed with elevated materials, continues that storied tradition.

While the upper of the Air Jordan XI ‘Platinum Tint’ keeps it clean, bold hits of university red help the sneaker to stand out. Branding hits pop across the silhouette, as the Jumpman logo, tongue tag and heel 23 are found in the classic hue.

Finally, the Air Jordan XI ‘Platinum Tint’ features an opaque Sail outsole that further differentiates this elegant version of the Jordan Brand favorite. In addition, a bright University Red Jumpman logo can also be found on the outsole nestled next to the shoe’s iconic carbon fiber plate.

Michael Jordan’s 1st Game

On Oct. 26, 1984, Chicago Bulls rookie Michael Jordan made his NBA debut against the Washington Bullets.
The No. 3 overall pick in the 1984 draft didn’t put up legendary numbers in his first game, but he did put up solid numbers in his debut. Although he made only five of his 16 shots from the field, Jordan finished the game with 16 points, seven assists and six rebounds.

Chicago beat Washington, 109-93.

Jordan went on to win the NBA Rookie of the Year award by averaging 28.2 points, 5.9 assists, 6.5 rebounds and 2.4 steals in his first season in the league.
Of course, that was just the start of things to come. Jordan made 14 All-Star teams, won five NBA Most Valuable Player awards and led the Bulls to six championships, winning the NBA Finals MVP award in all six.
