Nike Benassi JDI slides White Black

It’s the rare sneaker that satisfies the “rule of three”—sometimes, having three minds is greater than one. In the case of Jordan Brand, Travis Scott and Hiroshi Fujiwara’s Fragment Design, it was a case of three masterminds coming together to collaborate on not just any Air Jordan, but the beloved Air Jordan 1—a model both the Houston rapper and the Japanese designer have tapped for past Jordan Brand link-ups. Their Air Jordan 1 Low colourway comes in familiar colour blocking schemes, but with special touches only Scott and Fujiwara could’ve conjured up. On top of an aged midsole with matching Sail laces, fresh Military Blue accents the heel, collar and insole, providing a new flavour for a classic make-up. And no need for double-takes at the Sail Swoosh—it’s indeed backwards—now a signature Scott touch for his Air Jordan 1 designs. But if anyone on the street rubbernecks while you’re rocking this collab, they’ll know who’s responsible: Cactus Jack and Fragment Design logos are embossed on the left and right heels, respectively, leaving their modern marks on this time-tested silhouette.

The Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG ‘Reverse Mocha’ delivers a twist on the original ‘Mocha’ AJ1 Low from 2019. The upper combines a brown suede base with ivory leather overlays and the Houston rapper’s signature reverse Swoosh on the lateral side, featuring oversized dimensions and a neutral cream finish. Contrasting scarlet accents distinguish a pair of woven Nike Air tongue tags, as well as mismatched Cactus Jack and retro Wings logos embroidered on each heel tab. A vintage off-white rubber midsole is bolstered with encapsulated Nike Air cushioning in the heel and a brown rubber outsole underfoot.
