This actually isn’t the first time that the Kobe, Japan-based brand has applied a grayscale approach to this silhouette, but we haven’t seen this particular colorway before. The mixture of materials is very similar to previous GEL-NYC releases; the predominantly “Black” upper is nicely contrasted by a shiny silver overlay, and “Graphite Gray” appears throughout the sole, with a nice gradient shift at the midsole.
The Air Jordan 1 Low ‘All Star 2021’ celebrates the NBA’s midseason showcase with a sleek colorway of the classic silhouette. The black leather upper is enlivened with shiny tonal patent leather overlays at the toe and heel. A matching patent leather Swoosh is accented with white contrast stitching, while an embroidered Wings logo adorns the back heel. The sneaker rides on a standard rubber cupsole, featuring a foam wedge and encapsulated Nike Air for enhanced cushioning.
Following the “Spartan Green” Highs that dropped in 2020, the Nike Dunk Low “Team Green” takes the very same colors and brings it over to a more Summer-friendly format. From the toe to the counter, the overlays dress in the titular color, its grain far, far darker than the white neutrals underneath. Swooshes, linings, and even the laces match the more colorful of the two, sticking in line with the usual two-toned scheme the Dunk has become signature for. There is a subtle touch of deviation, though, as the insole brands with a mostly hidden bit of orange.
