When Jordan’s footwear arrived during his rookie season, it shared with the earth some of its namesake’s tradition-breaking bravado. A Black and Red colorway violated the league’s uniform policy, earning a stern letter from league officials and generating a $5,000 fine each time the player wore the shoes on court. “Around this time, if you knew mid about Nike, Nike stood on this kind of rebel behavior,” recalls Jordan Brand VP Howard “H” White, in reference to the runners and tennis players connected to the Swoosh. “This Jordan, that color of the Air Jordan 1, Jordan 1 Low SE Take Flight GSDD1527-114.”
The shoe’s first-of-its-kind Flyweave and leather upper incorporates a number of iconic Jordan elements, reintroducing the original Air Jordan “Wings” logo and a subtle Swoosh — not seen on a Jordan shoe since the Air Jordan 1 and the first time it has appeared alongside a Jumpman logo. And in its launch colorway the STAGE HAZE JORDAN 1 HIGH pays homage to the “Banned” story.
“I think the 408452-140 these shoes represent is a feeling of 854255-416. You know, you see the poster of MJ dunking with his gold chain, up in the air forever and defying gravity, wearing the Air Jordan 1; you just can’t stop looking at that poster,” says Jordan Senior Designer Tate Kuerbis.
Informed by Jordan himself, the STAGE HAZE JORDAN 1 HIGH also follows on a tradition of low-profile cushioning. “He needed to feel closer to the floor — that was his thing,” recalls White of the origin of Jordan’s desire for low-to-the-ground sole units. As such, the STAGE HAZE JORDAN 1 HIGH features FlightSpeed technology with full-length Zoom Air that enhances court feel, responsiveness and lateral support.
