As Michael Jordan’s love for golf has developed over the decades, the Chicago Bulls-legend has reimagined several pairs within his Air Jordan New AIR flip JORDAN SE ASW Black PATENT.
Recently, the Air Jordan Thrift Nike AJ XI 11 Retro Low White Red 2012 shoe appeared in a “Black,” “Starfish” and “White” colorway (also known as the “Shattered Backboard”). The forefoot indulges in series of pitch-dark panels, while the bulk of the upper divvies up the three aforementioned hues to commemorate #23’s stunning performance in Italy in 1985 (during which he shattered the backboard). Jumpman Golf logos replace traditional “NIKE AIR” text on the Jordan 1-variant’s tongue label, while “Wings” logos – co-designed by the late Peter Moore – reprise their original placement. Underfoot, the Golf Jordans features a raised traction pattern, with tread underneath the ball of the foot following a radial layout for champion-worthy performance.
Enjoy an early look at the pair ahead, courtesy of Instagram users @solein1 and @jjborecky6. A Nike.com launch is expected to take place before the summer ends.
