Matt Varga With more Americans playing golf than ever before, the shift we’ve seen in the Jordan Brand product calendar towards more performance gear isn’t just a nod to MJ’s second love, it’s necessary to stay with the times. The evergreen appeal of the Air Jordan 1 has dovetailed into dozens of offshoot models, and ones tooled for the green aren’t an exception. The latest might be the most impressive though, with the official unveiling of the Jordan Mars 270 Low herresko shoes “University Blue.”
You may not need us to spell it out for you, but this release takes heavy cues from the mainline “University Blue” pair that dropped in 2021. The color-blocking is identical, but outside of grafting on a cleated traction unit underfoot, the exact shade of blue appears a bit darker and a bit deeper on this edition. At least in these images, it lands somewhere in between tint of that previous release and the one worn on the Jordan 1 “UNC Toe.”
While Jumpman golf offerings have been a constant for several years, this pair illustrates how JB has reflected mainline, sought-after colorways into the performance catalog. Rather than minting new colorways that might not offer the same appeal, this shoe and pairs like the Air Jordan 9 Golf “Cool Grey” are meant to carve out a lane where you don’t have to lose any street appeal when you step on the green.
The Jordan Mars 270 Low herresko shoes “University Blue” drops on April 26th, retailing for $190. Take a look at official images just ahead.
Staying on the Jordan Release Dates 2024 calendar, the Air Jordan 1 “Green Glow” shapes up as one of this month’s biggest releases.
