Either way you spin it, that’s a hell of a milestone. So it goes without saying that this is a pretty special shoe. To be fair, even a cursory glance at these sneakers can tell you that.
They sport a monochromatic colorway, black on top and white on the bottom, that’s among the cleanest and most minimalist Jordans have ever looked — officially or unofficially (there are a lot of customs out there).
But it’s not just a special colorway. These sneakers also have a combination of tech that the brand has never employed in any model.
“Never been done is what we do”
For the first time ever in this sneaker, Nike has stacked a full-length Zoom Strobel (a method of attaching the upper part of a shoe to its insole) unit on top of full-length ZoomX foam cushioning.
That gives “The Classic” marathon-level responsiveness, energy return and comfort. The sneaker also features internal straps beneath its premium leather upper to offer unmatched security, whether you’re going hard in the paint or just going to the corner store.
