Adding a stormy edge to your summer look, Air Jordan presents the “Kentucky”. Originally releasing the 1 KO in the 80s, this sneaker pays homage to the original in the low top styling. Teaming up with Union LA for the colourway after the success of “Bred”. Made up of a sail and storm blue, the sneakers feature large panels of canvas on the uppers for a modern, city look. Moving away from the basketball-inspired leather, these shoes are made with a suede Swoosh over the top. The sneakers continue with the heritage style with the Wings logo printed across the back heel which is also an iconic moment of the 80s.
