During Michael Jordan’s first visit to Tokyo, the NBA legend went up against a young boy as part of the brand’s “Nike Hoop Heroes” event. This Air Jordan 1 Low named ‘Tokyo 96’ references both the youth’s UNC jersey and the Air Jordan 12 MJ wore during the 1-on-1 match up, which was adorned with lizard skin. This served as inspiration for the Swooshes on this fresh Air Jordan 1 Low design. The perforated toe boxes and quarter panels are made of rich suede and a cool shade of blue on the forefoot overlays adds a subtle UNC-inspired touch.
