The sneaker fuses three types of leather and fabrics Jordan brand is known to play around with. First up is the snakeskin leather, first seen on the Air Jordan 11 “Snakeskin”. Just like AJ11, the snakeskin is used to accentuate the sneaker – appearing on only on the swoosh, heel cap and Swoosh. The rest of the sneaker’s upper resembles the “Chicago” colorway of the Air Jordan, constructed with a mix of white and red on smooth leather.
