Rediscovering a classic: Air Jordan 1 High '85 "Metallic Pack"
Unearthed from the depths of sneaker history, the Air Jordan 1 High '85 "Metallic Pack" stands as a hidden gem within Peter Moore's iconic 1985 lineup. Amidst these classics, the often underestimated "Metallic Burgundy" is set to make a triumphant return in 2024, marking its first reissue in 38 years.
A resurgence of distinctive style
Diverging from the original "Metallic Red," this reincarnation boasts a deeper red hue, infusing the sneaker with a unique and captivating charm. The 2024 release faithfully resurrects the initial design, draped in a timeless White and Team Red color scheme. The upper, composed of breathable white leather, features toe box perforations and mesh tongues for a classic touch.
Subtle elegance in Metallic Burgundy
Adding a touch of flair, Metallic Burgundy (Team Red) accents adorn the Swosoh logo, collar, inner lining, and Wings. The "Nike Air" branding on the tongues and rubber outsole adopts the Team Red tone, ensuring a harmonious and cohesive aesthetic. The enduring design comes to a clean finish with a pristine White midsole.
