This was the shoe deal that mister "greatest of all time" took despite being personally more interested in Adidas' "Forum" high top basketball sneakers. But regardless of what Michael Jordan wore to international tournaments before Nike locked him down for a couple of years, history seems to have been rewritten and people seem to believe MJ always loved his Nike Air Jordans.
The "Hi 85" cut supposedly reconstructs the Air Jordan 1 to a specification that hadn't been on the market in over 30 years, using thicker cuts of stiffer leather to construct a flatter toe-box, instead of the more bulbous ones made of pleather that Jordan brand enthusiasts have grown accustomed. Amongst sneaker-heads, this particular silhouette is quite sought after, second only to actual original Air Jordan 1s from the year 1985.
I couldn't get into the "reverse bred" colourway. The colour blocking just can't compare to the original black/red design, and I always ended up wearing my other pairs of sneakers because of it. So, I did the unthinkable, and destroyed any semblance of resale value these shoes had by dousing them in acrylic spray paint. I didn't put too much effort into my "ice cream paint job"; I only masked off the bottom half of the outsole and the interior lining. I didn't bother preparing the materials with solvents because I'm not concerned about the new layer of paint not adhering properly. If anything, I wanted it to be able to wear away and chip off at high stress points in the material, revealing the original red and black colours of the leather panels as I wear them.
