Giving the nod to the NBA’s midseason exhibition, the Air Jordan 1 Low All Star 2021 emerges with a largely black look and an elevated construction. The shoe’s upper features a black leather base, overlaid by tonal patent leather at the toe and heel. The Swoosh also sports a patent leather construction, contrasted by white stitching that’s matched by the ‘Wings’ logo. Underfoot, a white Air midsole provides cushioning, giving way to a concentric rubber outsole for traction.
