The shoe boasts a multi-toned upper, dominated by a deep Anthracite base that exudes cool confidence. This dark foundation sets the stage for Glacier Blue and Aquatone overlays, two captivating shades that shimmer with hints of cyan and aqua. This electrifying blue washes over the overlays, including the Swoosh, collar and heel counter, creating a dynamic contrast.
Smooth, premium leather graces the overlays, adding a touch of luxe, while breathable nylon on the collar and toe box ensures optimal airflow for active feet. Under the overlay, the collar is a fun white with light blue pinstripes and light blue padding.
The iconic Wings logo adorns the lateral ankle in crisp white, offering a timeless signature to the design. Additionally, you'll see a special tongue patch featuring the message "Inspired by the Greatest" in red cursive. This motivational mantra serves as a subtle reminder of The Black Cat's legacy and fuels the dreams of young ballers. On the back of the tongue is a vintage Nike Air tag—something you don't always see in modern Jordan Brand designs.
The midsole stays true to Jordan heritage, dressed in white. Grounding the design is an aqua rubber outsole featuring the iconic pivot circle tread pattern, promising reliable traction on any court or playground.
While not officially confirmed, the color scheme of Glacier Blue and black bears a striking resemblance to the Charlotte Hornets, a team Michael Jordan once owned. This subtle nod might be a hidden gem for eagle-eyed Jordan fans.
Helping your little one style this shoe is simple. They can throw it on with jeans and a T-shirt for a casual look or go with a pair of shorts and a tank top for a more sporty vibe.
