For 2024, Tinker Hatfield’s brainchild returns in the renowned ‘Columbia’, a colourway that Michael Jordan debuted in 1996 during his return to the hardwood midseason exhibition. Under the ‘Legend Blue’ moniker, this rendition is flushed with details. Arriving in a supple and patent leather upper dressed in shades of white adding extra depth to this tonal layered construction. The model is brightened up with an icy blue sole, while a carbon fibre plate sheathes the lowers – supplying high energy return for when you need it most. Other details include a bungee-styled lace system, a cushioned midsole and Jumpman detailing signing off with some ingenious court history. | 378039-104, Leather & Textile Upper/Synthetic Sole.
