The Jordan 1 Retro Black Patent is a reimagination of an iconic silhouette, and combines the classic design of the Air Jordan 1 with a shiny, patent leather finish. Keeping the original high-top design of the Air Jordan, these shoes provide substantial ankle support for both on the court and off. They’re equipped with Nike Air cushioning in the heel, a technology that revolutionized athletic footwear when Nike first introduced it and that continues to be a hallmark of footwear performance. A combination of leather and premium materials comprise the upper, onto which the Air Jordan Wings logo is displayed on the lateral side. But what our experts love most about the Jordan 1 Retro Black Patent, however, is its solid black colorway, which allows the blend of materials used in its design to take center stage. These sneakers released on December 1, 2016, for $150.
