Jordan Brand is offering a number of highly anticipated releases for its 40th anniversary this year, ranging from nostalgic retro styles to luxury collaborations. Among the offerings are an assortment of special in-line colourways, like the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Self Expression”.

A Closer Look At The Sneaker

While the sneaker may look like your run-of-the-mill Jordan 1 colourway at first glance, there’s more than meets the eye. The shoes have a multi-layered design, with a black top layer that wears away to a multicoloured middle layer that then eventually fades to a plain white base. Finishing off the distinct look is a “Sail” midsole and black rubber outsole below.
