Pull Out The Red Carpet For The Gucci Air Jordan 1

Jordan Brand and Gucci should stop teasing us with festive concepts and just drop a luxury sneaker already—because if @jordanmyconcepts' design is anything to go by, my wallet is already crying.

Jordan Brand is no stranger when it comes to working with all kinds of luxury brands around the world, including Dior and, of course, Gucci. Back in 2012, Nike and Gucci forged a creative alliance, collaborating on projects like the coveted Air Jordan 1 Retro Gucci edition. However, collaborations of this kind have been few and far between. Still, it may be time for a Jordan x Gucci collaboration again.

The Original Air Jordan 1 Retro Gucci

The original Air Jordan 1 Retro Gucci was much more Jordan than Gucci. It was a relatively plain Air Jordan 1 sneaker with the deceptively festive colourway that Gucci is known for, sporting greens and reds. For many, this design needed to be more luxurious for their taste.

A Stunning New Sneaker: Jordan x Gucci Air Jordan 1

Air Jordan 1 x Gucci Concept Surpasses the Iconic Original

Speaking of which, @jordanmyconcepts released an absolutely stunning concept image for a pair of Jordan x Gucci Air Jordan 1 sneakers that breathe the luxury concept back into the retro sneaker design.

Maintaining the “festive” colourway with alternating elements of green and red, each shoe section has a dominant colour. Starting from the outsole, we see bright red, instantly contrasted by the foresty Gucci green midsole.

That same green dominates most of the upper, taking up the panelling of the toe box and the mudguard and blanketing the sneaker up to the collar, including the tongue and the laces.

The bright red comes through on several elements of the sneaker, like the lateral and medial Nike Swoosh logos in a bit of a reflective, metallic finish, copied on the heel counter and on the panelling that reaches from the heel up to the top two pairs of lace stays.

On the top panel, you can also see the Air Jordan logo proudly debossed near the ankle in a slightly darker shade of red.

The Gucci Signature Element Returns

Most luxury Gucci pieces feature the signature band of green with a red stripe, often featuring the little golden bee, perhaps as a belt or a shoulder strap. This little detail was remarkably missing from the original Air Jordan 1 Retro Gucci pair, and it’s lovely to see that @jordanmyconcepts has elected to include it this time.

The Reality: A Concept, Not a Collaboration

This stunning pair of sneakers only has one downside: it is merely a concept and not an actual collaboration. For all those in favour of petitioning Jordan and Gucci to collaborate, please raise your hand with me. Until then, we hope that some sneaker customizers get their hands on this concept and we get to see what a physical pair looks like in the future.

Would you buy these stunning Jordan x Gucci Air Jordan 1 sneakers?
