From A Ma Maniére to Off-White and even Dior, Jordan Brand has often teamed up with luxury labels to deliver some of their most iconic sneakers. As we look forward to more of these upscale collaborations to mark the brand’s 40th anniversary next year—like the upcoming Air Jordan 1 with Swarovski—it’s natural to wonder what’s next. Right now, the creative Leroy Van Drie has us all dreaming of a potential Prada x Air Jordan 1 collaboration.
A Closer Look At The Sneaker
Van Drie’s vision for this dream collaboration includes two elegant Air Jordan 1 designs that incorporate Prada’s signature materials and minimalist aesthetic.
The first design is predominantly black, combining a mesh base with tumbled leather overlays, glossy patent leather Swooshes and even rubber accents.
The branding is on point with a black and silver Prada lace dubrae and the brand’s iconic triangle logo on a detachable mini bag strapped across the shoe. You’ll also find 3D “Prada” text printed on the heel and the all-black sole unit.
The second pair is an all-white version, mirroring the features of its black counterpart but instead maintaining a white colourway right down to the branding elements.
Needless to say, both designs scream luxury and sophistication, and if brought to life, they would undoubtedly rank among the best luxury collaborations in the sneaker world.
Is The Prada x Air Jordan 1 Available For Purchase?
Unfortunately, this pair is just a concept for now, and there are no current plans for a Jordan and Prada partnership. That said, with more designs regularly added to Jordan Brand’s 40th anniversary lineup, there is always that little glimmer of hope.
In the meantime, make sure to familiarise yourself with all the upcoming Jordan releases we will be getting next year, such as the “Melo” Air Jordan 12, the Air Jordan “Rare Air” collection, and the Air Jordan 5 Grape.
