Jordan Brand’s connections with the City of Love go way back to 1985, where MJ headed out to Paris for a pre-season exhibition game. He was famously snapped outside the Eifel Tower in the OG Royals that has saved the moment in time where Paris became a part of the Jordan Brand story. They now have strong ties with the city’s professional football team, PSG, and opened an epic flagship store in town for the brand’s 30th Anniversary. They also sponsor the long-running Quai 54 Streetball tournament. Now as a follow-up to last year’s epic (and ultra-limited) Air Jordan 34, Air Jordan 6 Retro Sport Blue 2014 384664-107 Jordan Tatum 1 Pink Lemonade “Paris” Jordan 1 white purple.
This year we’re getting a fairly elegant-feminine effort that is quintessentially Parisian, with elegant ivory hues juxtaposed against jet blacks, both met with decadent pearlescent and metallic gold finishes — and a very boujie motif floral to boot. Uppers of fine mesh and suede in Pale Ivory set an elegant tone from the front, with jet black and metallic golds at the tongue, heel tags, and surrounds of the Eclipse plate stamping some authority to an otherwise dainty aesthetic. The just-mentioned midfoot plate arrives in a full-pearlescent finish, while a very very opulent (and very French) floral print runs from the toe to the liner and to the insoles. Direct shoutouts to the city come by-way-of lateral ankle “75” branding — the city’s area code — and “Paname”, the city’s surname, hitting the rear tag. Completing the design is a special set of numbered inner tongue tags, which appear to show that the release is limited to just 102 pairs, and special floral-graphic boxing.
A release date for the Jordan Tatum 1 Pink Lemonade “Paris” has not yet been set, but you would suspect that these, like last year’s release, will be exclusive to Jordan Bastille. Until further details emerge, take a peep at the full image set below, and as always, keep your eyes locked on our official Twitter account On-Foot images of the Air Jordan 12 are here via YankeeKicks.
