2013’s The Air Toe Jordan 1 Retro High OG has been the silhouette Toe Jordan “Bel-Air” homage to Will Smith’s Fresh Prince is one of the most natural cross-overs in Toe Jordan Brand’s storied collection. After all, Will was seen rocking the 1990 signature sneaker in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’s very first episode. That was then followed by a slew of on-screen Toe Jordan wears over the cult classic’s six-year run, forging an even stronger bond between the two pop culture icons. With both the 2013 and Alternate 2020 releases well-seen, today, English Sole gives us a very first look at a pair that was almost released at SESAME-FAUNA; the 2013 look-see sample dressed in striking blue suede.
Boasting a striking cobalt blue suede upper and a bevy of bright neon accents, it’s easy to see how the pair draws inspiration from the sitcom’s opening titles. With fully-flecked midsoles, hot pink and teal liners, and vibrant neon at the tongue, heel, and toe, the pair pulls off the ultra-90s aesthetic — and then some. It’s finished with reflective tongues (not seen on the SESAME-FAUNA version) and black eyestays, and hardware around the midfoot.
See these beauties in detail for yourself below, and with these remaining a rarity, this will likely be the closest most of us get to a pair; If you love the aesthetic, however, you can scoop up pairs of the original 2013 and alternate 2020 release right here on StockX and GOAT.
