As autumn takes hold, bringing with it the unmistakable crispness in the air and a mosaic of earthy hues, Jordan Brand seizes this transitional moment to unveil a season-appropriate rendition of the iconic Air Jordan 1, fortified with GORE-TEX tooling to weather any storm. This new iteration of the Air Jordan 1 Element leans into the natural palette that autumn unfurls, presenting a fresh and inherently familiar colorway.
This model eschews the bold for the nuanced, opting for a subtle, light cream ripstop fabric that constructs the quarter panels, tongue, and iconic winged insignia and even extends into the midsole. This quandary of material isn't just aesthetically pleasing; it's strategic, offering a lightweight resilience suited to the shoe's all-weather premise.
However, the understated star of the show is the luxurious, water-resistant tumbled leather overlays, revealed in a rich tan that replaces the winter-rendition brown, giving a nod to the warmth of sun-touched earth rather than the deep, damp soil that winter promises. This tan leather brings a soft, almost nostalgic warmth to the silhouette, suggesting the comfort of a favorite leather jacket.
Contrasting both the cream and tan is a deep, “Olive” hue, reserved for the vamp and heel collar, infusing the sneaker with a military utilitarian aesthetic that's as functional as it is stylish. This isn’t just color for color’s sake; it’s a thoughtful, thematic tie to the changing seasons, underscoring the shoe’s readiness for the elements.
