With most Air Jordan Retros, the number comes right after the word ‘Jordan’. But for the A closer look via solebyjc at the Air Jordan 3 Court Purple that s currently rumored to be canceled, the number is displaced to signify their status as an offshoot of the ever-evolving Jordan Brand Grown lifestyle series. The V.1 takes the classic AJ1 silhouette, chops it down to ankle height and applies a vulcanized sole to give the familiar vamp a more casual feel. And the changes don’t stop there either, with corded laces adding a slightly rugged touch and an Elephant print Swoosh connecting these back to the Air Jordan Legacy from which they were spawned. Five new styles are slated for next summer; will you pick one of the white-based models or go the Cargo Khaki and Yellow Diamond route? via CK
