Introducing the Air Jordan 1 Low in Wolf Grey
The Air Jordan 1 is the sneaker that started it all, marking the beginning of the most iconic lineage of sneakers in history. In many ways, it's responsible for launching modern-day sneaker culture as a whole—and it almost didn't happen.
History of Air Jordan 1
As the story goes, the year was 1984, and Chicago Bulls' rookie Michael Jordan was a hot commodity for endorsement deals, with sneakers naturally being paramount.
Jordan had just come off a stellar college basketball season at the University of North Carolina. He wore Converse and was a personal fan of Adidas, so he took meetings with both companies, but they never reached a deal. It seems strange today, but at the time, Michael Jordan hated Nike—so much so that he refused to take a meeting with them.
He was persuaded by his mother, Deloris Jordan, to visit the Nike campus in Oregon and listen to their pitch. His plan was to go through the motions to appease his parents and agent but he ultimately left with a contract unlike any other.
Rather than walking in the shadows of established athletes like Magic Johnson and Larry Bird (which may have been the case had he signed elsewhere), Michael Jordan shone in the Nike limelight. He was paid more than any other athlete with a sneaker endorsement at the time. Nike made him the face of its growing presence in basketball, and gave him his own sneaker line—called Air Jordan.
Jordan 1 Low White Wolf Gray
The Air Jordan 1 in Wolf Grey for women features a low-cut style. Its cool hues are reminiscent of the Dior x Air Jordan 1 Low. The majority of white and Wolf Grey color blocking is present throughout the shoe's entirety. The Wolf Grey theme makes its debut by way of the Durabuck overlays. Lightly colored leather acts as the base per the sidewall and perforated toe. The shoe's lacing system, collar lining, and tongue also feature a light color that offsets the Wolf Grey. Swoosh logos appear on the sidewall, while the tongue features a Jumpman logo, and the heel is home to the Air Jordan logo with soaring wings and a basketball. A translucent outsole is placed just below the white midsoles.
