The Air Jordan 1 has many iterations to offer a myriad of outputs for Jordan Brand’s inspirations and themes. The Air Jordan 1 Retro ’86 incorporates elements specifically of the Air Jordan 2, like the textured heel wrap and bold wings logo on the tongue and ankle. Usually the ’86 is inspired by previous Air Jordan II colorways, but this time Jordan Brand is making an original for the ’86: the “Dark Concord.”

The Newest Retro ’86 is set to hit retailers on May 10. We’ve got the official photos paired with the release so you can get a good look. The upper is almost entirely black smooth leather, with major portions in a lizard texture. Dark purple covers the swoosh and lines the sneakers, as well as the laces. A bright white midsole adds some contrast.

Keep a look out to your favorite Jordan retailer this coming weekend for your chance to grab a pair.
