The Air Jordan 31 isn't purely a performance sneaker. The model is certainly intended for playing basketball, but it has at times departed from the high-tech construction to don lifestyle looks, like the "Black Friday" one spotted at ComplexCon.
Also floating around is this pair, a snakeskin take on Michael Jordan's latest signature silhouette shared by Frank Cooker of Jordan Brand. The model dials down the logo-crowded upper of the shoe just a bit by leaving off the Jumpman usually spotted at the tail end of the Swoosh. Jordan branding remains intact via the "Wings" logo near the collar.
It's unclear at this point if the pair pictured is a retail release or something made for Jordan Brand friends and family. If the former is the case, watch for Jordan release date info on the model here at Sole Collector.
