After multiple special NYC-only releases with the likes of Kith and Extra Butter, Nigel Sylvester‘s special Air Jordan 1 is finally set for a full-on global release. The Queens-born Sylvester has played a tremendous part in the evolution of BMX since signing to Nike and Mirra Co at the young age of 18, pushing the sport in a fresh new direction while riding with grace, power, and effortless style — and doing it all in the AJ1, a shoe that’s had a long history with skateboarding, if not normally BMX.
As Nigel doesn’t ride with brakes — instead using his shoes to slow his momentum — his AJ1s come with worn in look right out of the box, boasting unique scuffs on each pair and a yellowed upper/midsole. Gone is the stitched-on swoosh on the medial side, replaced by a simple hit of white detailing with perforations while a silver version adorns the lateral side. New is a small forefoot swoosh, an adornment not commonly seen on the Jordan 1. Nigel’s special kicks are then completed with a black tongue and throat, a weathered red outsole, and a “Jordan Biking Co” hit on the inner collar.
Look for this Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 1 High OG to be released at sole4souls.com . 100% ORIGINAL.
