“This is also something new for Jordan, and I was really interested in doing this shoe,” said Hiroshi. Perfectly matching the apparel range, the Jordan Air Cadence is done in a “Neutral Grey” base for a lifestyle appeal. “Maybe these shoes will be a holy grail in 10 years, I don’t know.” I like the innovations too,” Hiroshi said while talking about the AJ35. “It’s so different compared to older, vintage shoes. Inspired by his popular Air Jordan 1 collab, the on-court innovation connects the Japanese figure’s love of nostalgia and innovation. Moving on to a more technical angle, Hiroshi dressed the Air Jordan 35 in a familiar mix of black, blue and white. The striking branding on the subtly design shoe looks to reflect Hiroshi’s love of the Jumpman logo, which first appeared on the AJ3. The classic shoe is presented in a clean white and black color scheme with a bold fragment logo read through a translucent Jumpman heel tab. Taking on an understated approach with the lead footwear collaboration, the fragment design x Air Jordan 3 Retro SP serves as an ode to the 2004 Orca pack. The apparel range honors Hiroshi’s memories with distinct typography evocative of ’80s sportswear and graphics that transpose iconic frames of Micahel Jordan in action that recalls the heritage of the basketball line. I wanted to feel what the clothes looked like - the atmosphere and what it felt like to wear them then, including nylon tracksuits,” said Hiroshi. “I was looking at the vintage Jordan collections. Aside from a lineup of sneakers, is a line up of raglan fleece sweaters, T-shirts and nylon pants in home (grey) and away (blue) colors.
