Description
The Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG "David Letterman" edition was released as part of Jordan Brand’s series of iconic Air Jordan 1 sneakers. This specific colorway, though not officially called "David Letterman" by Nike, is inspired by Michael Jordan’s 1986 appearance on the Late Night with David Letterman show, where he discussed his early career and his then-new Air Jordan sneakers.
Key Details:
- Release Date: April 30, 2016.
- Colorway: Light Crimson/University Blue/Midnight Navy. The Light Crimson (a bright red) dominates the shoe’s upper, giving it a bold look that reflects the iconic red track suit Jordan wore on the David Letterman show.
-
Design:
- The upper is crafted with crimson leather combined with midnight navy accents on the tongue, laces, and the ankle collar.
- The white midsole contrasts with a university blue outsole, adding balance to the boldness of the crimson and navy.
- The shoe features the classic Nike Air branding on the tongue and a Jordan Wings logo on the ankle.
- OG Features: Like other Jordan 1 Retro OG releases, it stays true to the original design from 1985, including the iconic high-top cut, swoosh branding, and the heritage of the first Air Jordan signature shoe.
