Originally meant for the court, the Air features jordan 11 has become a streetwear staple. According to Tinker Hatfield, “We were looking at how we could extend the original performance basketball shoe into something that could further the design, but turn into a low top…I wasn’t interested in an exact replica of a XI in a low top;
I was more interested in doing a low top that was partly the features jordan XI, but fresher…I felt like [patent leather] was contrary to the summer feel…The shoe didn’t need to feel so stiff and heavy. For the summer, I wanted something that was lighter and easier to wear.”
These retro Air features jordan basketball sneakers are the ultimate fusion of style and comfort. The Air features jordan 11 Retro Low IE features elephant print leather with mesh vents and horizontal stitching on the upper. “I changed the pattern to put breathability in the right spots," said Hatfield. "Then, when you look at the different compositions, you want to fill in the gaps with something that could be decorative, like elephant print.
I thought about trying textures and stitching. The mesh said something about summer, and the stitching we did really artfully."
