Jordan unviels the future of the Jumpman brand with the Jordan Future, the latest basketball shoe from the sportswear cornerstone. Influence from the Jordan XI is immediately recognizable in the ribbed outsole colored with both an infrared and “glow” sole. These features are countered by an asymmetric wrap around the lacing at the upper, which looks almost wholly composed of a woven material. Suede hits accent the collar and the tongue of the shoe, adding a slightly casual edge.
Nike kicks off the releases from the Jordan vault this year with a new rendition of the Air Jordan III Retro. This eye-cathching look features a powder blue leather upper with tonal elephant print trim around the toe box and heel. Featuring accents in black, white, and grey for an overall clean approach to the iconic silhouette. Be on the lookout for these hitting the sheleves at Wish soon.
Our “A Night With Jordan Brand” event with Senior Global Design Director Jason Mayden and Director of Energy Footwear Gemo Wong that took place this past Friday night was not only a special night for us here at Wish, but also the city of Atlanta, and all of our supporters. Attendees got more than what they bargained for, as the night was not only about sneakers and fashion, but also about career goals, character building, and life lessons from the Jordan Brand Senior Directors. However, the night consisted of more than just presentations from Mayden and Wong, who after their talks were able to have one-on-one conversations with guests and even critique several creative portfolios. Perhaps the most fascinating part of the night came as ten raffle winners were selected to preview future Jordan Brand models and a select two had the priveledge of designing their own custom pair of Nike i.D. sneakers with Mayden and Wong. With drinks sponsored by Mountain Dew, the night also saw a one-of-a-kind limited sneaker collection by Tennesee native Joseph Privitte, a special appearance by rapper Killer Mike, and a custom pair of Wish Air Jordan 3 Retro Doernbechers.
