First revealed during J Balvin’s Super Bowl Halftime performance earlier this year, we now have official release info on the Colombian artist’s special iteration of the Air Jordan 1.
Balvin, known for always bringing “colores” and “vibras” (Spanish for “colors” and “vibes” — and the names of Balvin’s 2020 and 2018 albums), does so on the Air Jordan 1 by giving it a bold rainbow canvas upper with jagged-edge trimming and rounded wings around the ankle that are meant to represent a cloud-like explosion, symbolizing Balvin’s source of energy. The first Latino artist to collaborate with Jordan Brand also offers wearers to utilize their own creative expression with customization options: laces come in pink, white, and black, and interchangeable heel patches that include a smiley face, Jumpman, basketball, and lightning bolt.
“I was thinking about how I could have a disruptive Air Jordan I,” says Balvin. “I wanted to be the person who really dared to change the shapes and go all out. No one has touched the Air Jordan I like this before.”
