Air Jordan 1 High OG x V.A.A. – The Legacy of a Legend

The Air Jordan 1 High OG x V.A.A. is far more than just a sneaker release; it is a curated homage to the deconstructed aesthetic that forever changed the sneaker world. Under the patronage of the Virgil Abloh Archive, this shoe continues the vision of making design processes visible and radically reinterpreting familiar forms.

Design Philosophy: Visible History

Following the iconic "The Ten" heritage, the V.A.A. edition uses elements that celebrate the shoe's creation process. Every detail looks like a prototype brought directly from the design studio to the street.

-Deconstructed Aesthetic: Open foam edges on the tongue and collar, as well as exposed seams, give the shoe a raw, industrial look.

-Ghost Branding: The classic Wings logo is only hinted at here as a dotted perforation, underscoring the minimalist approach of the V.A.A. collection.

-Material Mix: A complex interplay of transparent textile, high-quality suede, and classic smooth leather in a clean, almost clinical color scheme.

Technical Details & Exclusivity

This release focuses on maximum authenticity to the original 1985 form, combined with modern accents:

-Swoosh Construction: A seemingly "floating" Swoosh, fixed only by prominent stitching.

-V.A.A. Typography: The characteristic typography is subtly found on the medial side and the laces ("SHOELACES") – a hallmark recognized worldwide.

-Sole: A slightly yellowed "vintage" midsole provides the necessary archive character.

Die Maße orientieren sich an gängigen deutschen/europäischen Konfektionsgrößen für Oberteile und können je nach Schnitt und Hersteller leicht abweichen.
