Release History<\/h2>\n

1985<\/strong><\/p>\n image via Sneakerfiles<\/a>\n

The Air Jordan 1 \u201cBlack Toe\u201d is among one of the many original colorways of the AJ1. Very hard to find these days, the 1985 version features a leather build with Wings and Nike branding. The “Black Toe” makeup is distinguished by its unique interpretation of the Chicago color scheme.<\/p>\n

2007<\/strong><\/p>\n

After a 22 year wait, the Air Jordan 1 \u201cBlack Toe\u201d returned for the first time in the \u201cOld Love\/New Love\u201d Package. Paired with a Black\/Yellow colorway to represent Michael\u2019s new love of motorcycle racing, this version featured a midtop cut and Jumpman tongue tagging. The package price, additional colorway, and updated cut were enough for many fans to pass, even after such a long wait.<\/p>\n

2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

Covered in canvas, the \u201cBlack Toe\u201d colorway released again on the Air Jordan 1 KO in 2012. The pair dropped the same day as a Black\/Red version of the KOs, but the two shoes were not packaged together. High top cut made these closer to the OGs, but canvas composition and Jumpman branding was where they differed.<\/p>\n

Cultural Significance<\/h2>\n image via Cardboard Icons<\/a>\n

Though Michael Jordan sported the Air Jordan 1 \u201cBlack Toe\u201d on court, the model’s hardwood heritage is not quite as acclaimed as the other original makeups. The \u201cBlack Toes\u201d are celebrated more for their rarity and unique color blocking. Jordan showcased the \u201cBlack Toe\u201d colorway in an assortment of promotional images for the original Air Jordan 1 product launch.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Where You Can Get Them<\/h2>\n

The Air Jordan 1 \u201cBlack Toe\u201d<\/strong> will be available on May 25th at Foot Locker, Champs, Foot Action, and Nike Store locations, as well as their corresponding online sites. Due to odd allocations, the Air Jordan 1 \u201cBlack Toe\u201d will not be available at many boutiques that typically carry Jordan Brand product. Contact your nearest shoe store ahead of time for release specifics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
