atmos Turns a 30-Year-Old Air Jordan Into a Wearable Jade Jewel
No, this is not a Tiffany x Jordan collaboration. Instead, atmos is back dropping jade gems with Jumpman.
This time around, the brand's working on the Air Jordan 12, which turns 30 this year. The special-edition atmos pair lands with half black quilted leather and half jade green pebbled leather, marrying the shoe's signature construction with atmos' famous color scheme.
atmos has long tapped into its animal instincts with Nike, dropping some pretty iconic "Safari" sneakers featuring mixed animal-print designs. Typically, its jade-colored sneakers feature elephant prints.
So, where's the elephant print on the Jordan 12? It's there. It doesn't cover the uppers like atmos' previous Nike Air Maxes and LeBron 16 basketball shoes. The pattern's more hidden with the AJ12s, appearing on insoles and behind the translucent outsole. It's quite clean this way, too.
The "Jade" Jordan 12s are scheduled to drop exclusively on atmos Tokyo's website for¥31,900, or around $199. It'll be joined by collaborative clothes like split-tone Jumpman tees and hoodies.
