Nike’s Glossy Air Jordan 1 Is Made to Match Your Mani
Nail art and sneaker culture don't interact very often—different worlds and that. But if there was ever a brand that could connect the two, it's Jordan.
The "Nails and Grails" Air Jordan 1 is a lacquered-up ode to glossy red manicures. And get this, the sneaker actually comes with actual nail charms. Matching your manicure to your sneakers? That's a commitment to flyness that can't be contested.
The sneaker's light pink leather base is accented with "University Red" paneling throughout, the Swoosh, which rounds out the glossy red tones that make the sneaker what it is. Nothing beats the feeling of a fresh red manicure, but the varnished drip of this Air Force 1 clocks in at a close second.
Metallic touches at the Wings logo match the manicure-themed metal charms so you can take your matchy-matchy nail and shoe moments up a notch or two.
The glue-on nail decor includes little sparkles, hearts and, of course, the Jupman logo.
Sure, there's no shortage of sweetened-up Air Jordan 1s out there. Just look at the chocolate-covered "Love Letter" sneaker: Wearable confections are an avenue Nike knows very well. Still, we've yet to see an Air Jordan 1 that also moonlights as a full set.
Who knew a glossed-up Air Jordan 1 sneaker could double as nailspo on the go?
