abloh deconstructed the air jordan 1, the first shoe designed personally for michael jordan in 1984 by nike. the jordan brand is currently a subsidiary of nike, thus abloh was able to reconstruct the air jordan 1. the air jordan 1 can be found in many different colours but abloh decided to use the chicago colours that michael jordan played in, being white red and black. abloh completely took apart the shoe and readjusted the key elements and placed them around the shoe. abloh also designed an all-white europe exclusive version of the shoe. abloh later designed a light blue coloured edition of the shoe on june 23rd 2018, containing the traditional university of north carolina colours, a common colour used for air jordan shoes as it represents the university at which michael jordan attended. michael jordan, bella hadid, drake, naomi campbell, travis scott, odell beckham jr and chris brown were some of the celebrities who received personalised versions of this shoe before the global release. in june of 2019 images were released of a yellow version that had initially been designed by abloh but was never properly released and was confirmed as a sample.
