The wait is almost over. Jordan Brand’s rollout of the Air Jordan 31 featured both an international theme in honor of the Rio Olympics and an homage to the past given the inspiration behind the latest Jordan signature – the iconic Air Jordan 1. This Wednesday, August 10th, The Jordan XXX1 will debut in both a patriotic “USA” colorway and a “Brazil” look at select retailers.
The Jordan 31 is the third straight signature Jumpman model to champion a Flywave woven upper, but this time around, the contours of the silhouette are more lifestyle friendly than ever, taking design cues from the Air Jordan 1. You can find the similarities most notably on the ankle collar and tongue, but the colorways are what truly help this model stand out. The Air Jordan 31 “USA” utilizes a simple white base while accents of University Red and a Deep Royal Blue adds a clean finish.
The Jordan 31 “Brazil” has already released at select international retailers, but stateside availability is overdue. A vibrant touch of royal blue fades into a Volt-like gradient for a vibrant colorway in honor of the Olympics host country. Are you a fan of either colorway?
The Jordan XXX1 “USA” Olympic pair will release on August 10th for $185 USD. Stay updated on more Jordan release dates right here on Sneaker News.
