Nike’s penchant for texture is no more apparent than right now, as the footwear giant has begun to partner up with luxury jewelry labels like Swarovski to don its models an ever-crystalized make up. Bleeding that high-end ethos into a few of their general release offerings, Beaverton has begun to implement similar motifs, with this women’s Jordan 1 Mid being one of the first to receive the glamorous treatment. Most of the palette is kept a matte black — save for the subtle off-white outsole — but what excites intrigue is the glimmering glitter frosted texture plastered on the usual overlays. Each speckle bounces light in bold fashion, toning up what would otherwise be a more minimal piece of work. If you’re interested in grabbing a pair for yourself, they’re currently available on overseas with a stateside release on Nike.com and select retailers surely inbound.
