Based on the same tooling as the “White Cement Reimagined” iteration, the upper is constructed out of off-white leather, with the iconic elephant print also formed from sail hues. Just like the recent Air Jordan 1 High x UNION LA x Bephie’s Beauty Supply collaboration, the panel edges and bottom eyelets are subtly painted in yellow, complementing the sunset hues on the rear and Jumpman on the tongue. Of course, all eyes are drawn towards the sunset detailing on the heel and midsole, reflecting the many shades that Balvin captured in his photo of the Medellín skyline. From a bright orange all the way down to a deep purple, the gradient is certainly one of the most pleasing that has graced the Air Jordan lineup. Fans of the AJ3 will also be happy to see the return of the “Nike Air” branding, while the right depicts Balvin’s signature smiley face logo with thunderbolt eyes, which unfortunately has nothing to do with the legendary fragment design moniker.
