Two shoes are combined here. The base is the Air Jordan 1 in its mid height, and the additions come from the Air Jordan 10, which is where the quick lace loops on the tongue and the checkered print inside the lining originate. A translucent outsole finishes it underneath, another borrowing rather than an Air Jordan 1 trait.
The colors point somewhere else again. White, black and dark powder blue is the palette of the university Michael Jordan played for, and on a shoe this busy it acts as the steadying element, keeping the hybrid construction from becoming the only thing you see. It released in February 2014 at $130, part of a run of Retro '94 colorways that year, and it is one of the few Air Jordan 1 variants to change the lacing hardware.
