This is one of a group of Air Jordan 1 makeups built around NBA team colors, and the reference here is Boston. White leather forms the base, Clover green takes the overlays, and metallic gold is used on the Swoosh, the inner lining and the Wings logo at the ankle.
The detail worth looking for is in the green panels themselves, which carry a texture meant to recall the parquet of the old Boston Garden floor. Michael Jordan scored 63 points in that building during the 1986 playoffs, still the most any player has managed in a playoff game, which is what ties the shoe to the city rather than to the team. It released in April 2013 at $140 on the Retro High OG build, with Nike Air branding on the tongue and insoles instead of a Jumpman.
