Obsidian is technically a navy but it behaves like black, and that is the whole trick of this makeup. In shadow the upper looks monochrome; in daylight the blue comes through, and the shoe turns out to be a color makeup after all.
White is used sparingly and precisely. The Swoosh across the quarter panel and the Wings logo at the collar are the only white elements on the upper, which leaves them doing all the graphic work against a very dark field. The Jumpman on the heel is stitched in Obsidian itself, so it registers as texture rather than as a logo. The Air cushioned sole underneath is white, drawing a bright line along the base of a dark shoe. It released in July 2017 at $110, on the standard Mid build.
