The late 1980s/early 1990s was the golden era for hightop hoops shoes. But although Mike was more of a Mid-to-Low man, it hasn’t stopped the brand from paying homage to the aesthetical era on more than one occasion. The Jordan Flight 45, though been missing from retails for five-or-so years, is the brand’s tribute to the period. Though it hints at previous Js without calling out to specific retros outside of the obvious Air Jordan 3 sole, its next colorway tackles two of the Air Jordan 11’s OG colorways (and its materials). The Jordan Flight 45 “Concord” delivers a colorway obviously inspired by the Eleven of the same name, with white mesh uppers, jet black patent leather toe, heel and mudguard overlays, and a sprinkling of Concord accents throughout. It’s sole unit, however, looks to Mike’s 1996 All-Star Game kicks, the Jordan 11 “Columbia” AKA “Legend Blue” through the installation of a semi-translucent aqua blue rubber outsole as seen on the sneaker’s 2014 retro release.
This Jordan Flight 45 “Concord” is but one of many expected colorways for the silhouette over the Fall/Winter, including the just-previewed and also retro-inspired “Bred” colorway, both of which are yet to receive an official release date. But with official images of the pairs arriving here today, you should expect to see a release occur in the very near future. Until such need lands, take a look at the Concord offering here below, and keep it locked on our official Twitter account for further updates.
