In a nod to a pivotal chapter in sports and sneaker history, the Nike Air Max 180 "Concord" is gearing up for a grand reissue in 2024.
A silhouette that transcends time, it holds a special place not only in the hearts of sneakerheads but also within the annals of Olympic lore.
Notably donned by Michael Jordan during his leisure time at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, the Air Max 180 "Concord" was a sideline staple for His Airness as the Dream Team captured imaginations worldwide. While the Air Jordan VII "Olympic" is indelibly linked to his on-court heroics, the "Concord" 180s remind the man of his broader relationship with Nike's pantheon of designs.
It’s a testament to the cross-pollination of performance and lifestyle that Jordan embraced; the "Concord" colorway has since become iconic, presaging even its association with later Air Jordan models. This Air Max 180 features crisp white uppers complemented by the eponymous Concord purple hues, with hits of gold bringing an Olympic-grade prestige.
Last seen in 2013, the sneaker world is abuzz with the news of its return. Collectors and enthusiasts who remember the pair's initial impact await eagerly, as do a new generation of fans keen to partake in this slice of sneaker and sporting history.
As we lead up to the 2024 return, we expect Nike to give these historical kicks the rollout they deserve, complete with storytelling that captures their significance. The "Concord" 180s will not just be a release; they will be a celebration—a chance to own a piece of the past that continues to influence the present.
Stay tuned as we await more details on the release, and prepare to step into a story woven by the feet of legends.
