AIR JORDAN 4 - UNIVERSITY BLUE | BELART

1. Two Toned Brown Appears On The Jordan 4 Bleu Nike Dunk Low In today’s world of high-volume sneaker sales and mass releases, it’s hard to discern culture from trend, but we assure you it still exists. A portion of it revolves around Michael Jordan’s legacy and although MJ’s brand aims to balloon its revenue further into the billions, the excitement and energy from the good ole days still remain. Part of the fun is reporting and experiencing these cultural episodes, and now Jordan Brand, through their new in-house blog, is telling it through their own lens in much more personal voice, with sporadic interviews with shoppers, inside looks at major Jordan 4 Bleu events, and closer interaction with the brand’s athletes and network of influencers and collaborators. You can visit their blog now on The name of Nina Chanel Abney is about to reach household status now that her project with Jordan Brand has been revealed. Introducing a reductive interpretation of the Air Jordan 2, the pop-surrealist artist gently crafted the upper of the shoes without compromising too much of its DNA, all while injected her own spin.

2. It now appears that an Air Jordan 2 Low is in the works, as revealed here through leaked images. Much like the high-top, her Air Jordan 2 Low features a deconstructed approach, but with a hunter green exterior heel and outsole. The familiar snakeskin textured exterior sits beneath the heel, while a smooth flat leather covers to he toe. A suede toe-guard completes the overall look. Release details aren’t known just yet, but we expect further details as well as an official brand announcement soon. We’re glad Nike is sticking to the classic two-toned Dunk look. This simple arrangement of colors is what made the Dunk such a prize in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and while we can appreciate the creativity behind the collaborations and colorway concepts, simple is indeed better. Up next for the Dunk Low is this pairing of Jordan 4 Bleu two shades of brown, achieving that two- toned contrast with ease. The base layer appears to have a micro-pebble texture similar to the recently released Dark Marina Blue Dunks, while the overlay has that tight suede. The Swoosh is a clean white leather, matching the laces and midsole. We can already see customizers approach this release with touches of pink and red to mimic that Stussy SB Dunk.
