No athlete has embraced the in their professional career quite like Nigel Sylvester. The pro BMX rider has made Michael Jordans OG signature sneaker his go-to, almost exclusively lacing up in the AJ1 every time he hits the pedals. In recognition of his Jay appreciation — and impeccable talents, of course —  have whipped up a special AJ1 make-up dedicated to Sylvester, which they have just revealed in full.

The Sail coloured AJ1 features a pre-distressed upper that mimics the wear and tear typical of Sylvesters own pairs after being thrashed out on the streets. The distressing has been done by hand, and the overall look is reminiscent of from 2014, which featured paint-covered uppers that stripped back with wear to reveal OG AJ1 make-ups beneath. Its not clear whether Sylvesters design features the same hidden ability, but showed a completely different design that could easily be concealed beneath. Guess we'll need to put in the hard yards and find out for ourselves!

Other unique features of Sylvesters design include mini Swooshes on the toe boxes, reflective medial branding, and Jordan Biking Co., Est. 2017 printed on the inner lining as a nod to the year the project launched.

The Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 1 is slated for release in late August. Stay with us for the exact release date.
