Royal Blue Suede Jordans? Really? 🥴
Another pair of the Jordan Reimagined series has appeared, but these are fully suede. I know people won't be thrilled here, as Jordan had a chance to give us another fire pair of the throwback high tops. What do you think, would you rock these? Take a look 👇 (2 min read)
Air Jordan 1 “Royal Reimagined”
First look at the Jordan 1 Royal Reimagined and I know people are going to be mad AF. Jordan brand really only had one job with these, and that was to make a nice black and blue leather shoe. Instead, we are given this suede treatment that frankly I do not like 🤢

Now don’t get it twisted, I love all suede high tops. The Nike SB Dunk highs that came out in all suede during the early aughts are some of the greatest shoes of all time. These are two of my favorites 👑
But these, idk fam, these just aren’t it because Jordan knew exactly what we wanted but still missed the mark completely. Instead of following the aged looked of others in the “Reimagined” series like the Lost & Founds or White Cements, we get a full suede construction 😕

I understand that the royals re-released a few years back in leather, and maybe they don’t want to keep re-releasing the same shoe without at least adding a few minor tweaks. But I feel like they just want us to buy these suede joints knowing that in a few years when they make the all leather pair, we’ll just buy them again 😏
Would you rock these? |
