Jumpman and Spider-Man have known each other for a long time, and now they come together once again with the Air Jordan 1 High OG ‘Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse’. A very special sneaker that has excited Marvel fans since last December and celebrates the highly anticipated release in cinemas of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

Inspiration

The sneaker, inspired by the legendary “Chicago” which was the first shoe of Michael Jordan when he started collaborating with Nike in ‘85, is constructed based on a white leather structure, contrasted by “University Red” overlays adorned with different materials, patterns, and textures. It is a clear reflection of the comic book panel style and the multi-dimensional theme of the animated film where we follow our main hero, Miles Morales, as he navigates the vast Spider-Man universe facing the trials and tribulations of his adolescence. The Nike Swoosh is made of patent leather, and the glossy finish extends to the collar and ankle. Here, you will also find the winged basketball emblem embellished with a psychedelic effect.

The First Time Between Jordan and Spider-Man

The first time the Jordan brand collaborated with the web-slinging character was for an exclusive back in 2018 when the Michael Jordan brand celebrated the debut of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse with the Air Jordan 1 High OG ‘Origin Story’. Overnight, hundreds of sneakerheads queued outside stores for the chance to snag a pair. Naturally, this crazy hype skyrocketed resale prices and many had to resign very early to purchase.

Expect the Air Jordan 1 High OG ‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’ to cause the same kind of frenzy as soon as it drops on May 20th. Available on Nike, on the Snkrs app, and at some selected retailers for 190 euros, the sneaker is already available on StockX. These are sneakers destined to fly off the shelves, there’s no doubt about it; one needs the speed of a true superhero.
