The great David Letterman retired from the Late Show in 2015, but his legacy will live on in the myriad late night talk shows and talk show hosts he influenced over the last three decades. And also in the Air Jordan 1 High Letterman, releasing this spring.
You see, back in 1986, a 23-year-old Michael Jordan appeared on Late Night with David Letterman, sitting down with the iconic host for a fantastic interview (as most of Dave’s were) that ranged from basketball to golf to the Air Jordan 1 and the NBA banning MJ’s shoes. Come April, Jordan Brand will release a colorway of the Air Jordan 1 to commemorate that moment, but not the colorway that MJ brought to the show that day.
Instead, the Air Jordan 1 High Letterman features a bright red leather upper inspired by the tracksuit His Airness wore on Late Night, with dark navy accents and a white midsole bringing the contrast.
Today we get our first look at the long rumored shoe. Come April 30, you can grab a pair yourself.
