Things kicked off today, really, with the Kobe 11 Last Emperor, before the hoops-turned-lifestyle heat ramps up tomorrow with the University Blue Foam One.

OK, maybe the Air Jordan 2 Alternate.If not though, here’s the other frontrunner for best-of-the-week: the Air Jordan 1 KO Shadow.

(The Air Jordan 4 and 5 Low preceded this one.)Solid-black cloaks the Air Jordan 2’s all-leather upper, with snakeskin-embossing on the quarter panel affording the shoe a luxe, almost designer look. Vibrant pops of red sharply contrast on the accents meanwhile, reconcling the palette with that of Michael Jordan’s Bulls.

This weekend’s Air Jordan 1 KO Shadow, with its allusions to another iconic shoe, will only help that reputation.
The new AJKO colorway taps the original Air Jordan 1 High Shadow for inspiration, rocking the same predominantly black upper and grey accents, simply executed in leather-trimmed canvas.
