The Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 1 Low "Better With Time" (also known as "Nitro") is crafted to look even better as it gets older—here’s how it achieves that:
🕰 Built to Age Gracefully
• Pre-worn, vintage look: The black tumbled leather features intentional scuffs and wear marks on the toe and sides, giving it a lived-in feel right from the start—celebrating the concept of shoes improving with use .
• Classic Sail accents: The creamy sail midsole and Swoosh provide a timeless, aged aesthetic that continues to soften over time .
• Distressed outsole: Rather than a pristine sole, these come with a subtly worn wash to mimic real wear—making them feel genuine right away . Since the design kicks off with a pre-aged look, regular wear enhances its appeal instead of appearing as damage. As the leather becomes softer and the midsoles gather real marks, the overall appearance turns more unique and authentic.
If you love sneakers that change and narrate a story, these are just right. They embrace a journey where wear and tear adds to the allure. Plus, with Nigel’s BMX influence integrated into the design, they feel truly genuine. If you’re all about clean, flawless sneakers, this might not be your cup of tea—it’s designed to flaunt its age with pride.
