Back at it again: Aleali May x Air Jordan 1 High OG “Viotech”
The Aleali May x Air Jordan 1 High OG “Viotech” brings back an impressive collab. They’d partnered a year ago on another banger. Thankfully, Jordan Brand and Aleali May are back to grace us once again.
The Air Jordan 1 gets an intriguing update here. The most prevalent aspect will be the color blocking. May’s eye for expressive shades shines through brightly. The back portion of the shoe is in a Bordeaux shade. Moving through the rest of the shoe are sections of “Armory Blue,” “Sunset Tint-Rush,” and “Red Light.”
The removable faux-fur tongues are going to stand out. They’re a detail that speaks to May’s eccentric stylings as a fashion veteran. Underneath that, premium cowhide laces finish this look off nicely.
This shoe’s aesthetics are legitimately unforgettable. Much like her previous release, May’s vision of classic Jumpman design stays with you. That makes sense when you consider who we’re dealing with here.
Aleali May is no slouch in the streetwear game. She’s spent her early years working with both Virgil Abloh and Don C. Essentially, she cut her teeth amongst Chicago fashion royalty. From that point on, it was all up-hill. May starts her own company shortly after. She focuses on styling big names in entertainment, highlighted by clients such as Lil Yachty.
Along the way, she’s developed into something of an icon. Jordan Brand tabs her for the second time – along with Maya Moore – for a special release.
The color-blocking and premium materials are extravagant. However, they really shouldn’t come as a surprise at this point. Aleali May has been crushing it for a few years now. For sneakerheads who don’t know, it’s about time you got familiar.
