Nike has finally released the inspiration and release details of the Air Jordan Retro 1 ‘Family Forever.’ The colors and materials of the sneaker were actually hand chosen by Michael Jordan’s three adult children, Jeffrey, Marcus & Jasmine – all for Father’s Day. The sneaker has interesting materials with a denim upper, leather tongue and waxed laces. There also are unique details to the sneaker including the insoles that show the Jordan’s 2-3 gate doors (not pictured below.)
The ‘Family Forever’ Jordan 1 will be an “OG” release with Nike Air on the tongue, but surprisingly will cost less ($120) than previous OG models (typically $140.) Let us know in the comments if you’ll be picking up a pair this upcoming Saturday.

JORDAN 1 RETRO HIGH OG ‘FAMILY FOREVER’
LAUNCH: SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 2014 – 8:00 AM EDTDropping just before Father’s Day, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG ‘Family Forever’ would make any dad proud. Leather panels accent the predominantly denim upper, while three lace eyelets with three different colors—blue, red and yellow—provide distinct pop. A classic white midsole sits atop a dark powder blue outsole, and an inspirational quote is printed on the tongue:
FAMILY FOREVER
If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome.6 months ago Jeffrey, Marcus, and Jasmine Jordan approached the footwear designers at the Jordan brand to discuss the ultimate Father’s Day gift. What they created together is now a celebration of the little moments between father and family.
Also available in Kid’s sizing:

I really like this, a little of beat, something different.
