A Black/Metallic Gold Air Jordan XXXI Low Drops Next Week

Amid all the outlandish colorways that release on sneakers nowadays, sometimes a nice subtle colorway is a breath of fresh air.

Gone are multicolored uppers and neon outsoles on this Air Jordan XXXI Low. Instead, it’s a straight black sneaker. The Flyweave/leather upper, Jumpman on the heel, midsole and outsole are all blacked out with the only hits of color coming in the form of a gold Jumpman in the insole and the metallic gold accent at the heel.

This particular colorway of the AJ XXXI Low seems to be the low cut equivalent of the AJ XXXI ‘Jordan Brand Classic East’ that was shown a few months ago. However, this pair does away with the white midsole, translucent outsole, gold Jumpman on the heel, and the shiny leather.

Performance-wise, these should be on-par with the previous iterations of the AJ XXXI Low because full-length Zoom Air is still in place. The only difference may be the traction — the translucent outsole has been replaced with solid rubber, so that should be an upgrade.
