Basically following the same design concept that was executed in 2005, when the low-profile silhouette mimicked the look of the "Royal" Air Jordan 1, this modernized pair has chosen to pay its respects to the classic "Shadow" colorway. Matte black covers most of the shoe's leather and suede-built body, and is color-blocked with the recognizable shades of gray placed in identical areas, including the sock linings, laces, toe boxes, swooshes and soles.
