Go low for the warm weather months with one of the most stylish low-top sneakers ever.

Getting creative with your style can be challenging when the temperature is nearing triple digits. But it isn’t impossible to get a clean ‘fit off in the heat. A simple tee paired with shorts that are matched with the Air Jordan 1 Low is a classic ensemble anyone can pull off in the soupiest of summer weather.
Why the Jordan 1 Low? It’s simple, really. The vintage basketball shoe’s streamlined profile and ties to the most popular athlete of all time, Michael Jordan, are just a couple of the reasons why the Jordan 1 Low is a perennial favorite for any season, but we think it’s even more perfect for the warmest months.
Besides, the Jordan 1 Low has been a favorite of Jordan Brand’s of late, too, as evidenced by all the colorways and collaborations the shoe has been released in and been a part of over the last few years. With so much variety, it’s easy to see why the Jordan 1 Low is a must for any great summer sneaker rotation.
If you want to achieve an effortless look as the one described above, we think these eight Air Jordan 1 Low options below are some of the very best colorways you could add to your rotation for the remainder of the summer, and beyond.
Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Reverse Mocha”
Sequels to anything, whether that be movies, music, or whatever, usually fail to generate the hype of their predecessors. But don’t tell that to Travis Scott. The hip-hop artist’s new Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Reverse Mocha” has created the same buzz in the sneaker community that his original Jordan 1 Low collaboration, the “Mocha,” did back in 2019. It’s no wonder: the modern “Reverse Mocha” is a flip on the OG’s color block.
Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Mystic Navy”
When it comes to the Air Jordan 1 Low, there are two distinctive silhouettes: the standard Jordan 1 Low, and the Jordan 1 Low OG, which is based on the original version of the shoe from 1985. Both models are great to us, but if you’re looking for a more vintage-inspired look, it’s hard to beat the Jordan 1 Low OG. We’re digging the “Mystic Navy” as a certified sleeper shoe for the summer.
Air Jordan 1 Low “Reverse Bred”
If something about the Air Jordan 1 Low “Reverse Bred” looks familiar, it’s probably because the colorway mirrors the color block of the Air Jordan 1 High ‘85 “Varsity Red,” a coveted shoe that’s based on the original Jordan 1 High from 1985.
Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Bleached Coral”
All Air Jordan 1 Lows are a good look for summer. But if you’re looking for a colorway to wear exclusively in the warm weather, look no further than the “Bleached Coral.” The shoe features a versatile color block and just enough pink accenting that makes it wearable on a daily basis.
Air Jordan 1 Low SE “True Blue”
Another one of those “Look familiar?” type of Air Jordan 1 Lows, the “True Blue” may be distinguishable to many because of its close resemblance to the Air Jordan 3 of the same nickname. Like the Jordan 3 it draws favorably from, the Jordan 1 Low “True Blue” features a white, grey, and blue color combination with plenty of elephant print patterning, a rare sight on the Jordan 1.
The Air Jordan 1 Low “Diamond” may look fairly simple in design from afar. But look closer and you’ll see unique diamond-style branding on the tongue tag inspired by the same Chicago Bulls shorts worn by Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Derrick Rose, Zack LaVine, and so many others over the years.
Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Starfish”
From the Air Jordan 1’s “Shattered Backboard” family tree, the Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Starfish” represents the first time the black, white, and orange color story inspired by Michael’s famous backboard-shattering dunk has appeared on the popular low-top silhouette.
Air Jordan 1 Low SE “Light Curry”
With fall looming on the not-so-distant horizon, it’s time to give a thought to the sneakers you can wear for the remainder of summer into autumn. Few are better equipped for both seasons like the Air Jordan 1 Low SE “Light Curry.”
