Along with these comparisons and appreciations, fans are also criticizing the pair for their yellow Nike labeling on the tongue. They want it in red, white, or brown, but not in yellow. According to them, the yellow branding on the tongue tab is ruining the whole vibe of the pair.

Air Jordan 1 High OG " Palomino" will drop in men's sizes

Coming on September 16, the Air Jordan 1 High OG “Palomino” is a new colorway that will be part of the brand's Fall 2023 collection.

The new sneaker pair will come dressed in a four-color combination consisting of black, metallic gold, palomino, and sail. This particular pair of AJ 1s has a foundation made of black suede with brown leather overlays, along with metallic gold branding stitched into the nylon tongues.

The design is finished off with a black lining that sits on top of a sail midsole and then a brown outsole. In addition to the unique packaging, the sneakers will also have an additional pair of laces.

Today, AJ 1 continues to be a highly sought-after sneaker, with new colorways and collaborations constantly being released. Its popularity has only increased in recent years, with the sneaker's timeless design and cultural significance continuing to resonate with sneakerheads and fashion enthusiasts around the world.
