Teyana Taylor x Air Jordan 1 High Zoom CMFT 2 SP “A Rose From Harlem” edition will feature the label's logo with thorns
The renowned Air Jordan 1 model has undergone multiple variations thanks to the partnership between Michael Jordan and Nike. The Jordan brand, known for creating the most illustrious sneaker pedigree, has identified technological advances as one of its top targets for 2023.
The business is paying more attention to the original AJ1 design as well as its iterations as its 40th anniversary approaches. One of the most modern and avant-garde sneaker designs from the lineup, the Air Jordan 1 Zoom CMFT, debuted in 2020.
The second version of the CMFT line, known as the Air Jordan 1 Zoom CMFT 2, will be reinterpreted by Teyana Taylor and this partnership iteration will be dubbed “A Rose Of Harlem.”
The illustrious Air Jordan 1 shoe's history is detailed on the NBA's star-owned Jordan Brand website as:
“It could be said that Michael Jordan was the genesis of basketball as we know it today. Throughout a fiery and storied career, the tireless MJ overcame his hurdles, soaring above challenge after challenge to realize the unexpected. Along the way, he redefined basketball's relationship to style, the sport's connection to youth counter-culture and the game's creative potential.”
The description further continues as:
“Like Jordan himself, his eponymous footwear arrived with a bang, sharing its namesake's tradition-breaking bravado.”
The new "A Rose From Harlem" colorblocking will feature a gym red, black, summit white, earth, and coconut milk colorway. The right shoe features a green Swoosh with protruding thorns. On the left is a lengthy, enormous black Swoosh with apparent zig-zag stitching.
The interior of the ankle flaps is printed with the words "A Rose From Harlem," and the top eyelets have gold hardware. The Nike Swoosh logo with thorns on the right plus "TEY" emblazoned on the left make up the custom printed tongue tags.
