The “Elkin” Air Jordan 1 Low is a step away from the usual colorways Scott has dropped with Jordan Brand. For this new style, the “Elkin” draws inspiration from the colors of his alma mater which are white, blue, and yellow. According to Matt Welty’s Complex article highlighting the pair, the sneaker is a refreshing entry in “the greens, browns, tans, and mochas that fans can’t get enough of” from his usual releases with Jordan Brand.

The pair also has a close tie-in with the Air Jordan Laney 5s, which also draw inspiration from a high school, Michael Jordan’s alma mater Laney High School to be exact. Those lookiing to cop a pair of the Air Jordan Low 1 “Elkin” will have a chance when they release on May 25 for $150.
