The Legend of the Lost Kicks: Air Jordan 1 Colette

The Legend of the Lost Kicks: Air Jordan 1 Colette

After 20 years in business, Parisian boutique Colette closed its doors for good in 2017. The shuttering was met with an outpour of tributes from designers and customers alike, including a special gift from Jordan brand.

The brand revealed a look at an Air Jordan 1 High that pays homage to Colette's legacy. With an overall look reminiscent of the "Storm Blue" Jordan 1, this Colette version includes the store's signature two-dot logo and references to its 1997 opening and 2017 closure. A clear outsole includes the phrase "au revoiur," finishing off a fitting farewell for the groundbreaking retailer.

Originally created only for employees of the store and never released at retail, is counted among the rarest Nike Air Jordan colourways ever made.

Can you think of the one design that got away?
