The Air Jordan 1 “Meant to Fly” is the special youth sizing of the shoe inspired by one of Michael Jordan’s earliest Nike video advertisements. With jet engine sounds playing in the background, Jordan, then a young rookie in the NBA, soars through the air en route to a resounding slam dunk. Using the black, red, and white outfit—and “Bred” Air Jordan 1s Jordan wore during the shoot—as inspiration behind this Air Jordan 1. The upper features a premium leather construction with a white mid-panel and perforated toe contrasting against the black leather overlays. Red outlining breaks up each panel of the upper and a tonal Wings logo appears on the collar. The quote “Who said man was not meant to fly” appears on both insoles. Jordan Brand opts to include bold red laces to compliment the red accenting of the shoe. Release date: November 29, 2019.
