After the release of the Billie Eilish x Air Jordan 1 WMNS KO, the Air Jordan 1 KO “Syracuse” is scheduled to make its debut next week as more images of the style are unveiled. Draped in the University of Syracuse’s signature colors of orange and white, the model is defined by its signature canvas construction alongside leather accents to comprise its distinctive casual flair. Finally, Nike-branded tongue labels and the classic wings logo across its ankles round out the profile.
UPDATE: 7/23 – After an early release overseas, the Air Jordan 1 KO “Syracuse” is now slated to debut stateside on August 5, according to SNKRS. Overall, this style was introduced back in 1985-86 which was unveiled with the classic Air Jordan 1 KO “Chicago”. While the sneaker’s true origins are still unconfirmed, reports suggest that the “KO” marking is referenced to a “knock-off” or essentially an affordable iteration of the Air Jordan 1 High with its simplified profile via a canvas construction and a slightly higher cut. Nevertheless, its lifestyle makeup has since maintained its modern appeal till this day.
