Earlier this week we gave you a look at the Jordan Brand World Basketball Festival City Pack that included the Air Jordan 1 and the Jordan Super.Fly. While each has been give its own style based on it city of inspiration, we offer you a closer look at the Nike Air Jordan 1 “Road To Gold” Las Vegas. Inspired by the black jackets, crisp white shirts, and red ties of early Las Vegas, the model features a mostly black upper that is balanced with a white toe box and heel. Once past the leather uppers, we see gold over the shoe’s ankle and tongue branding, leaving the heel as the sole black Jumpman. For the liner, Jordan Brand went with a paisley print, an obvious nod to those days of old.
