By the 2000s, the shoe had become a cult classic. Reissues throughout the early part of the century solidified its street status - and gave way to a dizzying array of makeups - on the way to becoming a subculture fashion staple. The momentum continued as the shoe hit 15, 20, 25 and carries on now at its 30th anniversary. Air Jordans are a line of signature basketball sneakers Air Jordan Shoes created by Nike subsidiary Jordan Brand. The first Air Jordan shoe, now known as the Jordan 1, released in 1985 after being debuted by Michael Jordan in the previous year.

For the kids-exclusive Concepts x Air Jordan 1 High KYRIE 6 Golden Mummy, the cycle of history manifests in a colorway that simultaneously pays homage to Concepts' founding in 1996 and the discovery of the Valley of Mummies an event that spurred a revival of interest in Egyptian history that same year. Like many classics, the Air Jordan 6 is primarily well known for its original colors. For Nike, these expressions include the Nike Air Force 1, the Nike Air Max 2090 and the Nike Air Deschutz. Now, with the introduction of the Nike Adapt Huarache, those traits are augmented by Nike FitAdapt technology, an intelligent platform that updates and evolves along with the user.

All that is a fundamental part of the game, but the origins of the Jordan Brand were about tapping into the time off the floor, the hangtime, the flight, says Chad Troyer, Jordan Brand Senior PLM. And in between - Jordan 1 during October, specifically - we can expect to see the shoe in a Winterized, Archaeo Brown setup. True to its namesake, the shoe features the above-mentioned brown across the majority of its upper. Seemingly inspired by the original Air Jordan 1's Royal ensemble from 1985, the upcoming retro opts for a two-tone arrangement across its leather upper. Toe boxes, profile swooshes and panels at the heel opt for the titular Mystic Navy tone that resembles the aforementioned blue color at quick glance. The sneakers originally retailed for $135 and was designed by Tinker Hatfield. Throughout the shoe's run, five color ways were released - white black aka Taxi, a white red, Obsidian, a black red Flu Game more on this later, and a black white Playoffs.
