Capitalizing on this, Nike and Jordan Brand have continued to reinvent popular silhouettes and colorways for the sport. One of the most popular models to be featured in a golf-ready variant has been the Air Jordan 1. In both its high-top and low-top presentations, the Air Jordan 1 Golf has gone from taking on collaborations with Eastside Golf to revisiting the popular “Shattered Backboard” look.
