The Forget-me-nots x Jordan Air Ship PE SP From Bud To Flower Drops This Month

Published September 13, 2023

The Jordan Air Ship holds a special place in the rich tapestry of basketball sneakers. Worn by the legendary Michael Jordan before the world was introduced to the iconic Air Jordan 1, it silently vanished into the archives, only to be resurrected in 2020. As the model experiences its revival, collaborations are fueling its contemporary appeal. Notably, following the impactful renditions by A Ma Maniere and Corporate, Japanese retailer Forget-me-nots is paving the way with a women's exclusive, marking a new chapter for the Jordan Air Ship.

Drenched in the story of the forget-me-not flower, the collaboration, aptly named "From Bud To Flower," is an ode to nature's cycles. The shoe reflects the flower's journey from a pristine white to its vibrant full bloom, typically featuring blue and or purple shades. Some flower species will change colors after blooming, going from blue to purple. A crisp white leather upper is adorned with the silhouette, maintaining the classic appeal synonymous with the Air Ship. Contrasted with a grey suede Swoosh, the shoe follows the same route as inline releases like the “Tech Grey” colorway. The blue hue of the Nike Air branding on the heel tab mirrors the tone on the rubber outsole, reminiscent of the forget-me-not's bloom. Though not clearly seen, the teaser posted by Forget-me-nots showcases a blue tongue tag matching the other blue hues. The jagged-edge leather collar makes a bold statement, lending an edge to the design. It’s also unconfirmed at this time if there will be tearaway layers, as there isn’t any “rush fuchsia” visible even though it is listed as one of the official colors.

The Forget-me-nots x Jordan Air Ship PE SP From Bud To Flower W will released September 27th, 2023, through Forget-me-nots and select NBHD retailers online and in-store. Available in women's sizing, the retail price is set at $150.
