One of the most prolific BMXers of all time, Nigel Sylvester, just dropped what many will argue is the sneaker of the year with his first collaboration on the Air Jordan 4 in the Brick by Brick colorway. However, the Nigel and Jordan Brand duo have more up their sleeve as Sylvester’s Air Jordan 1 Retro High PE from 2022 is finally getting a public release… albeit in low-top form.
If the pair looks familiar, it’s because you’ve seen Nigel apply similar details to his original collaboration with Jordan Brand on the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG from 2018. Worn-in and scuffed paneling near the toe mimics the scuffs found on Nigel’s pairs of Jordans. Specifically, the wear from his pair of Jordan 1 High Shadows was recreated, with the scuffs and imperfections resulting from the fact that Nigel doesn’t use brakes on his bike.
