Starbucks got nothing on Nike with their growing coffee Jordan lineup. If you were a big fan of the Mocha Jordans, you’re definitely gonna love the Latte rendition! While it makes more sense for a coffee-flavored Jordan to drop during a warm season, that’s not the case. Nike will actually drop the Jordan 1 Latte in a hotter season, or so we know so far. Definitely an iced latte at this point! Let’s get down to the coffeelicious details now and find out more about the release, shall we?
Jordan 1 Latte joins a lineup of coffee-inspired sneakers! It actually follows in the footsteps of the Dark Mocha and Jordan 1 Palomino, aka Mocha 2.0. You know, kinda like mocha with extra cream. The color palette and the Jordan 1’s iconic design make this a pretty neat release. And any Jordan 1 colorway is arguably a hit because the silhouette is a timeless masterpiece. But now it’s a coffee colorway… and who doesn’t love coffee?
The Jordan 1 Latte features a color blocking similar to 2020’s Dark Mocha AJ1 colorway, but lighter. This time, the kicks have a black leather upper with medium brown overlays and sail leather accents. The Nike Swoosh and Wings logos are both black and the midsole is sail with a yellowed tint for an aged look. A light coffee caramelized color drizzles all over the outsole.
So all in all, the kicks look like a decent pickup! The sneaker community, famous for its humor, couldn’t resist a bit of fun when the news broke though. Comments like ‘So, it’s basically mochas with extra milk?’ and playful remarks such as ‘Decaf mochas‘ are the vibe. But do we blame them?
Air Jordan 1 Latte will drop on May 29, 2024, with a retail price of $180. The Jordan 1 Mocha is currently selling for an average of $485 on secondary markets. Now we’re no fortune tellers, but the Lattes could potentially do as well as the Mochas! Oh, and did you know that this release will be a woman’s special? Sneakerhead ladies, Jordan Brand hears you!
In a world where sneaker releases are events, the Latte Jordan 1 could be a major one. The anticipation is palpable, and the sneaker world is ready for another caffeine rush. But let’s be real here, hot releases are like the morning coffee rush, busy as heck! In other words, you have to compete with many others to get these babies. So how can you get a leg up on the situation?
Your best shot at this is to buy the kicks at retail using a sneaker bot. Yes, Nike is encouraging sneaker lovers to use the SNKRS app and play it fair. They also pulled one hell of a stunt with the Travis Scott Golf release to prove a point. But this isn’t exactly fair for everyone now, is it? Despite Nike’s passionate efforts to restrict sneaker botting, there’s always an all-in-one bot that will slip through the cracks. NSB is one of those bots who got your back! So go on and get your copy today to up your sneaker shopping game. Godspeed!
