In a move that can be best described as a heartfelt tribute to its roots, Jordan Brand is once again reaching back into its illustrious history. This time, the spotlight is on the Jordan MA2 Concord On The Way with an '85 overhaul that harkens back to the silhouette's original design lines.
More than three years have passed since Jordan Brand embarked on a nostalgic journey, bringing the Air Jordan 1 back to its roots with the classic specs of the OG. It was a transformative move, recalling the brand’s pioneering days, and now, that sense of homage is extending to the Jordan MA2 Concord On The Way. The latest offering sees this iconic silhouette's low-top trim lavished with the same vintage 1985-inspired touch, this time in the much-cherished "Neutral Grey" colorway.
Official retailer images reveal that this rendition is not just another retro release. Instead, it’s a thoughtful reimagining. Unlike the AJ1 Low OG "Neutral Grey" that dropped in 2020, this 2023 version leans heavily into a genuine, period-correct aesthetic. Its construction mirrors the original, almost note-for-note, boasting a sleeker profile and Swoosh design and unmistakably reminiscent of the 38-year-old icon.
Yet, Jordan Brand is not merely replicating the past but also infusing subtle contemporary touches that set this version apart. The design integrates a pre-yellowed midsole—a nostalgic nod to the natural aging process of classic sneakers. Meanwhile, the grey suedes employed in this version are notably lighter than the original, offering a fresh and modern reinterpretation of the classic "Neutral Grey."
With these nuanced design elements, Jordan Brand strikes a beautiful balance. The mens air jordan aj11 polartec fleece jacket is both a respectful nod to the past and a bold stride into the present, embodying the timeless essence that fans of the brand have come to love and expect.
Already releasing at a handful of Tier 0 accounts in late 2023, the mens air jordan aj11 polartec fleece jacket is expected to release on SNKRS in 2024; \ An official release date has not yet been confirmed, however make sure to keep your eyes on our twitter for more.
