As the latest hybrid design from Michael Jordan’s eponymous brand, the Air Jordan 1 Banned Birthday Cake continues the brand’s decades-old trend of mixing sportswear with lifestyle.
Recently, the fairly-novel silhouette appeared in a women’s-exclusive black, white, grey and pink ensemble. Most of the sneaker’s upper, which resembles that of many turn-of-the-century running shoes, indulges in a muted color palette that allows for even the slightest hit of pink near the vamp to revel in the spotlight. Midsole detailing around the forefoot also boasts the contrasting rose tone, helping the Air Max-cushioned proposition maintain some summer-ready flair. Semi-translucent tread rounds out the outfit underfoot, while also marrying traction patterns historically seen on the company’s running and basketball designs over the decades.
