MJ’s undeniable competitive spirit has long been a major talking point in the sports world, so much, in fact, that it’s become more of a meme than a mentality anyone can go out on the court and mimic. This same sense of cutthroat ambition trickles down to His Airness’s presence on the golf course, and the Air Jordan I High G is a wearable example of it.
This country club-approved spin on one of the most well-known sneakers ever sticks to the script, featuring the inimitable Wings logo and Air cushioning compound that helped make the original Js so iconic to begin with. This also includes the genuine leather construction and classic color-blocking pattern, which comes delivered here in a Panda-adjacent palette of black-and-white. However, what sets the new release apart from the typical silhouette and deems it more akin to Jordan Brand’s golf line is its high-traction outsole. Taking elements and full-on inspiration from the original design, the I High G is bolstered with a rubber-integrated pattern and forefoot pivot circle to provide maximized grip when you’re out on the field.
Having seen golf-minded iterations of similarly classic kicks like the Air Jordan 5 and Air Jordan 6 Low, among countless others, it’s no surprise to see the pair that started it all get thrown right back into the mix. Best of all, Nike even offers a year-long waterproof warranty on these hybrid sneakers, ensuring the performance giant has your back in case you head to the course before checking your local forecast. Plus, it even comes with an extra set of laces in case you want to swap out colors or one of them falls apart.
Step up your swing game like a (six-time) champ — and a Finals MVP. Pick up the Air Jordan I High G golf shoes on Nike’s webshop today for $180.
