Jordan Brand 2013 “Year of the Snake” Footwear Collection

In celebration of 2013 as the Year of the Snake on the Chinese lunar calendar, the Jordan Brand will introduce YOTS versions of the MELO M9 and Air Jordan 1 High. Drawing inspirational cues from a snake’s sixth sense-like ability to detect body temperature and environmental changes in its prey, the exteriors of the sneakers have rich colors and materials – with the Air Jordan 1 High YOTS using a gradient outsole and upper featuring both suede and patent leather with distinct colors to symbolize the effects of temperature change. Both shoes share rich color palettes that include blacken blue/bright citrus/hyper red/raspberry red/deep royal blue and volt and will retail as a cohesive pack for $280 USD.
