Air Jordan 5 – “Shanghai Shen”

Posted: 24 Sep 2013 12:00 AM PDT

air jordan 5 shanghai shen 136027 089 13 Air Jordan 5   Shanghai Shen

Erroneously linked at first as a tribute to Michael Jordan old Emsley A. Laney High School, the 5 “Shanghai Shen” actually celebrates Shanghai’s unique standing. Known to many as the “Pearl of the Orient” or “Paris of the East,” this vibrant coast city also went by an older designation of “Shen,” one which prominently displayed in yellow on AJ5′s lateral side. In reference to the city itself, where modernity seamlessly intersects with traditions, Jordan Brand designers actualized the concept by keeping the upper in the classic black nubuck, while adding a splash of non-conventionalism in the forms of teal light blue and bold yellow to the shoe’s midsole. Elaborating on symbolism once again, the color blue represents Shanghai’s dependance on water as a port city. Yellow, in the meantime, signifies Huangpu District and the culturally important Luwan neighborhood within it.

Known locally as the Air Jordan 5 “Shen,” the Air Jordan 5 “Shanghai Shen,” like the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG XQ "Xi Qing," comes with a set of matching “AJ5″ graphic tees. Set to be available first via select retailers across China and www.nikestore.com.cn in the coming weeks.

invincible x converse first string jack purcell johnny 01 570x450 INVINCIBLE x CONVERSE First String Jack Purcell Johnny

 

The result of 3 different leathers and a year-long designing process, this new INVINCIBLE x CONVERSE First String Jack Purcell Johnny is also the first collaboration between ’s First String premium sub-brand and a Taiwan-based label. Lavished with premium goat leather, cross stripes of soft Nappa leather on the shoe’s upper helped to form a mosaic appearance. For a distinct contrast, designers added bold leopard pattern leather as heel panel and insole lining, while a zipper ease the put-on, take-off process. Like all other Jack Purcell, white soles and toecaps etched with the Jack Purcell‘s “smiling line” in tonal white serve as one of the collaboration’s signature features. Imprinted with the logo on the cup sole’s exterior, the x Jack Purcell Johnny comes with matching white and black leather laces. Packaged with a tote and shoebox lined with leopard pattern print, the shoe, like all other editions, will be part of a limited collection.

In a statement, Jimmy Wu, founder of INVINCIBLE, stated, “I am really proud and excited to be the first brand in Taiwan to work with CONVERSE. From the beginning, we wanted to make a pair of CONVERSE, which represented our style. The Jack Purcell collection, created in 1935 came first to mind. Its independence and the low-profiled luxury concept is synonymous with the philosophy of INVINCIBLE. The "Jack Purcell Johnny" silhouette was launched especially to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the birth of Jack Purcell, and it's going to fit any style.”

The INVINCIBLE x CONVERSE First String Jack Purcell Johnny will go on sale starting this Saturday, September 28th, through INVINCIBLE’s original flagship store in Taipei City’s trendy East District East Store with a retail price of NT$ 3,680 (or ~$125 USD). The collaboration will also be available worldwide on following Friday, October 4th, via boutiques like BODEGA, colette, Dover Street Market, Foot Patrol, Patta, SURRENDER and others.

Along with this Boba Fett/Jango Fett BE@RBRICK two-pack, MEDICOM TOY is set to release a second pack made up of a Clone Trooper and everyone’s favorite wizened Jedi master. And while the aforementioned father/son Fett duo makes all the sense in the world, we’re not sure why Yoda has been paired with a foot soldier of the Grand Army of the Republic. (As fanatics know, the Clone Trooper could have been paired with Jango Fett as well, seeing as how the bounty hunter was used as the model to genetically manufacture the clone army.) Measuring just under 3 inches tall, the figures are available from project 1/6.
