The Air Jordan 1 Low OG ‘Garden’

The Air Jordan 1 Low OG ‘Garden’  

Releasing September 26 at Shoe Palace stores and on shoepalace.com is the Air Jordan 1 Low OG ‘Garden.’ It celebrates Michael Jordan’s final game at Madison Square Garden during the 1997-1998 season.  

Knicks 

Michael Jordan was notoriously motivated when it came time to play the New York Knicks. He crushed the championship aspirations of the Patrick Ewing era Knickerbockers many times. The Bulls during Jordan’s tenure faced off against the Knicks 5 times in the playoffs—Chicago won all 5 of those matchups. The Knicks were able to defeat Chicago in the 1994 playoffs—but Jordan was playing baseball during that series. The Knicks utilized a similar tactic to the one the Detroit Pistons employed against MJ—they played physically. So physical that their conduct could almost be labeled as “dirty.” Former Knicks’ players like Charles Oakley, John Starks and Patrick Ewing did everything they could to frustrate and intimidate the Bulls. Whether it was because of it being the Big Apple, or the fact that it was one of the league’s most celebrated franchises, Jordan always seemed to enjoy thrashing New York. NY brought out the best in Mike and some of his most iconic moments happened against the Knicks.  

Low  

The Air Jordan 1 Low originally came out in 1985. Two OG colors released, White/Metallic Blue and White/Natural Gray. The 1 Low used a blend of leather and synthetic materials in the upper. The advantage of the 1, compared to the High, is how easy it is to wear. It is a more comfortable shoe for everyday use than the High. Currently, it is one of the top casual shoes in the marketplace. A large variety of color schemes are available and are consistently releasing.

The shoe has a Summer White Upper and a Varsity Red and Black Flower graphic on the overlays. There are Metallic Gold outlines on the Nike Swoosh logos. Below the Nike Air branding is Knick’s blue and orange on the lace loop. The OG Wings logo is stitched into the heels in Metallic Gold. There are three sets of laces, black, blue, and orange. There is also a special edition box for the sneakers.
