Air Jordan 1 Retro BHM

Black History Month sneaker releases have become a large part of the sneaker game thanks to releases like the Air Jordan 1 Retro 'BHM' in 2015. Over the years, BHM sneakers have evolved significantly, transitioning from the basic Air Force 1 with flag stitched into the heel to more sophisticated designs. The 2015 Black History Month collection showcases a simple black and white color scheme paired with Kente cloth-inspired graphics. The Jordan 1 BHM was part of a broader collection honoring six athletes and coaches who positively impacted sports: Theotis Beasley, Kevin-Prince Boateng, Jerry Rice, Brianna Rollins, C. Vivian Stringer, and John Thompson. Proceeds from the sale contributed to the Ever Higher Fund, raising awareness for the cause. Although the 2015 Air Jordan 1 Retro High BHM is more limited in availability than many realize, it did not achieve the same popularity as traditional Jordan 1 Retro colorways. The Air Jordan 1 Retro High 'BHM' features a black leather upper with a shiny finish, subtle brushstroke patterns, black and white designs on the toe box and inner lining, an embossed Wings logo at the ankle, waxed laces, Nike Air branding on the tongue, and a tonal wraparound Swoosh.
