Jordan Brand is most well known for their retros!

Jordan Brand is most well known for their retros but lately it's been very apparent that they've been up to something and that something is the brand new Jordan Delta sneakers now

I have to be cleared the name of these sneakers is just Jordan Delta clean and simple the Jordan Brand designer called it the Jordan Delta react in his interview with complex

but some reviewers have also been calling it various other names but as far as I've seen on nike.com these are just called the Jordan Delta there was a special colorway that dropped at launch

that was called the Jordan Delta SP and that was the sale colorway which was a special edition made up of transparent TPU overlays across the upper a cork insole and an overall deconstructed

aesthetic that looked very virgil of white ish that was actually the colorway that got me interested in this shoe but unfortunately they weirdly sold out immediately unlike his sneakers as soon

as they dropped here so I couldn't get them the next colorway that dropped was the West Sheraton that actually got a bit of hype because it looks so similar to the Tom Saks Mars yard collab

I actually really wanted a colorway but I didn't cop it because I felt like as fire as I color we looked it would be a little hard for me to pull off then there was the Jade or a colorway that

blended hues of jade green into the upper again a gorgeous colorway but not one that I think I could pull off so instead I went with this the very boring but very easy to style black colorway

of the Jordan Delta alright so now that we have the name confusion and the colorways I wrote away let's talk about the shoe itself the Jordan Delta retails at about $150 in the US and is an all

new lifestyle silhouette that seems to be created by the 23 engineered program started by Jordan in 2018 we've seen silhouettes like the Jordan proto react and the aerospace 720 come out of this

program there's actually a lot to love about this shoe even though there doesn't seem to be too much hype around them there's the ultra plush but responsive nike react cushioning with

an upward that eventually shapes to the wearer's foot over time and it also comes in design that i think i actually subtle but fire at the same time honestly everything about this shoe

is actually really subtle even the box has this retro but subtle black and cardboard design with the Jumpman 23 branding at the top coming to the shoe itself and starting with the tech craft

upper it's made out of a mix of different lightweight materials there's some suede around and be the and there's even this vovan ripstop as well the toe box area is mainly made out of their

lightweight breathable mesh with this tiny reflective 3m wheeled here and then surrounding the mesh the natural suede overlays and as you go upwards towards the tongue you will see hits of exposed

stitching along the way with the black laces going through webbed lace loops with a really retro but nicely padded tongue towards the top of the tongue you will see the tongue loop with the

experimental triple 0:23 logo here underneath that you'll see the modern linear Air Jordan logo with the Jumpman logo and the number 23 all printed at the top of the tongue these branding

hits are a little more subtle on the black colorway versus the other colorways of a Jordan Delta

around the edges of the tongue you also have the exposed form which again seems inspired by that Vergil aesthetic which is something.
