A Closer Look at the Air Jordan 31 "Rio"

Just in time for the 2016 Olympics.

This summer's global competition inspires a vibrant, gradient-laden iteration of the signature sneaker from Jordan Brand, giving us the "Rio" Air Jordan XXX1.

Paying tribute to where the Olympic Games are held this year, this Air Jordan 31 comes dressed in a Green Abyss and Ghost Green color scheme as a nod to Rio de Janeiro national colors. Looking closer we see Ghost Green Flyweave makes up the forefoot of the silhouette while gradually blending into the Green Abyss synthetic leather heel. Outfitting this performance powerhouse is Zoom Air cushioning done in White while resting atop a icy translucent sole unit.
