The up and coming Air Jordan 1 iteration transcended its purpose and ‘Defiant’ celebrates the music community who adopted it as its own—alternative rock. Featuring a DIY aesthetic, the red Swoosh treatment takes inspiration from a leather jacket’s stitching details and removable patches. Signature black and white leather on the upper and a contrasting yellow Swoosh salute to ’80s album colours and irreverent streetwear that defined alternative rock at the time.
