Jordan Air Ship SP x Opium
Black and Court Purple
The stories we own shape our future. They become part of our journey, giving us purpose and meaning in everything we do. The Air Ship and MJ's origins will forever be connected as the shoe he wore on the proving grounds of his professional career—from explosive potential to actualised greatness. The shoe before the 1. This collab between Jordan and Opium honours another story from roots to legacy.
For the first time, Jordan Brand teams up with the legendary Parisian boutique Opium to tell their unique story through a limited-edition product. The design speaks to Opium's Moroccan roots—the story before the store. Creative youth from the Moroccan diaspora, Opium founders Yace and Mounir bolstered their courage and chased their passions into a successful community-centric boutique and creative platform. Their goal remains the same since the store's 2001 opening: to extend streetwear culture into the French landscape and inspire the youth to bring bold ideas to move the culture forwards.
Designed in Châtelet, this special-edition Air Ship represents Opium's origins. You can find their signature stars and mosaic design throughout the shoe, which connects back to Yace and Mounir's roots. The mosaic pattern was created at Opium's in-house studio, and draws inspiration from traditional zellige—a decorative glazed tile handcrafted in Morocco. The premium-leather construction balances a Sail upper with black and Court Purple overlays and baby blue accents. For "une touche finale spéciale", it features tear-away Swoosh logos that reveal the same intricate mosaic pattern. Bonus: A Flight Club key ring and matching silk wrap are included.
