The sneakers keep the integrity of the classic Jordan style while embracing the sunset hues inspired by J Balvin's "sanctuary" in Medellín, highlighted by "Solar Flare" and "Total Crimson." The sunset inspired colorway is contrasted with the stark black leather, helping to illustrate the "nightfall-inspired design." Accompanied with a signature emblem in the manner of a key ring, the sneakers come with specially designed box which reads: "A sunset always reminds me, a new day full of opportunity is coming."
