Air Jordan 1 Low OG – "Dia de Muertos" (Day of the Dead)
Art, culture, and craftsmanship converge in one of the most visually complex and emotionally resonant Air Jordan 1s ever created — the Air Jordan 1 Low OG "Dia de Muertos". Inspired by Mexico’s beloved Day of the Dead celebration, this AJ1 Low is a patchwork masterpiece of earth-tone textures and materials, each panel telling its own story. Dark chocolate brown suede, tan burlap/jute weave, sage green canvas, cream smooth leather, and golden amber accents are stitched together with intentionally visible hand-stitching throughout — a wearable textile collage that honors the vibrant, heartfelt tradition of Dia de Muertos.
Key Features
- Toe Cap: Tan / camel burlap and jute-weave texture — a raw, organic material that anchors the earth-tone patchwork
- Lower Quarter: Dark chocolate brown suede on the lateral lower quarter — rich, matte, and deeply warm
- Midfoot Panel: Cream / sand smooth leather on the main midfoot panel — a clean canvas that ties the multi-material upper together
