The Air Jordan MTM project that President Barack Obama got the first pair of has finally been revealed.
The duo, unveiled by T Mag, features one pair of the Air Jordan 1 and one of the Air Jordan XX9, both of which trade materials. The classic Air Jordan 1 has a much more modern Flyweave upper, while the Air Jordan XX9 uses a traditional leather treatment. This isn't all that's coming from the Jordan MTM (that's Mark Parker, Tinker Hatfield, and Michael Jordan) project – Nike CEO Parker says that Jordan Brand is already working on a follow-up.
The Air Jordan MTM pack will release for $700 on June 13 at NikeLab P75 in Paris. The global release date for the Air Jordan MTM pack is June 26, when the sneakers will release online and at select Jordan retailers.
UPDATE 6/12: Jordan Brand has released a teaser video featuring the Jordan MTM. The clip references a June 27 release date, which contradicts the June 26 date mentioned by T Mag when it debuted the sneakers. NikeLab has also released some official images of the sneakers.
