While commercially successful, most fusions are usually flops with collectors. When Jordan teamed up with Nike Sportswear for the AF1 fusions, although they were bought by many people, most sneakerheads stayed away. Here we have a new fusion, a mix of the
Air Jordan XI upper and
Air Max 1 sole. While these may suffer the same fate as previous mash-ups, they are still a solid shoe and may just become the "dirty little secret" of many a sneaker collector. These feature elephant print around the toebox and above the midsole as well as on the sole.
