Jordan Brand is taking its mandate of sustainability to brand new heights.

Sneaker companies like Jordan Brand have been preaching about sustainability for quite some time now. Of course, we live in a society that has proven itself to be quite wasteful, and now, big companies are trying to change that. For instance, Nike recently unveiled a sneaker collection made with scrap materials. Jordan Brand seems to be taking a cue from Nike as they are rumored to be dropping a sustainable sneaker of their own.

According to @zsneakerheadz, Jumpman is getting set to drop the Air Jordan 1 High Zoom that is made out of recycled materials. As you can see from the detailed images below, the shoe has a grey and black upper with some paint speckles on the midsole and outsole. These highlights lend themself well to the whole DIY aesthetic. Meanwhile, the actual texture of the shoe seems to be much different from what we are used to on the Air Jordan 1.
