Nike’s Textured Chocolate Jordan Has Us Feeling Peckish

Chocolate-covered Jordan? Yes, please. There’s something about a rich brown sneaker coming back into focus just as the weather starts turning that feels almost too perfectly timed.

The Air Jordan Skyline Low LE has clearly understood the assignment.

Nike has never been short of sneakers that want all the attention, but this one takes a quieter approach. The low-profile shape keeps things pretty clean, while the mix of creamy neutrals and deep chocolate brown gives it that slightly vintage feel that works particularly well once summer’s brighter colors start heading back into the wardrobe.

And honestly, brown sneakers are having a moment. They’ve spent long enough being treated as the sensible alternative to black before finally getting the attention they deserve. This one makes a particularly good case for them, with enough going on to feel interesting without trying too hard.

The Skyline Low also has that nice in-between quality where it doesn’t feel overly sporty or excessively retro. It’s recognizably Jordan, but there’s something a little more grown-up about it. Maybe it’s been sitting under the radar for a while, but with fall on the horizon, the timing feels pretty delicious.

Basically, if fall had a dessert menu, this would be worthy of seconds.
