J Balvin will debut his Air Jordan 1 collaboration during the Super Bowl LIV halftime performance with Jennifer Lopez and Shakira.

He becomes the first Latino artist to collaborate on the iconic silhouette, Balvin’s Air Jordan 1 features a vibrant tie-dye design on a layered canvas upper designed jagged edges, exposed foam tongues completed with a set of three velcro icons on the heel and Balvin’s Happy Face logo covering the tongue label of the left shoe. Black laces atop a clean White rubber sole completes the design.

UPDATE 11/19: Jordan Brand has confirmed that the J Balvin x Air Jordan 1 “Colores Y Vibras” releases globally December 8th on SNKRS and at select retailers.

Breaking barriers through music and self-expression, Colombian J Balvin delivers a special iteration of the Air Jordan I that’s direct from Medellín and meant for the whole world. In design, he brings intense “colores” and “vibras” (Spanish for “colors” and “vibes” — and the names of Balvin’s acclaimed 2020 and 2018 albums) to his Air Jordan 1 x J Balvin.

“I was thinking about how I could have a disruptive Air Jordan 1,” says Balvin, the first Latino artist to collaborate with Jordan Brand. “I wanted to be the person who really dared to change the shapes and go all out. No one has touched the Air Jordan 1 like this before.”

The Air Jordan 1 x J Balvin’s bold rainbow canvas upper has jagged-edge trimming and rounded-color wings that are meant to represent a cloud-like explosion — symbolizing Balvin’s source of energy. The artist’s smiley-face logo replaces the Jumpman logo on the left foot tongue tag, while pink, white and black laces and interchangeable patches (think a smiley face, a Jumpman, a basketball and lightning bolt) enable wearers to customize the shoe based off their mood and creative expression.
