The Jordan brand keeps adding to it's stellar 2021 line up, and we will examine a colorful colorway in this article. Nike is covering bases with spring and summer themed releases.

The light fusion colorway is not as popular as other Jordan colorways, works really as summer themed release, thanks to the bright warm coloring.
Let's take a closer look at the Air Jordan 1 Light Fusion. The summery palette is a mixture of red and laser orange. Red colors the mudguard, eyelets, and heel, with white on perforated vamps, lace, and laterals. Laser orange swoosh adds warmth to the sneakers. The label on the tongue reminds us of the Jordan "Sunset" with its use of gradient, orange to red. The Jordan 35 "Sunset" used the effect on its midsoles. Black wings embosses the collar.
There is also black on the tongue's label and black on the outsole treading, with a white midsole. The Air Force 1 Light Fusion will be available for purchase June 21st via Nike SNKRS.
