This article is part 4 of 42 in the series: A Perfect Fit

The Air Jordan 1 Atmosphere is the latest retro of Michael Jordan’s classic silhouette. This particular colorway was first introduced to the public back in September during Jordan Brandā€™s Holiday 2021 collection unveiling, alongside other releases such as the Patent Bred 1s and Pine Green 3s. The colors on this latest Fall/Winter retro tend to be more prevalent in the spring and summer, making it somewhat difficult to find seasonally appropriate clothing to match the high-top sneaker. From hoodies to tees, StockX has just the right pieces to help you put together A Perfect Fit, regardless of the season.Ā Ā Ā Ā 

From previous retro releases, we know that Jordan Brand likes to tie in some of Michael Jordanā€™s past experiences and achievements with certain colorways. Whether it was 2012ā€™s Air Jordan 4 commemorating Jordanā€™s game-winning shot over Craig Ehlo and the Cleveland Cavs in 1989, or 2016ā€™s Air Jordan 1 Letterman that was inspired by MJā€™s jacket that he wore on his first Letterman Show appearance, many new Jordan colorways highlight moments from Jordan’s life. The Air Jordan 1 Atmosphere is another example of that, as this colorway was inspired by Michael Jordanā€™s love of chewing bubble gum while playing. Celebrating his love for the pink stuff, the Air Jordan 1 Atmosphere features glossy Laser Pink patent leather, while subtle dark Obsidian navy and white leathers bring contrast to the bright shade throughout the upper. To be even more tongue-in-cheek, the outsole of the right shoe has a pink blot, mimicking stepped-in gum. This flamboyant release can either be matched in boldness or paired with a more toned-down outfit. Whatever your flavor, you can be sure to find something to step out in these Jordan 1s.Ā Ā Ā Ā 

Jordan x Union Coaches Jacket

For those looking for something more conservative, this navy jacket from Jordan Brand and Union LA might be just your speed. When debuting their second Jordan collection in 2020, Los Angeles boutique, Union LA released this navy coaches jacket alongside a set of hoodies, pants, and of course, their uniquely designed Air Jordan 4. The coaches jacket features joint Air Jordan and Union details on both the front and back of the piece. Snap enclosures, spacer knit material, and cinched cuffs bring warmth to the wearer, making it suitable for breezier climates. Its simple design makes it a great pairing for the loud Jordan 1s, as it brings more attention to the standout kicks.

Supreme Emilio Pucci Box Logo Tee

Another subtle flex is this Supreme Box Logo collab with Italian fashion designer, Emilio Pucci. Pucci was well known for his signature kaleidoscope motif throughout his clothing, each featuring pastel shades of blue, pink, and green. Those colors make their way on Supremeā€™s Spring/Summer collection from this year, appearing on shorts, hats, and the very popular Box Logo. This Heather Grey version was one of nine different Box Logo designs. Prominent hits of Dusty Pink match the blue and green that appear on the Box Logo and the pink featured on the Atmosphere 1s. Although the tee may seem simple in its design to the average onlooker, the classic Box Logo is enough of a statement piece to make those that know do a double-take.

Kith x Advisory Board Crystals Holograph Hoodie

If youā€™re looking for another hoodie to add to your winter rotation, this collaborative fleece from Kith and Advisory Board Crystals may be worth collecting. Back in 2020, the two streetwear powerhouses released a capsule of variously dyed hoodies. Every piece per colorway underwent a one-of-one dying process, making each hoodie unique. Boasting abc and Kith logos throughout, this Storm Dye hoodie has an almost marbled look to it, as shades of blue, grey, and light purple are present as a result of the dye. The dark hue of the hoodie will match well with the Jordan 1s, bringing out both the blue and light pink from the garment and the shoes.Ā 

 

Palace x Evisu 2008 Classic Daicock Denim Jeans

Producing some of the best denim products in the world, Evisu has been using traditional, labor-intensive methods to create jeans, jackets, and other denim products since 1991. Since their creation, the streetwear community has regarded the clothier as one of the most desired denim brands, for their durable construction and their signature Daicock logo. In 2021, further securing their space within streetwear fashion, Palace collaborated with Evisu on a Fall/Winter collection. And just like the AJ1 Atmosphere, it featured a surprisingly large amount of brightly colored pieces despite the season. For those that like their jeans a bit baggier, the Classic 2008 Daicock jeans are constructed from relaxed selvedge denim. Its Indigo Mid Wash color will naturally fade with every wear, as is the nature of Japanese denim.Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā 

Rolex Datejust 126200

This probably wonā€™t make its way to most fits but for those looking to add a more luxe touch to these Air Jordan 1s, look no further than the Rolex Datejust in blue. The Datejust is one of Rolexā€™s most revered timepieces from the Swiss brand. Its timeless design makes it an easy companion for any outfit or activity, as its minimalist look can be dressed up or down in any way seen appropriate. The burst blue dial brings some added color to the majority white gold watch. Even though it comes with a large price tag, you can feel confident knowing that youā€™re purchasing a piece of jewelry that will serve you for generations to come.
