the air jordan alpha 1 is one of the sheos that nike no longer continually makes new rleeases of. Instead the alpha one bse model is only brought out now release or drop special alternate colorways or special editions shoes like the new air jodan alpha 1 tinker hatfield edition or a brand new all white air jordan alpha 1 that was released to celebrate the air jordans 25th anniversary. Nike has actually recently released an entire line of all white sneakers and this shoe was part of that line. The end result of the line is a pair of sick kicks. The specific pair in the air jordan alpha 1 section has a clear gum sole and is entirely white other then than. Personally I hate clear gum soles. I think they are the worst. As soon as you get the shoe, if it seas air or water or anything other then a cool dark box the clear gum turns to a nasty yellow. Im very careful with my kicks but even im not careful enough to care for clear gum stuff. If you have the ability and patience to deal with clear rubber on the sole of the shoe, then the brand new white air jordan alpha 1 may be the perfect shoe for you! Its not for me but I do like everything bout the shoe once its past the clear gum sole of it.
