The Air Jordan 18.5 draws inspiration from the design of the Air Jordan 18, but with a notable change: the lace cover has been removed, allowing for a more exposed look at the laces and eyestay. The upper is constructed with white leather, featuring perforations on the medial side to increase breathability. The midsole maintains its original structure and offers a contrasting black color, which corresponds with the matching black tongue and sockliner. To enhance comfort, the inner lining of the shoe is made of velour textile. This unique combination of materials and colors creates a sleek and stylish aesthetic for the Air Jordan 18.5.
