Marcus Jordan has been working closely with his father’s sneaker empire for years. He has used his abundant creative skills to design several top-selling sneakers, while also finding new ways to pay homage to Mike. However, a leaked Air Jordan 1 rumor became the focus of his conversation during a recent podcast conversation.
On the latest episode of the Sneaky Leak podcast, he revealed that Air Jordan 1 Lows are coming soon thanks to a partnership with the Orlando-based store Trophy Room, founded by Marcus himself.
Marcus claimed that when he creates, he always wants the narrative to be true to life and, by adding a twist, to somehow relate to his father. When he was questioned if there would be small sizes, he replied that it would be taken down to men’s size 4.
It will be available in Black/Sail/Metallic Gold color variants. Marcus also made an impression that the Jordan 1 Low might come in two colorways. The Trophy Room x Air Jordan 1 Low is predicted to drop on Feb. 15, 2024 as per Sneakerhead

Marcus Jordan hints at malpractice
The Trophy Room x Air Jordan 1, a shoe entangled in controversy and charges of retail swindle, is a style that has elicited such strong responses. Before they were officially released, someone posted pictures of the shoes on social media .

Marcus blamed it on burglars stealing them from a Nike distribution center. To add fuel to the fire, Jordan 1s hit the resale market in the weeks leading up to their official release.
Social media users started accusing Marcus of selling thousands of pairs early and profiting handsomely by reselling his own sneakers. Who do you think is to blame?
