Step inside the YankeeKicks closet and take a detailed look at Aleali May x Air Jordan 1 Zoom Comfort WMNS “Califia” released last month. Influencer, model, and fashion consultant Aleali May’s amazing sense of style graces the latest AJ 1 Zoom CMFT just for the ladies.

Using a similar colorway seen in her 2018 AJ 1 High, this May elevates the Jordan 1 Zoom CMFT with leather, chenille, and silky smooth satin. The name “Califia” itself refers to the fictional Black warrior queen of the island of California.

Pine Green coats the perforated leather tow box, heel counter, and star-studded rubber outsole below. Next, we see Green covering the satin underlays for the quarter panels that extend up to make the high-profile collar.

But wait, there’s more…

Meanwhile, Hyper Royal hits the tumbled leather overlays and matching preset laces ending in Golden aglets. The negative space in the quarter panel overlays creates the Nike Swoosh in a fun and inventive new way. Simple Sail rounds out the colorway, appearing on the leather tongue featuring Aleali’s initial on the lace loop, and midsole. We even find it on the chenille Air Wings on the lateral ankle.

Subsequently, we find Golden Yellow inserts topped with Red branding patching on the insoles. Again, we see the Yellow in the center of the outsole. In addition to the preset Hyper Blue laces, this Jordan 1 Zoom Comfort also comes with Sail, Pine Green, and Yellow laces with matching aglets to optimize your styling choices.

Everything arrives in a special edition Pine Green Nike box accented in Hyper Blue and topped with Aleali May’s signature in Sail. This matches the one embossed into the heel counter.

Already available in select retailers in Japan and Europe, the Aleali May x Air Jordan 1 Zoom Comfort WMNS “Califia” may yet see the U.S. However, until we know for sure, enjoy these YankeeKicks original images and stay tuned for more info on sneaker releases coming soon.
