With its 30 year heritage as a sneaker brand, Jump has introduced its most directionally designed collection of premium sneakers, Jump Sneaker Deluxe. This brand’s origins are in Taiwan, where the Chen family made Jump a hugely popular 80s brand as was Travel Fox. From Taiwan the brand expanded throughout Asia to Japan and China, then hit European retailers as Printemps and Galeries Lafayette in Paris.
In 2007, the brand arrived in the US market with its flagship store in New York’s SoHo district at 89 Spring St. It is here where the brand will launch Jump Sneaker Deluxe in November of this year. The inaugural line features metallics as well as antiqued, pearlized and quilted patents that aggrandize the classic sneaker. Contemporary homage’s to Travel Fox models from the archives can be found in some of the design details. Jump Sneaker Deluxe will be available at Kitson in LA, NY and select Bloomingdale’s locations around the country. Check them out.

Air Jordan I Retro With High Strap

Black/ Varsity- Red/ White. The evolving Air Jordan I has seen various colorways and designs over the years but the Air Jordan I Retro High Strap design is pretty similar to the original Air Jordan I. The straps on the sneaker are removable and takes us back to the old days of the Air Jordan I while the “Bred” black, varsity red and white colorway helps this sneaker look like a blast from the past.
