We first gave you a sneak peek at the Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro High Do the Right Thing pack all the way back in February and it seems that there have been some minor changes from the sample images that first surfaced a few months ago. Both pairs still use the same White pebbled leather uppers with metallic accents, but the wildly colorful pattern that appeared on the linings has apparently been replaced with solid accent colors instead. While this takes a little away from the late 80’s vibe, both colorways still pack plenty of retro punch thanks to the classic simplicity and overall clean look. It’s not definite that the patterned linings won’t show up again on the final retail models, but all of the latest samples seem to have abandoned it. Look for both the White/Varsity Red and White/Sea Green versions of the Nike Air Jordan 1 “Do the Right Thing” to drop on July 4th just in time to get fresh for the Independence Day festivities.

Commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Spike Lee film’s theatrical release, the Nike Air Jordan 1 “Do the Right Thing Pack” is set to drop in July. Here we get a closer look at the metallic red version. Laid atop white pebbled leather, we see that the red patent leather is slightly pearlized, lending it an extra sparkle. Also detailed in the pictures included after the jump is the lining, which features a jagged pattern mixing red, yellow, blue, black and white to fully capture that late 80’s aesthetic. With nearly four months left before the official release, you can count on NewKicksOnTheBlog to bring you more pictures and information.
