Sneakerheads give mixed reactions as Nicki Minaj x Nike Air Jordan 1 sample surfaces online: “Gender reveal vibes”

Earlier this year, English Sole shared a look at Nicki Minaj’s “The Pinkprint” Air Jordan 6 Low. The Air Jordan 1 will now be reimagined in the same theme, with English Sole recently sharing a demo version online. Nicki Minaj is known the world over for her work in the music industry and while she has a huge fan base, sneaker lovers don’t seem to be impressed with the design pattern of the upcoming Air Jordan 1.

Nicki loves sneakers and is often seen wearing Jordan sneakers. The collaboration between Nicki Minaj and the Jordan brand was highly anticipated by the artist’s followers and sneaker lovers. However, fans did not seem to be on board with the Nicki Minaj x Nike Air Jordan 1, as they reacted to the sample design on social media.

Netizens Criticize Nicki Minaj x Nike Air Jordan 1 Sampler

The Nicki Minaj x Nike Air Jordan 1 features a shiny metallic silver upper base followed by vibrant hues like purple, pink and blue. The upper is made of beaten leather that has a shiny silver finish. The translucent outsole, leather Swooshes on each side, and the lining of the shoe have a blue to pink gradient, setting them apart from other shoes in the industry. The shoe also features neon pink accents on “The Pinkprint” featured on the heels and the Wings emblem on the collar.

Nicki’s fans may appreciate the unique colors and design idea, but she hasn’t gotten any positive reactions from fans of the sneaker. Some feel that the theme reminds them of gender reveal, while others are happy that the shoe hasn’t come out in all these years because they think it’s not worth it.

Several netizens took to the comments section of the @nicekicks post to react to the sight of the new sneakers. Some have said that the Air Jordan 1 would look better if it had a white upper base instead of a shiny metallic silver base.
