The concept of the Jordan Evolution '85 is an interesting one.It was based on the question of,if the Air Jordan I were designed now,what would it be?Rather than keeping the shoe's orignal appearance,like the Alpha AJ1,this was a complete redesign.It incorporates elements of the original that made sense from a modern performance standpoint,like targeted overlays,and updates them to function in ways they never originally did.The sneaker features elements from many previous Air Jordan models,but also sports a new forefoot strap and triangle tongue pull.Judging by the result, Jordan Brand invested a lot of thought into this design.The Evolution 85's cushioning comes courtesy of a full-length encapsulated Air bag,which is housed inside a TPU cage.The interesting part of this cage is that it actually wraps below the foot in the midfoot and acts as support shank.The full-length bag works well from an impact-protection standpoint.
