Since pictures of the Blue Sapphire Air Jordan 1 Retro surfaced online we have heard quite a few different things about them. We originally reported that the sneakers would have a Blue Sapphire nylon upper. Later on down the line we then reported there had been a material change on the upper, from nylon to patent leather, due to newer pictures which had surfaced on the web. However, we can now tell you that the official release, set for March 14th, will include a nylon upper.
