Just in time for spring.
Spring often welcomes celebratory Easter-themed sneaker releases, a trend that appears will be upheld by Jordan Brand in the coming months.
This all-new colorway of the Air Jordan 12 Low is being dubbed “Easter,” but also feels a lot like an interpretation of the “Legend Blue” Air Jordan 11. The white-based lows are complemented by iridescent hits on the upper lace loops and ‘JUMPMAN’ midsole tabs. The heel tab in black offers a bit of contrast and an icy blue-tinted sole is even more reason to make that comparison to the model’s predecessor.
The Jordan 12 Low makes its return beginning in February, beginning with a special make-up celebrating Super Bowl LV. Expect the “Easter” colorway to release on Apr. 3 for a reported increased retail price of $200.

In the heyday of high modernism, architects such as Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe extolled the aesthetic value of whiteness, which they viewed as connoting purity and simplicity. Mies van der Rohe’s Farnsworth House, for example, paired the stripped-down whiteness of its structural skeleton with expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, using the enveloping natural light to further elevate the already heavenly aspirations of the space. Today, some contemporary architects and designers have evolved the sublime aesthetics of white high modern architecture by using translucent fabric partitions, complementing the purity of the white walls with the fabrics’ ethereal play of light and shadow. Below, we discuss different design strategies for working with white fabrics in this way, and include two examples of projects that have used translucent fabrics in soothing but innovative ways.
