On Saturday night, the Tennessee Titans ran all over the Minnesota Vikings en route to a 24-16 victory. The Titans' rushing attack took place without one of the most dominant running backs in the NFL even playing a snap.

Understandably, the Titans are preserving Derrick Henry for the regular season. But that did not stop the 3x NFL Pro Bowl running back from creating a few highlights of his own. Henry stood out with his pregame outfit, which readers can see in the Instagram post below.

Thanks to the Titans' social media team and fashion experts online, we can see that Henry rocked a matching Heron Preston shirt and shorts. However, even we can recognize the Air Jordan sneakers Henry had on his feet.

Henry wore the Air Jordan 1 High 85 in the 'Black White' colorway. Yet, many sneakerheads have dubbed the shoes as the "Panda" colorway, as a nod to the similarly designed Nike Dunk sneakers. Below is what Titans fans need to know about Henry's Air Jordan sneakers.

The Air Jordan 1 High 85 'Black White' was released in extremely limited quantities in February 2023 for $200. After six months, the average resale price of the sneakers has ballooned to $311, according to StockX.

This is not the first time the colorway has been applied to Michael Jordan's first signature sneaker. However, it is the first time the 'Black White' colorway has appeared on the Air Jordan 1 since its 2014 release. Unfortunately for sneakerheads, Henry's kicks sold out a long time ago. 

The silver lining is several colorways of the Air Jordan 1 are available in full-family sizing on the Nike website. Nike has a style of the old-school hoop shoe for everyone.
