Air Jordan 1 Mid "Alternate Think 16" returns in 2027

Eight years after its 2019 debut, Jordan Brand is bringing back the Air Jordan 1 Mid "Alternate Think 16" colorway during their Spring 2027 season.

According to multiple internal documents, Jordan Brand is re-releasing the "Alternate Think 16" color scheme during Spring 2027. The colorway first appeared on the Air Jordan 1 Mid in 2019, now returning in stores 8 years later.

The pair comes with style code 554724-121, an official "White / Metallic Silver / Black" colorway, a $130 retail price, and is currently expected to return during Spring 2027. The color palette recalls Kawhi Leonard’s Air Jordan 1 from the Think 16 collection, but his version used metallic silver across the mudguards and an icy translucent outsole, where this Air Jordan 1 Mid makes use of white leather panels instead. The pair contrasts crisp white synthetic leather with black perforated toe boxes, Swooshes, laces, padded collars, and tongues. Metallic silver eyestays and heel sections catch the light, while the ankle panels carry embossed basketball-and-wings Wings logos. Tongue patches show the Jumpman above the Flight script, and the black insoles repeat the Jumpman mark in white. A clean white textured midsole sits above a black rubber outsole, whose traction pattern combines circular grip rings under the forefoot, diagonal grooves through the middle, radial heel lines, and a ridged edge.
