Although it’s not unusual for the Air Jordan 1 Mid to draw inspiration from past releases, the silhouette usually looks further back to classics like the "Bred" or the "Chicago." Here, however, Jordan Brand has turned the clock back only about a year, seemingly taking cues from the beloved "Hyper Royal" colorway introduced in 2021.
There are, however, a few key differences: the Wings/Jumpman logo, for example, are clad in a bright red, and the adjacent laces and lining are instead dressed a deep blue. The neighboring construction, though, is near identical to the “Hyper Royal,” opting for an uncannily similar shade of blue through its suede overlays. Moreover, the base, Swoosh, and midsole proffer additional points of comparison, as they deliver a close but not exact arrangement of white and grey.
The Jordan 1 Mids are a classic basketball shoe that has been around for decades. They are comfortable, stylish, and versatile, making them a great choice for any basketball player. The Jordan 1 Mids are available in many different colors and designs, so you can find the perfect pair to match your style.
