Every year, Jordan Brand’s extensive throwback roster reconstructs MJ’s link to the Tar Heels. The Beaverton brand is ensuring the next generation of players are clad with the same classic scheme, having outfitted this grade school-exclusive Air Jordan 1 Mid in the presiding UNC-centric theme.
The footwear features a simple yet adaptable design
Contrary to the crisp white accents featured throughout the upper of its high-top design, the latter is only seldom used to contrast the midsole with the tread’s baby blue color. Above, brilliant “University Blue” hues are utilized over the smooth leather overlays of the top in conjunction with the midfoot Swoosh and mesh tongue construction of the shoe. The silhouette is finished off with a tried-and-true coordination, which is completed by the addition of jet-black accents that dress the pair’s base layer, sock liner, laces, and Jumpman logo.
Conclusion
The Air Jordan 1 Mid is unquestionably one of the more updated interpretations of the original Air Jordan’s silhouette, but with a vintage touch. The pair’s clean “University Blue” color scheme, on the other hand, breathes new life into what could have been another iteration of Mids midsoles.
