The Air Jordan 1 Mid is continually referencing signatures other than Michael Jordan’s first. Along with homages to famous AJ1s, the silhouette frequently pays homage to other fan favorite models, including the Air Jordan 11.
The black patent adds a trendy touch to the sneaker
The Air Jordan 1 Mid’s latest release takes us back to the mid-90s, to one of the most renowned colors of the Tinker Hatfield-designed icon: the “Space Jam” 11. This AJ pair gives the idea of being nearly identical to one another in terms of color blocking. Throughout the upper, black patent meets smooth leather, both in a deep black similar to the inspiration, while white midsoles and frosty bottoms sit just underfoot. The branding is also evocative of the original, with a dark blue Jumpman affixed to the tongue of the mid-top.
Conclusion
The Air Jordan 1 Mid might seem like an odd choice, but it’s so well-known that it best represents the Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam” design. It’s undoubtedly one of the most unusual and greatest Air Jordan 1s ever made. This shoe will never be confused with any other, and it is a true classic.
