Although playing second fiddle to its high-top counterpart for years, the Air Jordan 1 Mid model has come to life over the past few months, releasing in a barrage of themed tonal reworks. Earlier this month gracing our pages in a bold “Orange Peel” motif, this new rendition, however, applies a “Hyper Royal” scheme to the popular lifestyle classic. Clean splashes of white land on the midsole, vamp, side panel and portions of the collar, with the statement blue hue found on the outsole, bumper, eyestay and tongue adding color contrast and overall artistic depth. Signature branding found on side, collar and tongue regions tie the look together.

This pair of Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro High is dressed in a black and white mixed colourway. The main differences between this pair and the OG edition appear to be the OG High detailing, such as- the Nike Air tongue tag and a contrasting mid-sole stitch. It also includes a full leather upper and a black Nike Swoosh. The shoe is finished with a black out-sole unit.

Jordan Brand has done just that once again with the Air Jordan 1 Mid “Sanded Purple.” Bearing recognizable similarities and a comparable colorblocking style to last year’s popular AJ1 “Court Purple,” this “Sanded Purple” iteration differentiates itself just enough by switching up the shades. A dark blue appears in place of black on the overlays and tongue, while the purple tongue, heel, and collar flaps are all toned down a few degrees as well for a more overcast look. The stormy stylings are then split splendidly by a white leather quarter panel, and a black patent leather midfoot Swoosh provides a pop of premium flair. A white midsole and dark obsidian outsole then round off the look.
