This Air Jordan 1 Mid seems like it's taken a number of landings all across the globe, as indicated by the many stamps that adorn its off-white, paper-reminiscent underlays. The design of this Air Jordan 1 Mid was heavily influenced by the aesthetic of the United States passport.

On top of that, the patterned leathers, crimson highlights, and gilt insignia all refer to the aforementioned paperwork. These are references to numerous of the features that are signature to its creation as well as its design.

The toe box features sail tones that are surrounded by faded black mudguards. The tongue flaps as well as the laterals are constructed using similar sail tones. Around the tongue areas, the rough black eyelets along with black lace sets add further to the themed appearance of this Air Jordan 1 Mid silhouette.

These tongues are further accentuated with crimson Jumpman labels for more detailing. Metallic gold accents are the standout elements of this shoe that appear on the lateral Swooshes and the Air Wing logo on the side panels. These swooshes on the sides are outlined with black hues.

Rounding out these mid-cut sneakers are the sail midsoles, which are brilliantly combined with the crimson outer sole units.

The structure of the Air Jordan 1 footwear has been reimagined countless times ever since it was first released in the footwear industry. Sneakerheads have embraced various styles of the AJ1 silhouette, including high, low, mid, CMFT, KO, Elevate, and more.

When presenting this well-liked design, Nike emphasizes the history of the sneaker as a focal point:

“It could be said that Michael Jordan was the genesis of basketball as we know it today. Throughout a fiery and storied career, the tireless MJ overcame his hurdles, soaring above challenge after challenge to realize the unexpected.”

It continues as:

“Along the way, he redefined basketball's relationship to style, the sport's connection to youth counter-culture and the game's creative potential. Like Jordan himself, his eponymous footwear arrived with a bang, sharing its namesake's tradition-breaking bravado.”
