Historically, the Air Jordan 1 Mid has been the design from 1985’s most experimental trim. A recently-surfaced retro donning tartan-patterned swooshes at the profiles continues the trend.

Black and a vachetta tan-reminiscent hue make up the entirety of the upper, with the latter tone claiming base layers. The aforementioned square-laden pattern emerges via the profile swooshes in a red, off-white and black color combination; the Air Jordan 1-variant’s tongue label and sock-liners follow suit, giving the iconic Jumpman logo a fun backdrop. “Wings” insignias on the lateral ankle opt for ruby-colored flair as well, while oft-imitated sole units favor a one-two punch of monochromatic flavor perfect for allowing the tartan detailing across the shoe to revel in the spotlight.

Enjoy official images of the pair ahead, and anticipate a Nike.com launch soon.
