Appearing once again is the curious diamond-shaped logo on the tongue of another variation of the Air Jordan 1. Previously spotted on an Air Jordan 1 Low and a toddler pair of Jordan 1s, this signature black/white colorway appears once more on the ubiquitous Mid-cut silhouette with the same panda-esque white/black with a milky opaque sole.

The aforementioned logo could be connected to two things. The most obvious is quite obviously Michael Jordan’s foray into the game of baseball, with the colorway a perfect match for the Birmingham Barons uniforms that MJ famously donned. Perhaps another layer of MJ legacy is the diamond detailing spotted on those classic Jumpman shorts – a trend that persists to this day.

We’ll let you deduce what the inspiration is, but for now, peep the first look via official images and expected a release likely in 2022.
