Love them or hate them, Air Jordan 1 Mids remain one of the most reliable commodities in Jordan Brand’s arsenal. Bringing the immutable DNA of the Air Jordan 1 proper with a far more approachable price point, the top-line design choices from that silhouette have a tendency to make the jump in the process.

Case in point, the latest colorway to hit the newswire, reliant on renowned “UNC” both in its palette and its color-blocking. “Dark Powder Blue,” the exact pantone utilized for the 2015 retros and a slew of iterations that followed in the decade since, applies across the laces, leather overlays and the outsole. The main divergence, then, comes with the dose of “Summit Grey” that paints the underneath collar and the Swoosh, as well as the off-white midsole that evokes the already highly-anticipated “UNC Reimagined” on tap for 2025.

Expect the Air Jordan 1 Mid “Dark Powder Blue” to land this Holiday season in men’s sizing with a $125 MSRP. If this pair has particularly caught your eye, stay locked in to our Jordan Release Dates page. Otherwise, check out official images ahead.
