Matt Varga With official statements in their earnings call, Nike, Inc. essentially said what many in the sneaker commentariat had been stating for some time: some of the business is a bit too focused on rehashing models we’ve been familiar with for decades. Much as we can commend the self-scouting, it’s not a strategy without its benefits; something that the blowout success of the Undefeated Air Jordan 4 cemented once again in 2024.
The enduring pull of that colorway has on been display throughout various “Flight Jacket” or otherwise olive and orange collisions over the years. So why turn away from it now? The Air Jordan 1 Mid is the latest to pull from that canon, utilizing deep green nubuck and bright orange trim in the branding and outsole. Where this pair goes the extra mile is with elephant print applications on the collar and Swoosh, a way to frontline some additional legacy points within this vaunted color combo.
The Air Jordan 1 Mid “Flight Jacket” should be hitting shelves in short order, retailing for $140 in men’s sizing.
