Mike Continues "Sneaker School" Series with Charlotte Hornets-Inspired Air Jordan 1 Mid

With Michael Jordan's illustrious career on the hardwood long celebrated, many often overlook the following chapters. Yet, his venture into team ownership – a chapter culminating in increasing his net worth to a staggering $3 billion – cannot be ignored. Now, in a fitting tribute, Jordan Brand presents the Air Jordan 1 Mid "Hornets," a continuation of the kids-exclusive "Sneaker School" series. This series isn't just about style; it's about educating the upcoming generation of sneaker enthusiasts on the multifaceted journey of the basketball titan.

A deep dive into MJ's ownership tenure, this new release reminisces about the iconic 90s uniforms of the Charlotte Hornets. The sneaker's design is rife with references: black twill uppers set the stage, while overlays of refreshing teal and aqua transport wearers to a nostalgic era. The pinstriped collars exude the 90s charm, and the innovative velcro Swooshes, rendered in a striking purple, offer a unique interactive element. Wearers can customize their kicks, adding a series of branded patches as they deem fit.

But Jordan's ties to Charlotte aren't the only narrative here. A nod to his iconic Chicago Bulls tenure shines through, evident in the tongue's "Inspired by the Greatest" logo and the inner Nike Air motif, linking to where the legend began.

The release for this new Air Jordan 1 Mid "Hornets" is currently expected to land on Nike.com on February 9, 2024.
