The Air Jordan 1 Mid "Rivals" Remembers Mike's Finals Opponents

As basketball legend Michael Jordan's impact echoes across time, his brand actively bridges the gap between generations. The upcoming kids-exclusive Air Jordan 1 Mid "Rivals" is the latest masterstroke in this endeavor, illustrating the Jumpman's commitment to educating young sneaker enthusiasts about MJ's legendary career.

Michael Jordan’s story is as inspiring as it is instructive, from his soaring dunks to his unmatched will to win. And now, Jordan Brand is bringing this history to life right at the feet of the next generation.

The Air Jordan 1 Mid "Rivals" is more than a shoe; it's a vivid narrative of MJ’s triumphs. It tells the story of a champion who led the Chicago Bulls to six NBA Finals victories, and it’s designed with the vibrant hues of the rival teams that Jordan and the Bulls overcame on their path to glory, from the Los Angeles Lakers in 1991 to the Utah Jazz in 1998.

The education is in the details. In a subtle yet impactful touch, the sneaker proudly displays the years of each historic final, making it a style statement and a wearable timeline of MJ's championship reign.

This release marks a significant shift in the Jordan Brand’s approach. It’s not simply about crafting stylish, coveted sneakers. It’s about passing down the legacy of Michael Jordan and the lessons of hard work, resilience, and excellence that his story embodies.

Pairs are currently scheduled to be released at retailers like Finish Line and JD Sports on November 27, 2023.
