First Looks // Air Jordan 1 Mid “Skyline”

Select Model

With the years ever-growing between those who wear Michael Jordan’s shoes and those who saw him play, Jordan Brand has taken a proactive approach to teach the next generation of sneakerheads about the NBA legend through their series of “Sneaker School” releases. From “Bred” Air Jordan 1 Mids that explain the titular nickname to releases that celebrate his iconic NCAA Championship shot, the brand is ensuring that the future generation continues to hold the brand’s namesake in high regard. This new Air Jordan 1 Mid “Skyline” continues those teachings as it remembers one of the earliest advertising campaign photos used by the brand.

Like the Air Jordan 1 High OG of the same name, this kids-exclusive release is inspired by the infamous Chicago Skyline photo (pictured below) used by the brand on its Air Jordan 1 Hangtags. For this release, the brand has delivered a traditional “Black Toe” blocking (the shoe worn by Mike in the shot) and layers on a skyline graphic where a traditional white leather upper would sit. The tongue tags feature the photograph in question, too, with gradient sole units visible through icy-translucent outsoles underfoot. The pair is then equipped with tumbled leather overlays and purple laces and comes housed in the brand’s “Sneaker School” packaging.

A release date for this new Air Jordan 1 Mid “Skyline” is not yet known, but with the High OG arriving in March, it’s likely that these will drop alongside it.

Until then, you can enjoy a first and official look at the pair below.
