Air Jordan 1 Mid

Discover the controversial shoe that got sneakerheads talking in the early 2000s: the Air Jordan 1 Mid. Available to buy at JD Sports Australia, this more modern take on the classic AJ1 comes in a variety of eye-catching colours, including Triple White, Smoke Grey, and Panda. You’ll also find exciting special edition (SE) versions of the trainer, sporting unique designs that capture the experimental nature of the footwear industry, with never-before-seen colourways.

The Legacy of the Air Jordan 1 Mid

The Air Jordan 1 Mid is a somewhat unlikely success story, with many die-hard fans having been on the fence when it first hit the scene in 2001. What was the reason for this hesitancy? There’s a simple answer to that question: Michael Jordan, the face of the brand, was never seen wearing the shoes in play. For a vocal group of sneakerheads, this was a good enough reason to disregard the AJ1 Mid as an unwanted release. It was, rightly or wrongly, perceived to be inferior to the High, which had the added intrigue of scarcity going for it.

If you were to ask a sneakerhead today, however, you’d find that perceptions have changed, and the AJ1 Mid is much more accepted, if not beloved. This is largely down to the influence of modern celebrity figures, such as Melody Ehsani, who wore the shoes openly. Though His Airness will forever be the man who made the Jordan brand a household name, it is the new generation that is giving the AJ1 Mid a legacy worth chatting about.

Now you can be part of the discussion by purchasing a pair from the JD Sports AU collection, which (in addition to sought-after colours, like blue and grey) features the turn-of-the-millennium mid-top silhouette in sizes for men, women, and kids.
