Air Jordan 1 Mid "Squadron Blue" DQ8426-002

Some colourways lean on history, and this one does it well. The Air Jordan 1 Mid “Squadron Blue” pulls cues from early AJ1 icons while adding a cool twist that feels fresh without trying too hard.

The base sticks with a familiar black and white setup, a clear nod to OG pairs like the “Black Toe.” It gives the shoe instant balance. Clean. Timeless. From there, the design shifts at the collar, where Squadron Blue takes over. The icy tone stays contained, which keeps the look sharp and easy to wear. No overload. Just the right amount of contrast.

Up front, the toe box follows a layout similar to the popular “Bred Toe” style, blending heritage influence with a modern touch. Smooth leather covers the upper, delivering that classic Jordan feel from first wear. The mid-top cut offers a bit more ankle coverage than the Low, making it a solid pick for everyday use.

Underfoot, a white midsole keeps things crisp, while the rubber outsole offers dependable grip. Branding remains familiar, with the Wings logo at the collar and a Jumpman on the tongue. Subtle details that long-time fans will appreciate.
