Air Jordan 1 Mid "Barons" DQ8426-101

The Air Jordan 1 Mid “Barons” brings a baseball-inspired twist to a classic silhouette. Drawing from the 2014 high-top release, this version keeps the greyscale “Black Toe” colour-blocking intact, reworking the original look into a more accessible format.

Crisp white leather forms the base, while black overlays wrap the toe and eyestays. Soft grey lands on the collar, heel, and outsole — a clear nod to the Birmingham Barons uniform. The switch to leather at the rear adds structure, replacing the nubuck seen on the OG high. It’s a subtle change, but it helps the shoe hold its shape over time.

This mid-top edition sticks closely to the AJ1 formula. Padded collars ensure comfort, and perforations at the toe box add breathability. Nike Air tech underfoot provides lightweight cushioning, while the rubber outsole grips well across different surfaces. Whether you’re walking around the city or keeping them clean on ice, they handle regular wear with ease.

This isn’t just another general release nodding to something rarer. The execution is sharp, and the colour palette fits right into everyday rotation. It balances nostalgia with practicality — heritage look, modern finish.
