Adapted Charcoal Mid-Tops

Nike's New Sequoia Air Jordan 1 Mids Have a Streamlined Design

— January 3, 2017 — Fashion
In and effort to diversify its sneaker offerings, Nike took its popular Air Jordan 1 Mid model and transformed it with a fresh colorway, resulting in its new Sequoia release.

Made for consumers who look for minimalism in their footwear, the uppers of the basketball shoes are colored a simple charcoal tone. With the uppers constructed from suede, the sneakers have a durable design that makes them well-worth the affordable investment.

This is aided by the dark colorway as well, which prevents stains from damaging the look of the new Sequoia Air Jordan 1 Mids. The charcoal on the uppers is contrasted by the white textured sole and a little bit of red branding that can be seen on a label on the tongue.
