The iconic Grape colorway palette by Nike makes another appearance as it launches on the Air Jordan 1 Mid sneaker silhouette this season. The shoes boast a 90s flair with the three-tone visual made from premium leather materials throughout the upper.
It features the Grape hue over the forefoot section and overlaying accents at the quarter panels. It also follows through to the laces and collar details as well. Bright teal is added as a tonal contrast and can be seen at the branding Swooshes on the lateral side, the lower heel overlays, the ankle section, and the toe boxes. Black tones balance out the striking tones of the tongue and the quarters as it sits on top of clean white midsoles.
