Jordan Brand is bringing Space Jam cues to the Air Jordan 1 Mid for the film's 30th anniversary, giving wearers Bugs Bunny touches without turning the shoe into a costume piece. A larger Swoosh built from thin overlapping lines shifts the side panel into a more graphic movie nod.
Blue textured leather lands on the toe and heel, while black covers most of the upper for a cleaner contrast. One tongue tag swaps the usual Jumpman for Bugs Bunny in the same pose, and yellow-green outlines pull Tune World color into a pair that still works as an everyday Air Jordan.
The pair is set for November 2026 at $165 in men's sizing. Grade school, preschool, and toddler versions also arrive, with the smallest pair priced at $65. That size spread carries the anniversary theme past adult collectors, and its place beside the Air Jordan 11 'Space Jam' turns the 30-year mark into a broader capsule.
