Jordan Brand is bringing Space Jam cues to the [Air Jordan 1 Mid](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rare-air) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/true-red-colorway) 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'](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flu-game-colorway) turns the 30-year mark into a broader capsule.
