Jordan Brand introduces a new tonal iteration of the Flipped Yellow Toe colorway of the iconic Air Jordan 1 Mid sneaker model. The new color blocking detail resembles a taxi-like design language for a bold visual. The new shoes have a leather material construction throughout the upper and it rests on a clean white base foundation.
It is then accented by a black toe section and the bright yellow overlays. Black continues by the collars, the tongue, and the laces over the forefoot to create a contrasting tri-tonal look. Branding is complete by the Swoosh on the lateral side of the shoe, the Wings emblem, the Jumpman by the tongue tags, and the printed insoles.
