Jordan Brand introduces a new tonal iteration of the Flipped Yellow Toe colorway of the iconic [Air Jordan 1](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hornetscolored) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-toe-version) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sail-and-metallic-gold) by the tongue tags, and the printed insoles.
