Jordan 1 Mid
"White Shadow"
554724-073
This pair of greyscale Jordan 1 Mid sneakers comes in a design brimming with polished elegance that is nicknamed White Shadow. This starts on the black and white sole unit, which carries the former tone on its grippy outsole and the latter through its Air-cushioned midsole. While this last feature has been filled with foam to bolster the support provided by the encapsulated Air in its heel, the outsole has grip patterns in a variety of shapes that offer high-quality traction underfoot.
Atop this sturdy sole rests a smooth leather upper formed of layered panels in three contrasting hues. The first is white, which can be seen on the heel counter, the eyestay, the collar wrap and the toe box. Although the first two sections are unadorned with any additional decorations, the collar wrap has a dynamic set of Air Jordan Wings printed onto its lateral side in black, and the toe incorporates fanning lines of ventilation holes that add both to the aesthetic of the sneaker and its already high levels of comfort.
The next colour to be found here is black, its sleek tones moving through the midfoot, the forefoot overlays, the laces and the woven tongue label. The tongue itself is white, and the patch sewn into its peak carries a white Jumpman logo above the word “Air”. This interplay of black and white elements creates an array of bold tonal variation across the design, which is further enhanced by its third colour – Medium Grey. Both the mid-length collar and the sidewall swooshes are filled out in its neutral hues, bringing a dapper look to the flanks. Finally, the inside of the shoe is black from top to toe, and a distinctive white Jumpman on the insole finishes off this memorable sneaker.
