Air Jordan 1 Mid Squadron Blue DQ8426-002
The Air Jordan 1 Mid “Squadron Blue” taps into familiar DNA while keeping things current. The colorway echoes the legendary Black Toe layout from the model’s 1985 origins.
Black leather covers the toe, quarters, tongue, and collar, setting a grounded foundation. Meanwhile, Squadron Blue panels appear on the forefoot, ankle flaps, and heel overlays. The same tone extends to the outsole, adding a Dunk-inspired touch that feels intentional, not forced.
White accents break up the darker sections and sharpen the overall balance. Compared to past AJ1 Mid colorways, this execution feels more focused on heritage than trend chasing. It lands closer to OG storytelling than seasonal experimentation.
This sillouette fits cleanly into Jordan Brand’s ongoing nostalgia play. It respects the past while staying accessible for everyday wear. That balance continues to work for the Mid line.
The Air Jordan 1 Mid “Squadron Blue” is set to launch in Spring 2026 for $140 USD. Check for pairs via Nike.com and select retailers.
