Strip away the height and the Mid is closer to the High than most people assume. The leather coverage is the same, the panel shapes are the same, and the tooling underneath is unchanged. What differs is the collar, cut down to sit at the ankle instead of above it, and the branding, applied tonally rather than in contrast.
On this pair the one deliberate flourish is the Swoosh, stenciled on the quarter panel with a micro perforation pattern so it reads as texture up close and as a solid shape from further away. Black takes the upper, white takes the midsole, and the split is clean enough that nothing else needs to happen. It released in November 2016 at $110, in adult sizing, on a rubber outsole with the pivot circle under the forefoot.
