About the Air Jordan 1 Mid 'Cool Grey'

Grey on grey is harder to pull off than it sounds, because without a contrast color the shoe has to rely on differences in tone. Cool Grey, which leans blue, takes the base, and Wolf Grey, a shade lighter and flatter, handles the contrast panels, with white in between to stop the two from muddying each other.

The Mid cut suits the treatment. Its collar sits lower than the High's and it lacks the tall ankle flap, so the upper reads as a continuous surface and the tonal work has more room to show. At $125 this sat above most Mids of the period, which typically listed at $110. It released on June 14, 2015, on the standard Mid build with a rubber outsole and an Air unit in the heel.
