Air Jordan 1 Mid Reverse Yellow Toe

Designed by Peter Moore and released on 24 September 2022 as part of the Air Jordan 1 line. This release has a leather upper in Taxi/Black/Sail. Reverse Yellow Toe does exactly what it says: it takes the yellow and black arrangement the line uses periodically and swaps which panels get which colour, so the tone that normally sits at the toe moves elsewhere and the balance of the shoe inverts. Reverse colourways are one of the more honest tricks in the AJ1 catalogue, because they only work on a design whose panel layout is famous enough that people notice the switch. That layout is Peter Moore's from 1984, unchanged in geometry since the shoe reached the public on 1 April 1985. On a Mid, the inversion is easier to read than on a Low, since the collar gives the eye a second block of colour to compare against.
