Air Jordan 1 Mid Taxi

Designed by Peter Moore and released on 25 August 2022 as part of the Air Jordan 1 line. This release has a leather upper in Taxi/White/Black. Taxi is the shorthand this line uses for that specific yellow, and on the Jordan 1 Mid it does something the original 1985 colourways never tried: it makes the shoe read like signage. The Mid exists because the Air Jordan 1 outgrew its own decade. Peter Moore's high top from 1985 became the base pattern for a whole family of cuts once the line turned into Jordan Brand, and the Mid is the version most people actually wear, cheaper to keep in rotation and easier to pull on. Yellow against black and white is the loudest useful combination in the catalogue, bright enough to carry an outfit on its own but built on a shape that has been familiar for four decades, so it never reads as a novelty.
