Released in 2013 as a part of the Formidable Foes pack, the Air Jordan 1 Mid 'Phoenix Suns' pays tribute to the teams that Michael Jordan faced during his illustrious career. Specifically, the 'Phoenix Suns' colorway commemorates the 1993 NBA Finals, where Charles Barkley led the Suns against the Chicago Bulls. Despite Barkley's MVP season, his efforts were in vain as he and his team succumbed to Jordan and his squad in Game 6. Nevertheless, this rendition of the AJ1 features a high-quality leather construction adorned in vibrant Bright Citrus and Court Purple, serving as a homage to Barkley's valiant but unsuccessful battle against the legendary Jordan.
