Nike introduces a range of colorways each February to commemorate Black History Month. In 2014, they unveiled the refreshed Air Jordan 1 Mid Nouveau as part of this collection. Crafted with a maroon leather upper, the mid-top sneaker incorporates perforations on the toe box for enhanced breathability. Furthermore, Nike incorporates leather textures on the mudguard, ankle, heel, and Swoosh, accentuating the sneaker's overall design. With contrasting laces and a unique pattern on the ankle collar, the Air Jordan 1 Mid Nouveau makes a bold fashion statement. To signify its connection to Black History Month, the shoe proudly displays the BHM branding.
