The Jordan 1 Mid SS "UNC to Chicago" kids' shoe drops August 11 at Hibbett | City Gear.

Michael Jordan has so many accolades it’s nearly impossible to fit them all into one bio. Fortunately, the G.O.A.T. also happens to have an iconic sneaker line (maybe you’ve heard of it?) that tells the story of the Jumpman’s rise to fame with each silhouette and colorway. 

Snag a part of MJ’s story with the Aug. 11 drop of the “UNC to Chicago” colorway featured on the Air Jordan 1 Mid. Celebrating both his college and NBA career, the AJ 1 Mids artfully blend tones of both teams, mixing white, Metallic Gold, University Red, Blue Lightning and Wolf Grey into one dynamic sneaker package. The Jordan shoes will be available in toddler, preK and grade school kids’ sizes.

Let your little ones aim for the stars — or at least shoot toward the net — in a pair of these sweet sneaks. Perfect for back-to-school or all-day play, the Air Jordan 1 Mids start with a white leather base. Blue Lightning leather outlines the toe box, crackled with Metallic Gold to create an elephant print. Gold Swooshes appear on the quarter panels, and gold circles the ankle collar. The shoe’s rear gets a University Red overlay with gold elephant print, and the white midsole rests atop an icy outsole that blends blue and red underfoot. 

The iconic Wings logo gets stamped in gold, along with a 1988 gold heel emblem and tongue branding — the latter two of which nod to MJ’s six championships and his playing days at UNC. Blue Lightning trims the tongue, while University Red lines the inside of the shoe. One sneaker features a red insole with blue Jumpman, and the other is reversed. 

The road to success for MJ may glitter with trophies, championships and newspaper headlines, but kids of all ages can take His Airness’ attitude and drive with them every time they lace up a pair of Jordans.
