Get a Lesson in Sneaker Anatomy with the Air Jordan 1 Mid GS "Sneaker School"

Know your vamp from your overlay? If not, don’t sweat it. Nike’s latest addition to the Jordan 1 Mid line-up is here to transport us back to the classroom, with the kids-exclusive Air Jordan 1 Mid GS "Sneaker School." If you’re blessed with small feet and are interested in learning more about what makes up your fave sneaks, or looking to turn your little'uns into sneakerheads early, then these are the perfect pair to add to your collection.

The Jordan 1 Mid has seen huge success this year, but the "Sneaker School" AJ1 takes things back to basics. Done up in a simple black and white colourway, the focus for this pair is the construction. From the toe to the mudguard, the foxing to the quarter, the "Sneaker School" Jordan 1 clearly identifies and labels each part of the shoe, showing how it all comes together to form the silhouette.

Once you’ve got your construction knowledge locked down, it’s over to art school. The "Sneaker School" Jordan 1 Mid release also includes photocopiable sheets detailing each part, ready for you to dig out the crayons and get creative. Tack your designs onto the shoe to create a "what-if" design and imagine your dream colourway come to life, or jump on the sneaker customisation bandwagon and get painting!
