Jordan Brand switches things up from the usual team-inspired Air Jordan 1 colourways with this Flower Garden make-up. This seemingly simple edition from the Jumpman is actually littered with details that make this a compelling drop for fans of the Air Jordan 1 Mid . Arriving in a similar flower-based motif is the Air Jordan Legacy 312 “Valentine’s Day Flowers” so it would make sense if this mid was part of a capsule set for a February 14th release.
At first glance, the predominantly white leather upper might have you thinking these are just a general-release pair of AJ1 Mids . The ankle collar, which is partially hidden by the overlapping Wings panel, is the most obvious embrace of the flower garden motif. On the inside of one Wings panel reads, “Gather ye rose-buds while ye may”, a line from Robert Herricks To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time, a poem that speaks about love and youth. Shoutout to Jordan Brand for trying to cement the bonds between relationships, we see you.
On the right shoe, the tongue label reads “Love” in the handwritten Jordan font, a further hint of its Valentine’s day theme. The hang tag is a unique touch and contains “From:” and “To:” which is an easy layup from the Jumpman if you’re trying to get a present for your sneaker-obsessed partner. Underfoot, the floral print from the ankle collar is repeated and can be seen through the icy sole. Although the outsole print is rarely seen on foot, it’s a detail we sneakerheads truly appreciate.
Whether you’re grabbing yourself or your partner a pair, make sure you keep it locked into The Sole Supplier to find out how to cop the Air Jordan 1 Mid “Flower Garden White Royal”.
