Keep It Cool With the Air Jordan 1 Mid Gray Fog

You get a shoe design that is edgy yet refined with the Air Jordan 1 Mid Gray Fog. This model was initially released on December 20, 2018, jumping into the game as a late entry to that year's fall collection.

The shoe's tumbled leather gives it a rich aesthetic. At the same time, the colorway is cool and neutral. The sneaker's tacky rubber outsole gives you traction that you can count on whether you’re on the court or off.

Peter Moore created the original version of this sneaker in 1985 using durable leather. He combined this base material with supportive overlays, high and low straps, and a full mudguard.

In this 2018 edition, you can see an inimitable reflection of the premier Air Jordan 1. It was a shoe with strategically designed lines that created a distinct stabilizing effect that is perfectly recreated in this model.

A Cooler Color Blocking Option

The Gray Fog Jordan 1's color blocking contrasts some of the darker or more vibrantly colored Air Jordan designs. This model opts for a mellower vibe, leaning into the grayscale look that the mid-panel and toe both feature. The staple white leather base keeps the look light all the way down to the sole.

The shoe's collars, including the eyestay and toe overlays, are designed to show off the gray fog coloring. The ankle flap is where the color shifts back to white. Black and bold branding adorn these sneaks, and that includes the Swooshes and Wings as well as the branding on the tongue.

They all get the same finish too, popping right off the bright white base colorway. The same goes for the sole unit.

The build of these shoes uses traditional leather. A black rubber tread is applied to the staple white midsoles, rounding off the look.

Right in the Middle

This cool colorway gives you a solid middle ground between the lighter and darker extremes of the spectrum. And, similarly, these shoes' height is the perfect compromise between the low-cut and high-cut versions.

There are perforations in the toebox, a smooth leather upper, successive white inserts in the lower area, and gray inserts around the ankles. You can opt for white laces to match the leather and keep the overall vibe cool and light. On the other hand, black laces pair well with the Swoosh and other branding, helping it pop even more.

The gray sole of these sneakers is perfectly complementary to the standard branding that comes with any Air Jordan. You know instantly that you're looking at an epic pair of Air Jordan 1s no matter which angle you approach them from. The Air Jordan Wings are a signature emblem and trademark of the shoe line that no pair of Jordan sneakers would be complete without.

A Shoe That's Built to Last

Thanks to this shoe's synthetic upper and premium leather, you get a design that is durable, comfortable, and supportive. Air sole is located in the heel, so you'll feel the recognizable cushion these Nike sneakers are known for in every step you take. The rubber outsole ensures that you won't slip or slide no matter what type of surface you're dealing with.

The design of these kicks combines white, light Gray Fog, and black. The uppers are made of leather, creating an elegant yet sturdy lifestyle sneaker aesthetic. This model also utilizes the shoe line's famous Air technology to ensure that you're supported every time your feet hit the ground.

It's another one of Peter Moore's distinctive creations and is commonly known simply by its nickname, Gray Fog. Similar colorways like the Smoke Gray later came out on October 11, 2021, but the Gray Fog remains ever-popular.
