This drop continues Jordan Brand’s push to expand the Air Jordan 1 Mid line with more textured, print heavy options aimed at women’s closets. A firm release date has not been locked in, and pricing sits at TBA for now, though the shoe is expected to hit Nike.com and select Jordan Brand retailers as part of the Fall 2026 rollout.

The Air Jordan 1 Mid “Velvet Brown Leopard” (W) Design
Materials do a lot of the work here. Tumbled leather covers most of the upper in place of the smoother leather typically used on the Air Jordan 1 Mid, and a canvas like fabric panel breaks up the usual build. Leopard print stays confined to specific zones rather than running across the whole shoe, showing up on the Swooshes and carrying onto sections of the tongue and collar. Black and brown fill in the remaining panels, keeping the spotted print as an accent rather than the main event.
What Makes The Air Jordan 1 Mid “Velvet Brown Leopard” Different From Standard Air Jordan 1 Mids?
This colorway swaps the usual smooth leather build for tumbled leather mixed with a canvas like fabric panel, and keeps leopard print limited to the Swooshes, tongue, and collar instead of covering the whole upper.
