Nike’s Valentine’s Day sneaker lineup for 2025 is reportedly getting bigger with the Air Jordan 1 Mid "Cracked Leather" sneakers.
According to House of Heat, the shoes are scheduled to be released in Summer 2025, with a retail price point of around $125. Fans expect to find the pair on the official Nike website, the SNKRS app, and other select retail points on release.
Disclaimer: Details of the Air Jordan 1 Mid "Cracked Leather" sneakers are only speculated, and are not yet confirmed by the brand. They are subject to change.
This Air Jordan 1 Mid will reportedly be launched as a women’s exclusive release. The upcoming "Cracked Leather" iteration is expected to retain some traditional design elements with modern updates, featuring cracked metallic finishes, premium leather, and a red-and-white color scheme.
Though the pair is not expected to hit shelves before Valentine's Day 2025, the design elements, especially the metallic red cracked leather on the Swoosh and collar, give it a feel that fits the Valentine's Day theme.
Reported design elements and features of the Air Jordan 1 Mid "Cracked Leather" sneakers
The Air Jordan 1 Mid "Cracked Leather" comes with a new take to the Chicago color scheme, Sneaker Bar Detroit reports. Its colorway is labeled Gym Red/ White/ Sail. Some of its speculated key features include:
Cracked metallic leather on swoosh and collar
One of the highlights of Jordan 1 Mid "Cracked Leather" sneakers is its cracked leather detailing on the Nike Swoosh and ankle collar. The material reportedly has a foil-like metallic red finish, giving it a slightly aged look. This is a nod to past Jordan releases like the "Lost & Found" AJ1s and the upcoming "UNC Reimagined" edition.
Fire Red leather overlays
Surrounding the base are a number of Fire Red leather overlays that cover the forefoot, heel, and eye stays of the Jordan 1 Mid "Cracked Leather". The red hue contrasts with the white leather base.
Smooth white leather base
The shoe retains a traditional smooth white leather base, which serves as a neutral ground for the red overlays. This is expected to make the sneaker versatile for different kinds of outfits.
Perforated toe box for breathability
A signature feature on all Air Jordan 1 models is the perforated toe box.
Embossed wings logo on the collar
As expected, the Jordan Wings logo allegedly appears on the ankle collar of the Jordan 1 Mid "Cracked Leather" sneakers. It is embossed in red. This maintains the signature branding of the Air Jordan 1 Mid.
Two-tone midsole and outsole
The sneaker sits on a white midsole paired with a Fire Red rubber outsole, for good traction, reports claim.
However, despite the holiday-friendly color scheme, this sneaker is not yet officially tied to Valentine’s Day, and its delayed launch may lessen the seasonal appeal. Additionally, some sneakerheads still prefer AJ1 Highs over Mids. Hence, this pair may not get the same reception as a high-top release.
