First Look at Cancelled Air Jordan 1 'Medium Olive' and Saquon Barkley’s Nike T-Shirt

A first look at the canceled Air Jordan 1 “Medium Olive” has surfaced, with the sneaker possibly never released. Meanwhile, Saquon Barkley’s stunning hurdle play is celebrated with a Nike T-shirt, featuring a design that commemorates one of the NFL’s most jaw-dropping moments.

First Look at the Air Jordan 1 ‘Medium Olive’ Reveals Classic Design Amid Uncertainty Over Release

A first look at the Air Jordan 1 “Medium Olive” has surfaced through retailer images, with the pair still being reported as a potential November release. However, this colorway was initially part of a wave of Jordan cancellations that affected several releases, including the highly anticipated Air Jordan 5 “Black Cat” and four other pairs initially slated for the holiday season. Despite initial reports confirming the cancellation, sources support the claim, suggesting that the Air Jordan 1 “Medium Olive” is unlikely to hit shelves before the end of 2024—or possibly at all.

The product images confirm the color scheme seen in earlier mock-ups. The titular olive hue appears on the outsole and suede overlays. The rest of the shoe is accented with jet black and pure white, creating a “Chicago” palette swap similar to the Jordan 1 “Midnight Navy.”

The cancellation of this drop could be tied to the lukewarm response to similar releases this year, including the Jordan 1 “Midnight Navy,” which has declined in popularity despite its OG-adjacent design. Grey market prices have dipped below $100, and outlet markdowns have begun circulating in images.

While the Air Jordan 1 “Medium Olive” may have missed its chance to make a significant impact, it remains a highly anticipated release for AJ1 fans, especially those who have continued to support the model despite the brand’s recent downturn in momentum. If the sneaker ever makes it to retail, further details will be available on the Jordan Release Dates page.

Saquon Barkley’s Iconic NFL Hurdle Play Becomes Commemorative Nike T-Shirt Release

Meanwhile, Saquon Barkley has proven that his former team, the New York Giants, made a significant mistake by letting him explore free agency. In Week 9, Barkley’s iconic hurdle over a defensive back cemented his place in NFL history as one of the season’s most jaw-dropping moments. Nike plans to immortalize this play with a special t-shirt release.

Barkley’s play, considered the “play of the year,” occurred during a game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. After catching a third-down pass, Barkley spun and then hurdled backward over Jacksonville cornerback Jarrian Jones, a move that Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni called “the best play I’ve ever seen.”

During the play, Barkley wore a football cleat version of the Nike LeBron 4, specifically the LeBron 4 Menace 3, released earlier this year in a “Fruity Pebbles” colorway. LeBron James took notice of the stunning feat, sharing the clip on his Instagram story with the caption, “Must be the shoes!! @Saquon, you’re insane.”

The unique t-shirt, featuring an image of the LeBron 4 cleat mid-air during Barkley’s hurdle, also includes mirrored text reading “WITNESS,” referencing the dramatic 180-degree jump. The t-shirt will be available in black and white on Nike.com starting November 30th for $35, and there may also be a hoodie release, as indicated by recent images posted by the Los Angeles Lakers, where LeBron was seen wearing the item.
