The Air Jordan 1 "Royal" is one of the most desirable, yet elusive sneakers around. With only one retro in recent years, the extremely high resale prices can be a big deterrent. Nike is known for using the "Royal Blue" colorway on different silhouettes and the Nike Internationalist Mid is the latest to receive the Jordan 1 treatment.

Undeniably influenced by the Jordan 1 "Royal," the sneaker features identical color blocking. The mostly black sneaker features Royal Blue on the toe box, Swoosh, and heel. Unlike the all-leather Jordan, the Nike Internationalist Mid incorporates suede on the toe cap, eyelets, and heel. Also, there is a black outsole compared to the royal blue outsole found on the Jordan.

German retailer Asphalt Gold has the Nike Internationalist Mid "Royal" listed as coming soon, so expect an official release date in the near future.
