Free The Youth is Giving Away its Friends & Family Air Jordan 1 Mid for Paris Fashion Week

When you’ve got a Jordan collab, you make the trip to Fashion Week. Fashion collective Free The Youth made the trip from Ghana to France for Paris Fashion Week to kick off the new year, and they brought some extra pairs of their Jordan 1 collab, with plans to turn some lucky fashion fans into friends and family.

FTY announced on Instagram today that they would be giving away an unspecified number of the crew’s Air Jordan 1 Mid collab in-person in Paris at the garment printer and clothing manufacturer Pablo T-Shirt Factory. Announced with a full day of warning before the giveaway, we’re expecting the line-up to be massive.

The multi-color Air Jordan 1 Mid collab with an eagle on the heel and adjustable eagle patches was only made in 175 pairs, and with FTY’s friends and family already getting their pairs, it is not clear how many are left for the waiting public in Paris. The collective even gave the president of Ghana his own pair, so if you’re fortunate enough to get one, you’ll be in exclusive company.

If you are out in Paris for Fashion Week and want to make your chances at securing a pair of FTY Jordan 1s better, bring a flag from your home country, and your odds will double. The FTY x Air Jordan 1 Mid giveaway will take place on January 24, 2026 at 2 PM Paris local time at Pable T-Shirt Factory.
