Double Tap to Zoom

No matter what the month may be, whatever the weather, we can always rely on Ben Affleck to deliver two things: his signature mean grimace and a slick pair of sneakers; Nike Air Jordans, to be precise.

The rollout of the star-studded AIR directed by Batfleck himself has proven time and time again that the man packs a mean Air Jordan collection.

While it's hard not to stay focused on his facial expressions, which are honestly iconic at this point, a peek at his feet will often leave you green with envy.

Although we've tracked his journey as the world's most unexpected sneakerhead for some time, the past few months have proven that his allegiance lay with Michael Jordan's signature line-up; obviously, directing and starring in a biographical film about Jordan Brand helps.

Between his link-ups with Chris Tucker and an uncharacteristically beaming smile, we've seen the star step out in everything from the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low to the Air Jordan 3 Winterized "Archaeo Brown."

This time around, grit-teethed Ben opted for what appears to be a pair of Nike Air Jordan 1 Mid "Chicago" from 2020.

We're all familiar with the age-old Mid debate – are they really Jordan 1s? Are they cool? Do they check out?

Wherever you toe the line, we can all agree that Ben Affleck manages to pull the pair off, pairing them with a pair of black pinstripe pants, knitwear, and a black peacoat, doing smart casual as he does.

With AIR only two weeks away, we can only assume that more grit teeth and Jordans are to come.
