The Considered BB Mid released alongside the low-top version, both early designs from the legendary Considered line. The shoe has a fairly minimalist look; materials aren't hidden by heavy overlays or embellishments. There's a clean utilitarian feel, consistent with the project's sustainability mission. While it lacks the signature Considered woven detailing, it has its own set of memorable characteristics.

The BB Mid has essentially the same design as the BB low, but with a larger engraved swoosh. It employs an inside-out construction with exposed seams, making the stitching a prominent part of the design. The upper sits atop a single-piece molded sole unit, and is comprised of a soft, vegetable-tanned suede sourced from tanneries that recycle wastewater to minimize environmental toxins. The outsole was designed to lock together, using water-based cements eliminating the need for toxic solvent-based adhesives. Environmentally preferred rubber was used in parts of the outsole, incorporating Nike Grind material – scavenged from leftover factory scraps. Like other early Considered models, the BB uses hemp laces with leather anglets in place of the usual plastic lace tips. The heel features a braided seam — a design element also found on the Chukka Boot, Mule, Mowabb, and CVT.
