Air Jordan 1 Mid SE “Coconut Milk/Legend Pink/Sail” FQ1926-161

While the saturation of Air Jordan 1 releases can sometimes make even the cleanest colorway fall a bit flat, you can never fully count out Mike’s first signature. Its iconic construction means that if any successive edition hits the right notes, the model can instantly recapture the appeal that led so many to fall in love with it. The “Special Edition” subtitle in the latest edition of the Air Jordan 1 Mid tips off that something elevated is on tap, a motif driven home by the overall design choices on this “Legend Pink” colorway.

In terms of hardware, it’s a three-pronged attack; delicate textiles land on the collar, traditional leather handles the lacestays and suede dominates nearly everywhere else. The color choices here mirror that “rule of three,” and the soft neutrals on display here represent an inversion of the “Neapolitan” colorway that’s painted everything from the Nike Dunk Low to the Air Jordan 11. It succeeds once again in providing plenty of seasonal appeal. Yet the materials at work here truly steal the show, presenting some rarely seen touches that set this pair apart from the pack.

The Air Jordan 1 Mid SE “Legend Pink” is available now via JD Sports and Finish Line. Direct links under “Where To Buy” will land you right on product pages for either site if you’re looking to pick up a pair of your own.
