Though the Air Jordan 1 proper may have fallen off its perch as the defining sneaker culture model, the Air Jordan 1 Mid continues to excel in a more subterranean pocket. Serving up palatable looks at an accessible price, all with metronome-like consistency, it’s apparently time to switch things up for Beaverton creatives, as the latest Mid sports some intriguing new details.
The first piece worthy of mention is the pronounced, metallic Wings logo that sits on the collar, flipping the typical debossed counterpart entirely on its head. Switching to the bottom of the shoe, the sole swaps from a typical matte rubber construction to a translucent one, delivering an earthy anchor for the palette that plays out up top. Speaking of, the blend of “Sea Glass” and “Olive Green” deliveries Fall sensibility, but even if we have to wait longer for this pair’s arrival, matches the Spring season simultaneously.
Look for the Air Jordan 1 Mid SE “Sea Glass” on Nike.com and store shelves in the coming weeks. The premium touches here may increase retail a bit, but something in the usual $125 range is likely.
