Jordan 1 Mid SE

The ornate details dotted across this Jordan 1 Mid SE give it an elegant appearance. The rubber sole unit, which contains a supportive pocket of Nike Air in the heel, is completely white. On the outsole, the use of a translucent material lends it a more off-white tone, while the midsole has a pure white hue across its textured surface. Underfoot, the cream-coloured outsole brings together circular structures below the forefoot and straight grip lines in the heel for a steady walking experience.

On the upper, high-quality leather panels appear over its exterior in fine tones of black and white. The majority of the forefoot is black, from the mudguard that wraps around the toe to the overlays that lie just behind it and the eyestay that extends up away from it. The exception to this is the toe box, whose white surface is filled with lines of perforations that aerate the foot.

Meanwhile, the back half of the sneaker is mostly white, including the midfoot, the heel counter and the leather section that wraps up around the mid-top collar. Here, the exception is the collar itself, which is a sleek black. In addition, the swooshes, which stretch away from a small rectangle of white leather in the centre of the heel, are also black, bringing extra flair to the shoe’s flanks.

As well as these stunning effects, there are several pieces of commemorative branding on this sneaker. Firstly, a set of black Air Jordan Wings has been pressed into the lateral side of the collar wrap. Secondly, there is a white Jumpman logo on the black insole which is made even more striking by the black inner lining that surrounds it. Lastly, the black tongue has a white label sewn into it at the centre of which is a black Jumpman within a black diamond shape. This both celebrates the 75th anniversary of the NBA and gives this stylish sneaker its chic nickname – Diamond.
