Air Jordan 1 Mid SE Brown Elephant

Elephant print is the most recognisable material code Jordan Brand owns. Tinker Hatfield introduced the grey cracked pattern on the third model, the same shoe that put the Jumpman on the tongue and turned the line from a yearly basketball release into a design series, and the print now signals the brand entirely on its own without any logo attached. Borrowing it back onto the Air Jordan 1 is a conversation between the two most important shoes in the catalogue: Peter Moore's original outline from 1985 wearing the pattern that Hatfield used to replace it. In brown rather than the original grey, the print reads warmer and less graphic, which suits the Mid's role as the everyday cut.
