Although they made their debut on the hardwood, the adidas Campus shoes were quickly adopted just about everywhere else. With this pair, we move the iconic silhouette in another direction and add modern materials, colors and proportions. They’re done with a premium leather upper lined with soft textile terry fabric, with all of it riding on an off-white midsole — a clear connect to the Campus legacy.
The Jordan 1 Mid SE Dark Chocolate features a light brown Durabuck upper with dark brown suede overlays and black Swooshes. From there, hiking shoe-inspired laces and a reflective patch at the heel complete the design.
In September 1985, Nike and MJ launched the Air Jordan 1. A month later, they were “banned” by the league. Although the AJ1 is a sports and streetwear icon now, back when the sneakers debuted, they were highly disruptive and instantly revolutionary. While the league may have tried to stop MJ from lacing up in the original AJ1, they couldn’t do anything to temper the fans, so “They Can’t Stop You From Wearing Them” became a defiant rallying cry. Now, the spirit of the sneaker is brought to life through the ‘Rebellionaire’ Air Jordan 1, which features that same not-so-subtle reminder printed all over the style’s upper, and includes a Red “X” mark on the heel to commemorate the birth of the banned legend.
