Jordan 1 Mid SE LA to Chicago

A dynamic and storytelling masterpiece that bridges the gap between two of basketball’s most iconic cities, blending a vibrant West Coast aesthetic with the legendary grit of Chicago in a transformative, high-energy design.

The Jordan 1 Mid SE "LA to Chicago" celebrates the deep connection between these two basketball meccas. It includes a unique "University Gold" and "Court Purple" leather upper, paying homage to the bright lights and heritage of Los Angeles. As a Special Edition (SE) release, this model is designed with a "wear-away" or "reveal" concept—as the top layer of paint naturally wears down through use, it reveals a classic "Chicago" Red and Black base underneath. This 2026 edition captures the journey of a legend, offering a customizable look that evolves with every step.

• Transformative Wear-Away Upper: Features a unique top-layer finish that gradually rubs off to reveal a hidden colorway, allowing for a personalized, lived-in aesthetic.
• Dual-City Heritage Palette: Transitions from the vibrant Purple and Gold of Los Angeles to the iconic Red, Black, and White of Chicago.
• Premium Leather Construction: Built with high-grade leather panels that provide a structured, supportive fit while ensuring the "reveal" process looks intentional and artistic.
• Padded Mid-Top Collar: Offers the classic AJ1 Mid silhouette with enhanced ankle support and a plush feel for all-day comfort.
• Encapsulated Air-Sole Unit: Houses a lightweight Air unit in the heel, providing the dependable impact protection and responsive cushioning that defined an era.
• Solid Rubber Traction: Equipped with a durable rubber cupsole featuring a classic pivot-circle tread pattern for excellent multi-surface grip.
