Latest Pickup: Air Jordan 1 Low SE ‘Elephant Blue Tint’

As a Jordan fan from the very beginning, this colourway immediately caught my eye – especially since it's so clean and unique, like the new Air Jordan 1 Low SE ‘Elephant Blue Tint’. As soon as the shoe was online, it was clear: I had to have it in my rotation. The mix of summery pastel blue and the iconic elephant print just works – modern, but with clear retro vibes. Perfect for summer and at the same time a tribute to true Jordan history.

The famous elephant print was designed by Tinker Hatfield for the Air Jordan 3 in 1988 and has been one of the most distinctive design elements in the Jordan universe ever since. It's not often seen on the AJ1 – and that's exactly what makes releases like this one so special. The grey elephant patterns on the Swoosh and overlays give the sneaker a rough, textured look that perfectly complements the otherwise very clean design.

‘Blue Tint’ is not just any colour. The pastel blue on the toebox, quarter and inner lining gives the sneaker a fresh, almost icy touch. The combination with white laces, grey elephant print and white midsole creates a harmonious overall look that is very stylish.

In addition to the striking colour blocking, the sneaker impresses with its high-quality materials. The upper material is a mixture of genuine and synthetic leather, complemented by a canvas tongue with a white tongue label. Of course, the classic Wings logo on the heel is a must – here also in a soft ‘blue tint’ that blends perfectly into the overall look. Under the hood: Air cushioning, as you know it from the AJ1. So comfort doesn't fall by the wayside.

I took it in my normal size – fits perfectly. The Air Jordan 1 Low SE ‘Elephant Blue Tint’ is a successful mix of Jordan history and summer vibes. If you like details and are looking for a lightweight, stylish shoe for warmer days, this is the one for you.

The sneaker is currently available online from Nike for €140 – full size range, as of now. You can find the link below.
