The Air Jordan 1 Mid SE 'Paris YMCA' is a distinctive sneaker that pays homage to the world's oldest basketball court, located in a Paris YMCA. This model is part of Jordan Brand's effort to infuse sneakers with meaningful narratives. It features a color palette of earthy browns, creams, and reddish-browns, echoing the dark wooden construction of the historic court. The design blends past and present, with the heel and tongue tag adorned with a woven pattern resembling the court's herringbone wooden floor. A special hangtag reads "Tribute to the oldest basketball court in Europe, Paris 1893," acknowledging the court's historical significance. The sneaker is completed with a classic white midsole and a durable brown rubber outsole, offering both style and functionality.
