The Jordan 1 Mid SE Messy Room (GS) takes a classic silhouette, dresses it in eclectic colors and fabrics, and then sizes this whimsical sneaker for grade school–aged kids.


The Grade School Air Jordan 1 Mid-Top Special Edition "Messy Room" has an upper that begins with white corduroy at the padded collar. A sail-colored textured textile side panel is overlaid with blue corduroy at the heel, black patent leather at the eyestays, and light green leather with a bubble texture at the midfoot. The signature white leather toe box with perforations is overlaid with smooth maroon leather, while a red textile Nike Swoosh courses across the side panel. A padded white corduroy tongue and an orange-brown suede collar complete the construction of this upper. A white Wings logo is stamped on the collar, and a black tongue tag sports an orange-brown Jumpman.


What we appreciate most about this grade school sneaker is the classic sole that anchors it as an AJ1. A white foam midsole holds air, resting on a black rubber outsole with grooves for pivotal traction.
