This 'SE' version often has little upgrades. My first steps felt secure; the grip is good. It's a shoe that just looks "right" with jeans or shorts. The Jordan 1 DNA is strong here. Positive: It's an accessible entry into the Jordan series. Negative: The ankle collar can feel a bit low if you're used to Highs. My verdict? If you're building a rotation, this is a versatile must-have. On foot, the 'Atmosphere Grey' colorway of this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" is way more versatile than I expected. It goes with "everything" – jeans, joggers, you name it. The leather has a nice texture that pops on camera. Compared to some other Jordan 1 Mids, the SE details on the heel add a subtle upgrade. A solid, stylish pick for under $150 that won't scream for attention. The durability on these seems good. The outsole is solid rubber, and the construction feels sturdy. For a Jordan 1 Mid, this SE (Special Edition) model offers a nice twist on the classic. It's a straightforward, no-regrets kind of pickup if you like the colorway. In conclusion, I'm happy with these. The Air Jordan 1 Mid SE does exactly what it says on the box: delivers a classic, slightly updated AJ1 experience at a mid-tier price. It's not the most exciting shoe in the world, but it's a "dependable" one. A solid 7.5/10 from me.
