My first impression? That aged midsole and the slightly different leather textures give it a premium, lived-in look right out of the gate—it's a standout in the Mid lineup. The upper feels supportive, but let's be real: the cushioning is classic Jordan 1, which means it's pretty basic. A fantastic, versatile option for your rotation under $150, but don't expect Boost or React-level softness. Perfect for casual wear, not for long walks. Who is this for? Honestly, the "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" is perfect for someone new to sneakers, or for a daily wear beater. It's less commitment than a High. Not for you if you crave max comfort or super-premium leathers. It's a style-first, heritage sneaker – and it does that job "very" well for the cost. Comparing it to other Jordans? Well, if you want the classic high-top look and feel, go for the OG High. But this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" offers a more accessible price – around $130 USD – and a slightly different vibe. It's less restrictive for daily wear. For many, it's the perfect balance between style and practicality. Okay, so here's my first look at this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" in this grey and blue colorway. Straight out of the box, the leather quality feels pretty good – not super premium, but definitely solid for the price point. I love how clean this color-blocking is; it's super versatile. Honestly, a great first impression for a Mid.
