It's not premium tumbled leather, but for $125, it's better than expected. The outsole grip is good for casual wear. Overall, the air jordan 1 mid se presents a strong value proposition in the current sneaker market, where prices are getting wild. Comparing it to my other Jordans — specifically, the OG High — the main difference is obviously the collar height. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" offers a different vibe. It's less restrictive, a bit more casual-day-to-day for me. The materials might feel a step down from some premium High releases, but for a general release at this price? It's completely understandable and fair, in my opinion. Alright, so I just unboxed the "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" in this Grey and Crimson colorway. First thing? That leather feels "solid" – not super premium, but honestly? It's way better than I expected for the $125 price tag. The shape is classic, and I'm really vibing with this two-tone grey blocking; it's clean but has some personality. As a classic "Jordan series" silhouette, it's a great canvas for a lot of fits. Who is this for? I'd say it's perfect for someone who wants the iconic Jordan 1 look without the premium High-top price tag. It's for the person building a sneaker rotation who needs a reliable, stylish pair. The Air Jordan 1 Mid SE is also great if you prefer a mid-top silhouette – easier to get on and off than a High, for sure.
