First impression? The materials feel solid for the price point—around $125 USD—and the shape is that classic, timeless Jordan 1 silhouette we all love. It’s not the OG high, but the Mid cut is super versatile. Putting them on, they feel true to size with a snug, supportive fit right out of the box. The ankle collar is comfortable, no breaking in needed. Okay, first impression: this specific Air Jordan 1 Mid SE uses some nice materials! The mix of textures on the upper is a great detail. On foot, it's light and offers good ankle mobility. Honestly, I'd choose this over a bulkier High for all-day wear. The "major" pro is its versatility. The con? Some pure OG fans might miss the High-top collar. But if you want a comfy, stylish Jordan 1 for a reasonable price? This is it. Sliding my foot in... yeah, the fit is true to size for me. Initial feel? It's a Jordan 1, so don't expect clouds. It's firm, supportive – that classic court feel. The "ankle" padding is decent, and the lockdown through the midfoot is good. If you're used to modern, super-soft sneakers, the break-in period here might feel a bit... stiff. But for me, that's part of the Jordan 1 DNA. Is it worth the $135? Honestly, for a daily beater or a staple in your rotation, absolutely. You're getting a piece of sneaker history with a fresh update. The Mid SE models are usually easier to cop than the hyped Highs, which is a huge plus. My verdict? If you love the AJ1 look but want something slightly different and more accessible, this is a fantastic choice. Don't sleep on the SE details!
