The comfort tech is decades old. But – that's also its charm! It's a direct link to Jordan history. The SE versions offer just enough newness to feel fresh. Pros: timeless design, durable build, versatile. Cons: flat footers might need more support; it's a stiff ride initially. For a collector or a style-focused wearer, it's a yes. Sliding these on... initial fit is TTS, with that familiar snug AJ1 wrap around the midfoot. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" cushioning is firm – don't expect Boost-level comfort, it's more about support & style. They're not heavy, but you "feel" grounded. For $135, the quality here is pretty standard for a Mid. Great for short walks or casual wear, but maybe not your all-day, on-your-feet shoe. Final thoughts: Don't buy the "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" expecting a revolution. You're buying a legend, in a slightly more accessible & often more creative, "SE" format. The comfort is okay after break-in, the look is "undeniable". For the price? I think it's a fair deal. It's a solid 7.5/10 for me – a great "style" piece with some minor, expected drawbacks. Reviewing this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" "University Blue" and wow, that color pops! The nubuck-like material on this SE version adds nice texture. First wear impression: the cushioning is firm but not harsh. They feel lighter than my Retro Highs, which is a plus. On camera, the color really stands out. I'd say the "main benefit" is getting a unique material or color twist without a crazy price hike (it's $125). Who might not love it? Purists who only care about OG Highs. But for style and value, this Mid SE is a winner in my book.
