.. okay, immediate thoughts? The fit is pretty true to size for me. The ankle collar on this SE version feels a bit more padded than some older Mids I own. Comfort-wise, let's be real: it's a Jordan 1. You're getting that firm, classic basketball court feel, not modern squishiness. If you need plush comfort, look elsewhere. Comparing these to other Jordans? Versus the Air Jordan 1 High, you lose some ankle support and that "classic" height – some purists will hate that. Versus a bulkier model like a Jordan 4? These are way more low-profile and easy to style. For the price (under $130), the "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" offers a great entry point into the Jordan series without breaking the bank. It's a simplified icon. Comparing it to my other Jordans — like a standard Mid or a High — the "SE" tag here usually adds value. Sometimes it's a material upgrade, sometimes a unique color combo. In this case, it feels like a step above the general release quality. You're getting a bit more for your money, which I always appreciate. The Jordan series has so many tiers, and this sits in a sweet spot. So, would I buy it? Yeah, I already did. It fills that “go-to white sneaker” slot with more personality than a basic trainer. It’s comfortable "enough", and the styling is effortless. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" isn't the most exciting release, but it's a seriously solid one. Don't sleep on it just because it's not a High OG. Sometimes the simpler picks are the best.
