It's great for beginners, or if you just want a colorway that pops for casual summer wear. Think of it as a solid, everyday rotation shoe. Here's the potential downside, though: the materials. On my 'Bleached Coral' pair, it's mostly synthetic leather. It's fine, but it won't crease or age as nicely as premium leather. For some collectors, that's a deal-breaker. For a daily beater? It's totally acceptable, especially for the price. Alright, let's get into these Air Jordan 1 Mid SE. First up, the colorway on this pair is a classic Chicago-inspired vibe, and straight out of the box, the leather feels decent for the price point—which is around $135 USD. It's the iconic Jordan 1 silhouette, no surprises there. On foot, the fit is true to size, but the cushioning is firm (as expected). It's a timeless look, but if you need all-day comfort, know that this isn't a modern performance sneaker. Great for style, not for running errands all day. 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.
