Also, if you're a Jordan purist who only rocks High OGs, the Mid cut might not do it for you. And for true performance basketball? Obviously, look at modern sig shoes instead. Know what you're buying! Alright, so first impressions of this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" in the 'Black/White' colorway – it's clean, like "really" clean. The leather feels decent, nothing super premium, but the construction is solid. Unboxing it, you get that classic Jordan 1 silhouette – just in a Mid cut. For around $130, it's a solid entry point into the Jordan series, honestly. Okay, opening the box on this 'Black, Gym Red, White' Air Jordan 1 Mid SE. The color blocking is just fire—it's such a clean, wearable colorway. On foot, they feel secure, and the ankle collar gives good support (a signature of the Jordan 1 series). Compared to an AJ1 High OG, you're getting a slightly more accessible price and easier on/off. Downside? That classic flat sole offers minimal impact protection. Worth it for the style? For me, absolutely. If comfort is your #1 priority, you might want to consider something else entirely. Final verdict? I think this Air Jordan 1 Mid SE is a "good" pickup for what it is. It's not the most exciting release, but it’s reliable style. For $130 USD, you get a durable, iconic sneaker that works with jeans, shorts, whatever. I’d recommend it as a solid, everyday beater kind of shoe.
