The support is great for casual use. However, "let's be real", if you need all-day cloud-like comfort, look elsewhere. This is about style and that iconic basketball silhouette from Jordan Brand. From an on-foot perspective, the ankle collar on this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" is perfect. It's not as restrictive as a High, giving you better range of motion. The toe box has a nice, roomy fit for my wider foot. It's a confident, stable feel. I'd choose this over many trendier shoes for its sheer wearability. The design is a proven winner. Just lace 'em up and go - that's the beauty of it. Comparing this SE to a standard Mid – you're getting those unique material plays, which I appreciate! This particular "air jordan 1 mid se" uses a nice, tumbled leather. For the price? It's fair. The insole is pretty standard, nothing special. Who's it for? Someone who wants the AJ1 look without the High top price or the Low top simplicity. It's a perfect middle ground, "literally". Just size true to fit. 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.
