The ankle collar is a bit lower than the Highs, obviously, which gives you a little more freedom. The cushioning is firm – it's that classic AJ1 feel, so don't expect crazy comfort for all-day wear right away. They need a brief break-in period. Okay, first impression: this specific Air Jordan 1 Mid SE uses some nice materials! The mix of textures on the upper is a great detail. On foot, it's light and offers good ankle mobility. Honestly, I'd choose this over a bulkier High for all-day wear. The "major" pro is its versatility. The con? Some pure OG fans might miss the High-top collar. But if you want a comfy, stylish Jordan 1 for a reasonable price? This is it. Here’s the real talk. Pro: The design is literally iconic. You're buying a piece of history. Con: The tech inside is "old". Don't expect React or Zoom comfort. It's a flat, firm ride. But for many people— myself included— that’s not a dealbreaker. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" is about the look and the vibe. If you prioritize cushioning above all else, you'll be disappointed. Simple as that. Comparing it to the recent Jordan 1 Lows, this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" offers more ankle... well, "something". It's not full support, but it feels more substantial. The design details on this SE version are clean without being too busy. I appreciate that. If you find the Lows too minimal and the Highs too much, the Mid, especially in these special editions, is your perfect middle ground.
