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. Who is this for? Someone who wants the Jordan 1 look without the High-top price or hassle. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" bridges that gap perfectly. Not for who? Performance basketball players or comfort chasers. It's a lifestyle shoe, period. My final take? For $135, it's a dependable, stylish option that earns its place in a casual wardrobe. Thumbs up from me. Comparing it to other Jordans? Well, if you want the classic high-top look and feel, go for the OG High. But this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" offers a more accessible price – around $130 USD – and a slightly different vibe. It's less restrictive for daily wear. For many, it's the perfect balance between style and practicality. Who should skip it? Hardcore comfort seekers, or people who need ankle support for sports. If you "only" want the "original" High OG cut, this isn't it. But for an everyday, iconic sneaker, this Mid SE version, part of the Jordan series, is a fantastic option.
