Air jordan 1 mid se : Who should maybe skip it? If you need maximum comfort for all-day wear or long walks, "look elsewhere" [6e20bdmk]

Also, if you're a purest for the OG High-top silhouette and collar, this Mid version might feel like a compromise. And performance basketball? Please, no. That's not what this shoe is for in 2024, let's be real. Now, the not-so-great part? The break-in. The first few wears can be a bit stiff, especially around the collar. If you're used to modern, foam-packed shoes, the air jordan 1 mid se will feel very... traditional. Also, the outsole traction is just okay for casual wear—I wouldn't ball in these on a dusty court. Now, the cons – and you gotta know this. The comfort is basic; that flat footbed gets tiring for all-day wear. Also, the leather can crease pretty noticeably? If you're super anal about keeping kicks pristine, that's a factor. It's a lifestyle shoe first. Performance? Not even a question – don't ball in these! On foot, the 'Atmosphere Grey' colorway of this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" is way more versatile than I expected. It goes with "everything" – jeans, joggers, you name it. The leather has a nice texture that pops on camera. Compared to some other Jordan 1 Mids, the SE details on the heel add a subtle upgrade. A solid, stylish pick for under $150 that won't scream for attention.
