Is it as coveted as a Chicago? No. But for daily rotation, it’s arguably "more" practical. The materials on this specific version feel a step above some standard Mids I've seen. That's the "SE" (Special Edition) part coming through, and it’s a welcome upgrade. Just got this new 'Air Jordan 1 Mid SE' in, and I'm digging the color blocking. It's a fresh take on a classic. On foot, the profile is just so clean and photogenic. Compared to some bulkier modern sneakers, these have a sleekness I really appreciate. A major pro? They go with literally everything in my wardrobe. The break-in is minimal, which is a huge plus. Sliding these air jordan 1 mid se sneakers on... okay, immediate thoughts? The fit is pretty true to size for me. The ankle collar on this SE version feels a bit more padded than some older Mids I own. Comfort-wise, let's be real: it's a Jordan 1. You're getting that firm, classic basketball court feel, not modern squishiness. If you need plush comfort, look elsewhere. Who should skip it? Hardcore comfort seekers, as I said. Also, OG purists who only value the exact High-top design might dismiss it. If you're all about that specific High-top collar shape and history, a Mid might feel like a compromise. But – and it's a big but – the "SE" versions often bring enough unique flair to stand on their own merits.
