This 'SE' version often has little upgrades. My first steps felt secure; the grip is good. It's a shoe that just looks "right" with jeans or shorts. The Jordan 1 DNA is strong here. Positive: It's an accessible entry into the Jordan series. Negative: The ankle collar can feel a bit low if you're used to Highs. My verdict? If you're building a rotation, this is a versatile must-have. 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. Final verdict? For around $125, this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" is a "great" value. You get a well-built, stylish shoe from the iconic Jordan series that’s easy to wear. It’s not the most innovative or comfortable shoe ever, but it does its job perfectly. I’d cop for the collection and regular wear. Who's this for? Perfect for someone entering the sneaker game, wanting that Jordan 1 aesthetic on a budget. Also great for seasoned collectors looking for a clean, wearable colorway. The Air Jordan 1 Mid SE is a workhorse shoe—if you need a go-to pair that looks good daily, this is it.
