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. Who is this shoe for? Honestly, it's great for sneaker newcomers, students, or anyone wanting a durable, everyday Jordan. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid" platform is timeless. Who isn't it for? Hardcore comfort seekers or performance basketball players - this isn't a 2024 performance shoe! For casual wear and style points, though, it's a home run. It's a straightforward, no-regrets kind of purchase from the "Jordan series". Sliding these Air Jordan 1 Mid SEs on… the fit is true to size for me. The ankle collar? It's not as restrictive as the OG Highs, which I actually prefer for daily wear. They feel lighter on-foot than they look. The cushioning – let's be real – is the same familiar, firm Jordan 1 feel. It's not plush, but it's "fine" for casual use. Break-in is minimal, which is a big plus. Final thoughts: Don't buy the "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" expecting a revolution. You're buying a legend, in a slightly more accessible & often more creative, "SE" format. The comfort is okay after break-in, the look is "undeniable". For the price? I think it's a fair deal. It's a solid 7.5/10 for me – a great "style" piece with some minor, expected drawbacks.
