It's a flat, court-inspired shoe. If you need arch support or are on your feet all day, consider something with more tech. Also, if you're a strict "Highs only" Jordan purist, the Mid cut might feel like a compromise. First lace-up of this 'Air Jordan 1 Mid SE'—feels familiar and reliable. The mid-top gives a bit more ankle presence than a low, but it’s easier to wear than a high-top for some. My favorite part is the classic design language; it just works. Downside? The outsole is flat, so not the best for long walks on hard surfaces. Perfect for style-focused folks, not for comfort-maximizers. 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. Who is this for? Honestly, it's perfect for someone who wants the AJ1 look without the high-top price or commitment. Great for beginners in the sneaker game. Who is it "not" for? Hardcore OG purists who only rock Highs, or people who prioritize max cushioning above all else.
