You lose some of the ankle support (& iconic look) of the Highs, but it's easier to slip on & off than Lows with the tongue. For $135, it's a more accessible entry into the Jordan 1 family, no doubt. Here’s the deal with the 'Air Jordan 1 Mid SE': it’s an accessible entry into the Jordan series. At roughly $125, it’s a solid option. On foot, they’re light enough and the collar doesn’t bite. Visually, they pop without being too loud. Great for starters or those who want multiple colorways. Hardcore OG fans might still prefer the Highs, but for most? This is a fantastic, everyday shoe. Sliding these on for the first time... yeah, it's the familiar Jordan 1 experience. The ankle collar "immediately" gives you that secure, locked-in feel. It's not a super-cushioned ride—let's be real, it's an AJ1—but that's part of its charm, right? The SE version doesn't really change the core footbed. If you're looking for Boost or Zoom comfort, this ain't it. But for that iconic style and support? The "air jordan 1 mid se" delivers exactly what you'd expect. So, who is this for? If you want your first pair of Jordans without breaking the bank, this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" is a perfect entry point. It's for the casual wearer who appreciates the heritage. Who is it "not" for? Hardcore comfort seekers or folks who only collect OG High tops. It serves a specific, style-focused purpose.
