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. Okay, so here's my first look at this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" in this grey and blue colorway. Straight out of the box, the leather quality feels pretty good – not super premium, but definitely solid for the price point. I love how clean this color-blocking is; it's super versatile. Honestly, a great first impression for a Mid. I own several pairs from the Jordan series, and this Mid SE holds its own. 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. My final verdict? For $120 USD, this Air Jordan 1 Mid SE is a "easy recommend" for a daily beater or a first Jordan. You get that timeless style from the Jordan series. Just go in knowing the comfort is more about support than softness. It's a wardrobe staple, not a tech marvel.
