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. 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. What's up, everyone! Got this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" in today. This specific "Carbon Fiber" edition has some nice textured panels. My first thought? It's a sleek, all-black shoe with just enough detail. Wearing them, they feel a bit lighter than some older Jordan 1s I own. The major "pro" is versatility; you can match these with almost anything. The "con"? At $125, some might want more premium materials. If you need a foundational black sneaker in your rotation, this Mid SE deserves a look. Now, a potential con. The ankle support. If you’re used to the locked-in feel of a High-top Jordan 1, the "Mid SE" will feel noticeably less secure. It’s not for serious ball anymore (not that any 1s really are). Also, some purists just don’t vibe with the Mid silhouette. It’s a personal preference thing, but it’s worth noting.
