That initial stiffness eases up a bit. I appreciate the secure lockdown from the laces — my foot doesn't slide around. Is it a performance basketball shoe in 2024? No, and it's not trying to be. It's a lifestyle piece. And as that? This particular "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" executes its job very, very well. Alright, so I just got my hands on the "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" in the "Light Smoke Grey" colorway. First off, the materials feel pretty decent for the $135 price point - the leather has a nice texture! Unboxing it, the shape is classic Jordan 1, no surprises there... but this grey and black combo is super clean and versatile. It's a great entry into the "Jordan series" if you want something low-key but iconic. For me, it's a solid pick for a casual wear rotation. Final thoughts: This isn't a "game-changing" review because the shoe isn't trying to be. The Air Jordan 1 Mid SE knows exactly what it is: a more accessible, often more creatively designed version of an icon. For the price, you get great style, decent quality, and that timeless Jordan vibe. It earns a spot in my collection for pure wearability. Don't sleep on the SE models! Putting these Jordans on for the first time, the fit is pretty TTS for me. The comfort is... "honestly", it's a Jordan 1. You're getting that firm, supportive feel – not super plush. If you're used to modern cushioning, the Air Jordan 1 Mid SE might feel a bit stiff at first. But for everyday wear, it's totally fine. The collar padding is decent.
