The insole is pretty basic, so the footbed feel is quite flat—just setting expectations! The design, however, is what you're here for. This particular SE version has some nice contrasting stitching that adds character. Pros? Timeless silhouette, relatively affordable entry into Jordans. Cons? Arch support is minimal. Honestly, I think these are perfect for collectors or casual wearers who prioritize aesthetics. If you have specific orthopedic needs, I'd say proceed with caution or add your own insoles. Here’s the real talk. Pro: The design is literally iconic. You're buying a piece of history. Con: The tech inside is "old". Don't expect React or Zoom comfort. It's a flat, firm ride. But for many people— myself included— that’s not a dealbreaker. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" is about the look and the vibe. If you prioritize cushioning above all else, you'll be disappointed. Simple as that. Let's break down the pros. Biggest advantage of this Air Jordan 1 Mid SE? Style & versatility, 100%. It's an icon. The price, around $130, is relatively fair for the brand. They’re also "usually" easier to get than hyped releases. For a casual, fashion-forward sneaker, it checks a lot of boxes for many people. Unboxing first impression: This "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" "Court Purple" has a really rich, deep color. The materials feel consistent and the stitching is clean. Once laced up, you get that locked-down, supportive feel Jordan 1s are known for. It's not a "comfort" sneaker in the modern sense, but it's not uncomfortable either. Compared to a Jordan 1 Low, I prefer the support of this Mid SE for all-day wear. At $125 USD, it's a strong pick for fans of bold color blocks. Not for those seeking ultra-plush feel, though.
