It's a staple. But if you're a purist who only rocks High OGs, you might not be swayed. For $135-ish, it's a reliable, stylish option that gets compliments and works hard in any rotation. Solid pick-up. Who should pass? If you demand the plush, broken-in feel of modern performance shoes from the get-go, maybe look elsewhere. Also, if you're a strict "Highs only" collector, this Mid SE cut won't change your mind. It serves a different purpose: consistent style and everyday reliability over hype. Comparing it to other Jordans? This Air Jordan 1 Mid SE sits right between a High and a Low. 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. Styling this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" is where it shines. This particular SE (Special Edition) pair has great color blocking that goes with "everything"—jeans, joggers, you name it. The Mid height is less bulky than the High, so it can look a bit sleeker in fits. For a $120-$130 shoe, it offers a ton of versatility. That’s a major pro in my book.
