Major advantage? "Everyday versatility." This Air Jordan 1 Mid SE colorway goes with almost anything. The construction is simple and durable – no crazy materials to baby. It's also generally more available than limited Highs. If you want that Jordan 1 look for daily kicks, this is a fantastic, low-stress option. No buyer's remorse here. 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. Comparing it to other Jordans? Well, if you want the classic high-top look and feel, go for the OG High. But this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" offers a more accessible price – around $130 USD – and a slightly different vibe. It's less restrictive for daily wear. For many, it's the perfect balance between style and practicality. Who should maybe skip it? If you need maximum comfort for all-day wear or long walks, "look elsewhere". Also, if you're a purest for the OG High-top silhouette and collar, this Mid version might feel like a compromise. And performance basketball? Please, no. That's not what this shoe is for in 2024, let's be real.
