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. Here’s the deal with the 'Air Jordan 1 Mid SE': it’s an accessible entry into the Jordan series. At roughly $125, it’s a solid option. On foot, they’re light enough and the collar doesn’t bite. Visually, they pop without being too loud. Great for starters or those who want multiple colorways. Hardcore OG fans might still prefer the Highs, but for most? This is a fantastic, everyday shoe. So, who is this for? Honestly, it's perfect for the style-focused sneakerhead who values the look over cutting-edge cushioning. It's for someone who wants that iconic Jordan 1 aesthetic — in a Mid SE cut — without the crazy resale price of some Highs. Great first Jordan, great beater pair, great for casual collectors. On feet now... and it's exactly what you'd expect from a Jordan 1 Mid. The fit is true to size, offering that familiar, secure lockdown around the ankle and forefoot. Comfort-wise? Let's be real - it's not a plush, modern sneaker. The cushioning is firm, which I actually don't mind for all-day wear. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" is more about style than supreme comfort, and that's totally fine for its purpose. It's a timeless look, after all.
