If you're used to modern, plush sneakers, the firm ride of the "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" might feel stiff. Also, the leather quality can vary by colorway. It's not a performance shoe – it's a style icon first. On foot, the fit is true to size — no surprises. The comfort level is standard for a Jordan 1: you get that familiar, supportive feel, not plush, but it's a reliable, stable base. Honestly, if you're used to the high-top OG, this Mid SE feels a bit more... "liberating" around the ankle. It’s easier to get on and off for sure. The weight is just what you'd expect — nothing heavy, nothing super light. On the flip side, who might wanna pass? Hardcore performance basketball players—this is not a modern hoop shoe. Also, comfort-first sneakerheads who prioritize pillowy softness might find the ride too firm. And if you're a purest who "only" rocks the OG High OG cuts, the Mid silhouette and SE alterations might not be for you. It's all about your personal preference and needs. 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.
