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. The silhouette… man, it's just timeless. This "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" captures the essence. The build quality on my pair is good – no glue stains or major flaws. A potential downside? The toe box creasing. It's gonna happen – it's part of the charm for some, a deal-breaker for others. For me, it adds character to a classic design. Final verdict? For around $125, this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" is a "great" value. You get a well-built, stylish shoe from the iconic Jordan series that’s easy to wear. It’s not the most innovative or comfortable shoe ever, but it does its job perfectly. I’d cop for the collection and regular wear. Unboxing this pair, the shape is on point. The Air Jordan 1 Mid SE has a slightly more modern proportion, I feel. Wearing them, the heel lockdown is surprisingly good! For a Mid, it holds well. Aesthetically, it’s a cleaner look than a busy, tech sneaker. Compared to an AJ1 Low, it offers a bit more structure. Best for: someone who wants that iconic look with everyday comfort. Not for: someone seeking advanced cushioning. It's a style-first shoe, and it excels.
