Unboxing, the colors are vibrant! The SE (Special Edition) often means unique materials or tweaks. On foot, they're comfortable enough, but remember – it's a flat, firm ride. Great for standing/walking, not for running or long comfort sessions. That's just the Jordan 1 DNA. Let's talk about versatility. This "air jordan 1 mid se" might be one of the easiest shoes to style. Jeans, shorts, joggers – it all works. Compared to bulkier modern sneakers, it has a sleeker profile. The main pro is its iconic style. The con? Again, that break-in period and firm ride. It's a trade-off I'm personally willing to make for the aesthetics. 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. 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.
