It's a staple. But if you're a purist who only rocks High OGs, you might not be swayed. For $135-ish, it's a reliable, stylish option that gets compliments and works hard in any rotation. Solid pick-up. Now, the not-so-great part? The break-in. The first few wears can be a bit stiff, especially around the collar. If you're used to modern, foam-packed shoes, the air jordan 1 mid se will feel very... traditional. Also, the outsole traction is just okay for casual wear—I wouldn't ball in these on a dusty court. My final take? I'm impressed for what it is. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" delivers exactly what it promises: the iconic look in a more accessible package. It's not trying to be the High. For ~$125, you get a well-built, versatile sneaker. Would I recommend it? Yes – if your priorities are style and value over "collector" status. A solid 8/10 for the average wearer. Comparing it to other models— if you find the Retro High a bit too tall or formal-looking, the Mid is a fantastic alternative. This "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" sits right in that sweet spot. The break-in period is minimal, and the weight is just right. Major pro? Versatility. A potential con? If you need max cushioning for long walks, look elsewhere. This is for style and heritage.
