On my 'Bleached Coral' pair, it's mostly synthetic leather. It's fine, but it won't crease or age as nicely as premium leather. For some collectors, that's a deal-breaker. For a daily beater? It's totally acceptable, especially for the price. On foot, the 'Atmosphere Grey' colorway of this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" is way more versatile than I expected. It goes with "everything" – jeans, joggers, you name it. The leather has a nice texture that pops on camera. Compared to some other Jordan 1 Mids, the SE details on the heel add a subtle upgrade. A solid, stylish pick for under $150 that won't scream for attention. After wearing these all day, my feet were... okay. Not sore, but I definitely noticed the firm ride. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" is about style, first and foremost. The good news? They break in. After a few wears, they mold to your foot better. For the price, you're paying for the legacy and the look. Just don't expect cloud-like comfort straight out of the box – manage those expectations! Comparing this SE to a standard Mid – you're getting those unique material plays, which I appreciate! This particular "air jordan 1 mid se" uses a nice, tumbled leather. For the price? It's fair. The insole is pretty standard, nothing special. Who's it for? Someone who wants the AJ1 look without the High top price or the Low top simplicity. It's a perfect middle ground, "literally". Just size true to fit.
