You get that timeless style from the Jordan series. Just go in knowing the comfort is more about support than softness. It's a wardrobe staple, not a tech marvel. Who should maybe skip it? If you need maximum comfort for all-day wear or long walks, "look elsewhere". Also, if you're a purest for the OG High-top silhouette and collar, this Mid version might feel like a compromise. And performance basketball? Please, no. That's not what this shoe is for in 2024, let's be real. Comparing it to my other Jordans — like a standard Mid or a High — the "SE" tag here usually adds value. Sometimes it's a material upgrade, sometimes a unique color combo. In this case, it feels like a step above the general release quality. You're getting a bit more for your money, which I always appreciate. The Jordan series has so many tiers, and this sits in a sweet spot. Alright, so I just unboxed the "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" in this Grey and Crimson colorway. First thing? That leather feels "solid" – not super premium, but honestly? It's way better than I expected for the $125 price tag. The shape is classic, and I'm really vibing with this two-tone grey blocking; it's clean but has some personality. As a classic "Jordan series" silhouette, it's a great canvas for a lot of fits.
