You're buying a legend, in a slightly more accessible & often more creative, "SE" format. The comfort is okay after break-in, the look is "undeniable". For the price? I think it's a fair deal. It's a solid 7.5/10 for me – a great "style" piece with some minor, expected drawbacks. In conclusion, I'm happy with these. The Air Jordan 1 Mid SE does exactly what it says on the box: delivers a classic, slightly updated AJ1 experience at a mid-tier price. It's not the most exciting shoe in the world, but it's a "dependable" one. A solid 7.5/10 from me. Alright, so I finally got my hands on these Air Jordan 1 Mid SE sneakers, and the unboxing was solid. The 'Black Satin' colorway is super clean in person – way better than the stock photos. You get that classic AJ1 Mid silhouette, but the materials feel... nice? For around $120 USD, I was honestly impressed with the initial quality. No glue stains or anything funky. On foot, this Mid SE version looks sharp. The color blocking is classic, and the satin panels add just a "little" something extra without being too loud. Compared to the Highs, the Mid cut is just more wearable for me day-to-day. It's a versatile shoe, period. You can dress it up or down easily.
