Straight out of the box, the leather quality feels pretty good – not super premium, but definitely solid for the price point. I love how clean this color-blocking is; it's super versatile. Honestly, a great first impression for a Mid. For the price? The Air Jordan 1 Mid SE is a strong contender. The pros? Timeless design, durable construction, and versatile style. The potential con? That classic AJ1 break-in period—the first few wears can be a bit stiff. If you're new to the Jordan series, just know that's normal. It molds to your foot over time. Final verdict on the Air Jordan 1 Mid SE. After wearing them, I appreciate the classic look and secure fit. It's a shoe that gets better with a little wear. Compared to the High OG version, you sacrifice a bit of that iconic height for convenience. At the end of the day, for around $135, you're getting a piece of sneaker history with some modern tweaks. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves the Jordan 1 shape but wants a more accessible option. Not recommended if you're seeking cutting-edge comfort or tech. Hope this honest review helps! On foot now— honestly, it's a Jordan 1. The comfort is "fine", but not amazing. It's a firm, supportive ride, which I personally like for all-day wear. Compared to a Retro High, the "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" has that same iconic look just... shorter. The ankle collar is less restrictive, which can be a pro or con depending on your style. Great for a casual, classic sneaker feel.
