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. A real downside for some? The comfort tech is dated. If you're used to modern, plush sneakers, the firm ride of the "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" might feel stiff. Also, the leather quality can vary by colorway. It's not a performance shoe – it's a style icon first. Who should "skip" this pair? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all, this isn't it. Also, if you're a Jordan purist who only rocks High OGs, the Mid cut might not do it for you. And for true performance basketball? Obviously, look at modern sig shoes instead. Know what you're buying! Okay, straight out of the box: this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" "Black/White" is the definition of a wardrobe staple. You can't go wrong. The leather is smooth and the build feels sturdy. On my feet, they're true to size with a comfortable, snug fit. Visually, the Mid height might be the most versatile of all the AJ1s. An "advantage" is the timeless design that never goes out of style. A "potential issue"? Some collectors might overlook it for more exclusive models. But for $125? This is a no-brainer first Jordan or a reliable daily wear.
