My first impression? That aged midsole and the slightly different leather textures give it a premium, lived-in look right out of the gate—it's a standout in the Mid lineup. The upper feels supportive, but let's be real: the cushioning is classic Jordan 1, which means it's pretty basic. A fantastic, versatile option for your rotation under $150, but don't expect Boost or React-level softness. Perfect for casual wear, not for long walks. Final verdict? If you need a go-to, reliable pair of kicks that will always look good, this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" is a yes. It's a staple. For $135, you get a piece of sneaker history that's easy to wear. Don't buy it expecting revolutionary comfort. Do buy it for unmatched versatility and that classic Jordan 1 vibe. It's a recommended pick from me for sure. Comparing these to other Jordans? Versus the Air Jordan 1 High, you lose some ankle support and that "classic" height – some purists will hate that. Versus a bulkier model like a Jordan 4? These are way more low-profile and easy to style. For the price (under $130), the "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" offers a great entry point into the Jordan series without breaking the bank. It's a simplified icon. Final thoughts? The 'Air Jordan 1 Mid SE' is a workhorse. The build is good, the styling is timeless, and the price is fair. On foot, they offer a confident, classic feel. They're not going to revolutionize comfort, but that's not the point. I recommend them for any sneaker fan wanting a versatile staple. However, if your priority is cloud-like cushioning above all else, you might want to explore other options in the market.
