For $135, it's a relatively accessible entry into the Jordan family. The build quality seems consistent; no glue stains I can see. If you're new to sneakers and want a timeless design with a fresh twist, this is a safe & stylish bet. Just don't expect Ultraboost comfort, "obviously". 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. So, who is this for? Honestly, it's perfect for the style-focused sneakerhead who values the look over cutting-edge cushioning. It's for someone who wants that iconic Jordan 1 aesthetic — in a Mid SE cut — without the crazy resale price of some Highs. Great first Jordan, great beater pair, great for casual collectors. Just put these 'Air Jordan 1 Mid SE' on, and yeah—they’re stiff at first, like most Jordans. That's not a bad thing; it means structure. The look is undeniably classic. Compared to newer, techier models, these are about heritage. Big pro: endless outfit combinations. Con: they’re not "running errand all day" comfortable. Ideal for collectors and style-minded people, less so for pure comfort seekers.
