It's lighter than a High Top and easier to get on and off. The value here is strong – you're getting the iconic look for less than the High OG versions. For a rotation shoe, it's a smart pick. What's up, everyone! Got this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" in today. This specific "Carbon Fiber" edition has some nice textured panels. My first thought? It's a sleek, all-black shoe with just enough detail. Wearing them, they feel a bit lighter than some older Jordan 1s I own. The major "pro" is versatility; you can match these with almost anything. The "con"? At $125, some might want more premium materials. If you need a foundational black sneaker in your rotation, this Mid SE deserves a look. Reviewing this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" "University Blue" and wow, that color pops! The nubuck-like material on this SE version adds nice texture. First wear impression: the cushioning is firm but not harsh. They feel lighter than my Retro Highs, which is a plus. On camera, the color really stands out. I'd say the "main benefit" is getting a unique material or color twist without a crazy price hike (it's $125). Who might not love it? Purists who only care about OG Highs. But for style and value, this Mid SE is a winner in my book. Considering the price point of $135, the value is here. You're buying into an iconic design with decent materials. It's not a hype release, and that's okay! The "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" is a workhorse sneaker. The potential con? Some might find the design "too basic" compared to collabs. But sometimes, basic is best. It's a foundational piece for any sneaker collection, in my honest opinion.
