First impression? This "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" colorway is "clean". The materials feel solid for the price point—around $125—and that classic Jordan 1 silhouette is just timeless. It’s not the High, but for a Mid, the shape looks good right out of the box. The leather has a nice grain to it. A solid start, honestly. Alright, let's get into this "first look" — the box is standard, but the shoe inside? Man, the color blocking on this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" is crisp! The mix of materials, like that smooth leather and the subtle texture on the panels, gives it a premium feel right out of the gate. For a Mid, the shape looks solid. It's that classic Jordan 1 silhouette we all love, just in a slightly more accessible package — and priced around $130 USD? Not bad at "at all" for a Jordan release these days. Here's the potential downside, though: the materials. On my 'Bleached Coral' pair, it's mostly synthetic leather. It's fine, but it won't crease or age as nicely as premium leather. For some collectors, that's a deal-breaker. For a daily beater? It's totally acceptable, especially for the price. So, is it worth it? At $125 USD, I'd say yes, "especially" if you find it on sale. You're getting that iconic Jordan 1 look and feel without the crazy resell prices. The Mid SE offers a fresh take on a classic. For a first Jordan or a reliable beater, it's a smart pickup, 100%.
