Also, if you're strictly an "OG Highs only" sneakerhead, the "Mid" silhouette might not be for you. And if you want loud, statement-making colors, this specific Grey/Crimson pair might be too muted. It's a subtle, everyday shoe. Know what you're buying: a classic, not a revolution. The main "advantage" of this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE", for me, is versatility. It's a wardrobe staple. The quality is consistent for the price point. A possible downside? The outsole is flat and can be slippery on certain wet surfaces - just a heads up. It's a lifestyle shoe first, "not" a performance sneaker, so keep that in mind. Sliding these on... initial fit is TTS, with that familiar snug AJ1 wrap around the midfoot. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" cushioning is firm – don't expect Boost-level comfort, it's more about support & style. They're not heavy, but you "feel" grounded. For $135, the quality here is pretty standard for a Mid. Great for short walks or casual wear, but maybe not your all-day, on-your-feet shoe. Final thoughts: Don't buy the "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" expecting a revolution. You're buying a legend, in a slightly more accessible & often more creative, "SE" format. The comfort is okay after break-in, the look is "undeniable". For the price? I think it's a fair deal. It's a solid 7.5/10 for me – a great "style" piece with some minor, expected drawbacks.
