The silhouette is slightly different, less iconic. But! For practicality? The Mid wins for me. Easier to wear, often more interesting color stories in the SE line. This specific pair was $135, and for that, it's a great value if you're expanding your collection. Let's be real - the "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" isn't trying to reinvent the wheel. It's a reliable, good-looking shoe. The pros are obvious: iconic look, easy to style, generally available. A potential con for some? It's "everywhere". You won't have a unique grail, but you'll have a dependable classic. For daily beaters, that's totally fine by me. After wearing these all day, my feet were... okay. Not sore, but I definitely noticed the firm ride. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" is about style, first and foremost. The good news? They break in. After a few wears, they mold to your foot better. For the price, you're paying for the legacy and the look. Just don't expect cloud-like comfort straight out of the box – manage those expectations! Here's my real take: the Air Jordan 1 Mid SE is a workhorse. For ~$135 USD, you get a piece of sneaker history in a more wearable package. The build quality on my pair is good—no glue stains or anything. Walking in them feels natural. Compared to some newer Jordans, it’s less techy, more classic. Great for collectors who also want to wear their kicks. Not so great for performance basketball, obviously. A definite recommend for casual wear.
