It's a staple. But if you're a purist who only rocks High OGs, you might not be swayed. For $135-ish, it's a reliable, stylish option that gets compliments and works hard in any rotation. Solid pick-up. Slipping into this Air Jordan 1 Mid SE. The insole is pretty basic, so the footbed feel is quite flat—just setting expectations! The design, however, is what you're here for. This particular SE version has some nice contrasting stitching that adds character. Pros? Timeless silhouette, relatively affordable entry into Jordans. Cons? Arch support is minimal. Honestly, I think these are perfect for collectors or casual wearers who prioritize aesthetics. If you have specific orthopedic needs, I'd say proceed with caution or add your own insoles. So, is this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" worth it? My take: "yes", but with a caveat. If you want a stylish, iconic-looking shoe – that won't destroy your wallet (around $125) – it's a great pick. If you need plush, all-day comfort "right away"? Maybe not. For a first Jordan, or a casual rotation staple, though? Definitely a strong contender. Who should "skip" this pair? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all, this isn't it. Also, if you're a Jordan purist who only rocks High OGs, the Mid cut might not do it for you. And for true performance basketball? Obviously, look at modern sig shoes instead. Know what you're buying!
