Also, comfort-first sneakerheads who prioritize pillowy softness might find the ride too firm. And if you're a purest who "only" rocks the OG High OG cuts, the Mid silhouette and SE alterations might not be for you. It's all about your personal preference and needs. Comparing it to other Jordans? This Air Jordan 1 Mid SE sits right between a High and a Low. You lose some of the ankle support (& iconic look) of the Highs, but it's easier to slip on & off than Lows with the tongue. For $135, it's a more accessible entry into the Jordan 1 family, no doubt. So, should "you" cop? If you need a versatile, no-brainer sneaker that looks good with everything and carries the Jordan legacy, then 100%, go for it. But if your main criteria is advanced cushioning or you only collect rare releases, you can probably pass. For everyone else, this "Jordan series" Mid is a really smart, affordable pick-up. Thumbs up from me. On foot now, and here’s the real talk: the comfort level is… standard for a Jordan 1. It’s a flat, firm ride – don't expect boost or react foam, okay? The ankle collar & lacing give a secure, snug fit though. For $130, you're paying for the style, not groundbreaking tech. If you want a pillow on your foot, look elsewhere!
