It's a flat, court-inspired shoe. If you need arch support or are on your feet all day, consider something with more tech. Also, if you're a strict "Highs only" Jordan purist, the Mid cut might feel like a compromise. Here's my take after a full day in these Air Jordan 1 Mid SE sneakers. The 'Sail' and neutral tones look even better in natural light—super photogenic. They're comfortable enough for casual wear, but I have to note the toe box creasing; it happens fast with this type of leather. At around $135 USD, it's a fair price for a Jordan Brand shoe. I'd say these are ideal if you're building a collection with versatile pieces. If you're super concerned about keeping your kicks pristine, the material choice might frustrate you. On the flip side, who might wanna pass? Hardcore performance basketball players—this is not a modern hoop shoe. 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. Slipping these on… the fit is pretty true to size for me. The comfort? It's an "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE", so don't expect Cloud-like cushioning – it's a firm, supportive feel. The ankle collar on the Mid is a bit lower, which I actually prefer for all-day wear. The weight is fine, not too heavy. It's that iconic feel, just slightly updated.
