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. Comparing it to my other Jordans — specifically, the OG High — the main difference is obviously the collar height. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" offers a different vibe. It's less restrictive, a bit more casual-day-to-day for me. The materials might feel a step down from some premium High releases, but for a general release at this price? It's completely understandable and fair, in my opinion. Comparing it to other Jordans... this "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" sits comfortably between the High and the Low. You get more ankle support than a Low, but it's easier to get on and off than a High. Price-wise, it's often more accessible than many High-top colorways. The silhouette is iconic, instantly recognizable. It's a perfect model for someone who loves the AJ1 look but wants a little more practicality for daily use. Just manage your comfort expectations! The craftsmanship on my pair is decent – no major glue stains or messy stitching. For a Mid, the "Air Jordan 1 Mid SE" holds up. On foot, the toe box creases pretty typically, so be ready for that 'lived-in' look fast. It's part of the charm, though! If you hate creasing, this model – and most AJ1s – might not be for you. But for a classic, beatable sneaker, it's a winner.
