Walking around, you get that confident, "head-turning" AJ1 vibe. It's not the most innovative shoe tech-wise, in the Jordan series, but for pure aesthetics? It delivers big time. Just a sharp, "photogenic" sneaker. Comparing it directly to a Jordan 1 High OG... the height difference is obvious. The Mid SE feels slightly less restrictive around the ankle, which some people prefer. You lose a little of that classic High OG profile, but you gain a bit of everyday practicality. For a lot of folks, especially if you're new to the Jordan series, this air jordan 1 mid se is a perfect, less-intimidating entry point. Who should skip it? Hardcore sneakerheads who only respect the OG High silhouette might pass. Also, if you need plush, modern cushioning for long hours on your feet—this isn't it. The "Air Jordan 1 Mid" is about style and heritage, not cutting-edge tech. Know what you're buying into. Comparing it to my other Jordans... the Air Jordan 1 Mid SE sits, well, in the middle. It's more accessible than chasing High OGs, often at a better price. The build quality here is solid, though maybe not "quite" as plush as a premium High release. For a daily wearer in the Jordan family, it's a fantastic option, no cap.
